Mrs. George Harbord
Mrs. Margaret Harbord, daughter of Henry and Margaret Niday, was born in Gallia County, Ohio, August 13, 1852. While yet a small child she came with her parents to Iowa and grew to womanhood near Humeston.
On January 1, 1873 she was united in marriage to George Harbord. To them were born four children: Nellie who died while yet a child, Orie who lives at Colorado Springs, Colorado, Mrs. E. C. Thompson of Kiowa, Kansas and Mrs. Ira Davis who resides at Clarinda.
Mr. and Mrs.  Harbord came to Clarinda on June 18, 1880 where they have since resided, and have been among the city's most respected citizens.     For a few   years Mrs. Harbord, in   addition to the busy cares of her home, picked up her profession as a school teacher which she had   followed  before her marriage, and taught in the old Industrial School in our city.   Many of the housewives of this community will be able to testify to the value of her service in this line   as she taught them to sew and while teaching them this useful art also taught them the finer things of    womanhood well lived. Mrs. Harbord was a member of the Women's Relief Corps and was color bearer in that organization.
As a neighbor, a friend, a citizen, a wife and mother in the home Mrs. Harbord could be eulogized very highly. And those who knew her best loved and respected her most. But all these fine qualities of womanhood were enchanced by her quiet, yet intense, Christian character. In the early 80's she and her husband united with the church of Christ of this city and in the church our sister found great joy and by her loyalty, her zeal and her service she helped to make possible the splendid congregation that is here today. Those especially of the older members of the church will recall with pleasure the faithful and devoted life she lived and the good influence she exerted upon the lives of those with whom she came in contact. In various ways her activity expressed itself. She was at different times president or other officer of the Ladies Aid Socity, the Woman's Missionary Society and for years taught classes of boys of about the age of twelve to fourteen, an age when she could and did influence them powerfully for useful and upright manhood.
She and Mrs. Sam Gorman raised the first funds to build the present church edifice and she and Mrs. Margaret Moore gave the first dollar each to the new church building now in process of erection.
During the meetings last fall and winter she was able to attend most of the services and the very last service she attended was the prayer meeting, a service which she always attended with pleasure and profit both to herself and those who met with her.. We shall miss her from our worship but for the hour to which she has come she lived and we rejoice in her victory.
For a number of years Mrs. Harbord has been a sufferer of physical pain and last February she had a severe attack from which she never completely rallied. She lingered until 7:40 the morning of July 4th when she passed easily and quietly to be with the Lord whom she loved and served. She was 68 years, 10 months, 21 days. Besides the three children she is survived by her husband, one sister who lives at Excelsior Springs, Missouri, and other more distant relatives.
We shall miss her, yet it is not ours to mourn today as those who have no hope. "Weep not; for she is not dead but sleepeth". And her quiet life in Christ lived so earnestly and faithfully in our midst will live on in us. For we cannot forget.
"The dear Lord's best interpreters
Are humble human souls; The gospel of a life like hers
Is more than books or scrolls". The funeral   was   held   at   the church, at 3 o'clock, Wednesday, the pastor, Rev. Jas. A. Burns being in charge.     Interment   was   in the Clarinda, cemetery. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 7, 1921

Scott Harrell Suicides.
Last Saturday evening   about 7 o'clock Scott Harrell, who is well known in Clarinda attempted to commit suicide by shooting and at this writing although still alive there is no hope of his final recovery according to the reports in the Omaha paper.   His father-in-law,  Luke Akin, was in the room when the effort was made but before he could interfere and get the revolver away from him he had succeeded in getting two shots at himself, one, of   which passed through the lung just below the point of tbe heart and lodged in the muscles of the back, the other striking a rib, glanced aside and was not serious. It seems that Harrell has been having some financial troubles and also has been trying to drown bis troubles in strong drink so that the result is nothing more than might be expected from the experience of the past. He has a great many friends in this locality who will learn of this great calamity with sincere regret and sorrow, for all who knew him appreciated him as a kind hearted, gentlemanly and worthy man. He left here about fifteen years ago to take a position in the stock yards of Omaha and had been very successful in his business operations until recently.
Later—Word has been received here that he died last night about five o'clock. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 20, 1904

There were quite a number of the friends and business associates of the late Scott Harrell came from Omaha with the remains which were brought here for interment yesterday,  As the hearse bearing the remain's passed along the streets six of them walked as pall bearers. It is a very touching thought that one who has had so much of good fortune in his life should have ended his days of opportunity so suddenly and without any good reason for so doing.  The funeral service were conducted at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F R. Apple and were of a very impressive character. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 23, 1904

A MANLY YOUNG MAN.
Self Sacrificing in the Interest of Country and Parents.
In an obituary of Charles B. Harris, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Harris, a soldier who died in France and whose remains recently arrived in Coin, where he was given a home funeral and burial, it is states that he enlisted in the World war the day after war was declared between the United States and Germany, April 7, 1917. He was a member of Company E of the Third Iowa. He was most of the time in the trenches from Feb. 20,1918, until July 24, that year. His services as a soldier were highly commended by his chaplain, W. E. Robb, in a letter from Mr. Robb to his parents. The following, from The Gazette obituary, gives something of an insight into the young man's character:
"Charlie," as he was known to his friends, continued his school work in our graded schools, being a quiet and steady student, and later, in high school, took an active part in athletics, playing upon both the base ball and foot ball teams.
In 1913. when his father became postmaster, Charlie took his place in helping with the routine of postoffiee work, being quick and accurate in transacting his duties daily, as well as courteous and pleasant in his dealing with the public.

