-The funeral of Stephen Harris, of Bentonsport, whose obituary is mentioned elsewhere in this issue, was attended by a large number of acquaintances from Bentonsport and vicinity. Senator Vale of Harrisburg township was present as well as many others from that locality where Mr. Harris and wife once resided. Of relatives present from a distance, were Mrs. Anson, Mr. Siemon and mother and Gus Rehkopf all from Kilbourne. Last fall Mr. Harris with his wife and child moved from the country to Bentonsport where he could receive constant medical care and attention as a relief from consumption which at last caused his death.