In the winter of 1917, when his father was seriously ill for three weeks from an attack of erysipelas Charlie showed his spirit of dependability and self sacrifice, by taking complete charge of the postoffice, doing the work of three, and all this time suffering agonies from his feet hurting him. When his father and mother were able to take their places again, he then told them of his trouble, and, upon being weighed, found that the extra work and pain undergone uncomplainingly, had caused him to lose thirteen pounds in that length of time.

Charlie was over in France with the Co. E boys being among the first one of the Coin boys to join the army. He has always written home to his parents most hopefully about his return home and never complainingly but always saying that he never had regretted enlisting in the service of his country and wanted to stay there until the scrap was over and peace restored. No particulars of the sad event has been received as yet. Memorial services for the boys who were killed in the battle from Shenandoah and Charlie Harris from Coin were held at Garfield Park in the former place on Sunday afternoon. A large number from Coin attending. Rev Rink of this place had a part on the program. Mr. and Mrs. Harris have another son in the service. Clarence, who is in the navy and on the ship "Wisconsin".

Harris, Charles, Mrs - Grant Harris attended the funeral Monday afternoon in Hamburg of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Charles Harris, who died Saturday afternoon of a stroke of paralysis. Mrs. Harris was 53 years of age, and leaves a husband and four grown children, two sons and two daughters. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 12, 1920

The above can hardly be said ito be a good likeness of Hon. D. M. Harris, for it lacks the genial expression, and kindly sympathy that has been a notable characteristic of the man during all the years of his life, but it shows him to be a man of force and earnestness. Last Friday, July 21, he was 90 years old, as the years go, but he was in reality a young man in thought and action.

Two of his daughters, Mrs. C. C. Lahman, of Missouri Valley, Iowa, and Mrs. C. A. Lisle, of Clarinda, gave a reception for him on his anniversary during the afternoon and evening, and it was attended by hundreds of his old time friends and neighbors who were pleased to have the opportunity of calling on him and giving personal expression to their feelings of appreciation and admiration. Light refreshments were served and all were asked to register their names so that, as Mr. Harris expressed it, he might have a certificate of character to present to Saint Peter when he calls at the gate. It was a remarkably interesting reception, and it is accorded to very few persons to have such an expression from those who have for so many years associated with their neighbors in the intimate relation existing in this case. Mr. Harris has been speaking to the people through the columns of the paper for forty years and during that time it is reasonable to suppose that he would make some enemies, but there was no evidence apparent that any one harbored a feeling that he had been unjust or unfair in recording the passing events or in the criticisms he had made. It is worth while to live so that at the approaching end of a long life one can meet his neighbors and look them in their eyes and fell that they have no bitterness of' feeling toward him.

D. M. Harris was born in Layton, Ohio, July 21, 1821. His parents died when he was only ten years of age, leaving a family of eight children. Soon after the death of the parents the family became scattered and while but a boy, D. M. started for Mississippi with the idea of making his home in the then new country, but he stopped in Williamsport, Tenn., where he obtained employment and married Mass Martha M. White, in 1841. Six boys and four girls were born to them and all are yet living, the only death in the family being that of the wife and mother, who passed to the other world in 1898.
In 1854, Mr. Harris brought his family to Audubon county, Iowa, and undertook the work of pioneer farming, but as this was not as fascinating in reality as it had appeared in imagination, he soon turned has attention to the practice of law and moved to Panora, Guthrie county, in 1862, and while there he accidentally became interested in the newspaper businss and in the course of time gave up the law practice and devoted his energies to the editorial work. In 1868 he moved to Missouii Valley, and has been identified with the growth and development of the town ever since.
In politics he has been a democrat and has been a worker for the party during the years when there was little hope of success so far as office holding is concerned. He was elected county judge in 1855, and in 1859 was elected to membership in the state legislature, serving two terms. He later served as state senator and was selected as a candidate for congress on two occasions, besides being a delegate to three national conventions. He served four terms as mayor of Missouri Valley and during his administration some of the most important and substantial improvements were made, all of which are monuments to the fidelity with which he devoted has energies to the interests of the public.
Two of his grandchildren, Guy Mahoney and Rush Lahman, own and manage The Daily and Weekly Times,  which  he    establishied 43 years ago, but he still has the position of special honor, the editorial writer, and the   way   he discusses the questions of the day is a marvel to all who know of his work. He is the most regular attendant of the office, no day too hot or too cold for him to be there, and he has a habit of punctuality   in furnishing copy  most wonderfully developed. His home is   with   his daughter, Mrs. Lahman,  and everything that is possible is done by her to make the evening of   life   pleasant and comfortable.    In all the long years he has kept a   cheerful and sweet disposition, and it is no wonder that he is loved by his friends and adore by his family.   It is an inspiration to know him as he is in the twilight of his long and useful life.

Hon. D. M. Harris.     
Mr. Harris' daughter, Mrs. C. A. Lisle, received a message early Monday morning calling her to her father's bedside, and left on the morning train, but did not arrive before the death Angel had accomplished its mission.

D. M. Harris died very suddenly at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. C. Lahman, in Missouri Valley, this morning, Monday, October 9, at 8:15 o'clock, after an illness of two days, at the age of 90 years, 2 months and 18 days. He was taken suddenly ill Friday evening and died very peacefully at 8:15 Monday morning. Funeral services were held this afternoon from the Christian tabernacle at 2:30 p. m., burial in Rose Hill cemetery.

As we published in an tissue last summer a very complete sketch of Mr. Harris at the time when he celebrated his 90th birthday, we will not repeat that but give the following from the Harrison County News of July 21st, 1909, entitled "Laurels for the Living." And surely what could be a better "Tribute to the Dead" than this beautiful and touching revelation of this good man as others saw him.
"The Hon. D. M. Harris is 88 years old today. Four score and 8 years, and happy in the esteem of his neighbors of this community,among whom he has lived and labored for fifty years. Such a story of such a man and such a community is not found very often, probably not elsewhere in all Iowa at this time. So we pause from our usual seeming selfishness to pay tribute to his life, as we believe it to be due, thus rendering unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's.
" 'D. M.' or Judge, as we, all know him here, was born in 1821 of good old New England stock, and
that accounts for his stolid, persistent stand on the question of temperance, and personal purity all these years. It was born in him. He just could not help it. Of course, his life is checkered with errors, especially his political life. It is human to err, it is divine to forgive, and today we all forgive the genial judge all previous errors and look only to the diviner elements of his life that shine the brighter as he nears the goal and the grave.
"Placidity of thought, feeling and action have been the marked characteristics of his life, and these account for his longevity and the preservation, of his faculties far beyond the average among men of affairs.   
"The 88 years through which Judge Harris has traveled have been the must wonderful in all the earth's history, and they have unfolded more of man's promised dominion over earth'', and sea than any previous 500 years. So D. M. has seen more of history than Methuselah, who lived 969 yeans, and he has not been insensible to their deep significance.
"He has watched the development of the railways with all their train of wonders.. He saw and felt the mighty whirlwind of Civil War, though he read its signs wrong at the time, from force of youthful environment.
"He has known and enjoyed the honors of citizenship that come to good men in a republic like ours. He was admitted to   the bar at manhood's happy hour. He officiated as county judge in Audubon county in the 50's.   During the Civil War he represented this county in the General Assembly.    Twice  he sat as a delegate in the National councils of his party.     And    once he stood for congress, being defeated by Judge Reed. Four times he has served as mayor of his home town.
"But his great life's work has been in the editor's sanctum and greater work hath no man than that. And in his day and, time D. M.'s voice was a recognized power in the councils of his party in western Iowa and generally for good, for God and for humanity. And for this we honor him today. The man who does that is such a one as Napoleon referred to, when he said he feared him more than a legion of soldiers.
"To him and his good wife, long since gone, to her eternal rest, ten children were born and they are now doing the world's work much as their honored sire would have them do it. With him, life is, not 'finished' but it is 'well done.' And the beauty of it all is that he lingers with us in the full use of all his bodily and mental faculties after so long a career, gentle as a child playing awhilee along the beach before launching upon the dark waters that are to carry him to the great beyond, from which no traveler save Jesus of Nazareth has ever returned.
We have thought much of this feature of his life. We attribute it to the living interest he takes in the world's daily work, and to the fact that while he worries not, yet he daily toils at the tasks that have been so genial to him for sixty years. A little reading, a little writing by which his mind is kept clear. A little work that keeps the heart's blood surging through his veins, as if it too were conscious of time and of eternity. And this feature of his life among us, has fully decided us to follow after, even here in Missouri Valley, for with all her faults   she is beautiful for situation and altogether lovely. Today we break ground for a new home for the News, and in it we hope to labor for at   least a score of years yet, much   as   he whose name we honor herein.    And during that time we hope to see the judge going in and out of that familiar door just across the street, till he has rounded out a hundred years at the desk and at the case one   that   needeth    not    to be ashamed, then
"Sunset and the evening, star, And one clear call for me
And may there be no   moaning at the bar When I put out to sea.'" CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 12, 1911

Harry E. Harris, a brother of T.P. Harris of Clarinda, died Saturday, Aug 24, 1918, at 6:05 pm, at St Paul, Minn., of tuberculosis of the bone, age 51 years. He was the son of the late W.H. and Huldah Harris, and was born at Cadiz, O. When 13 years of age he was kicked with a skate under his right knee, and although during a period of twenty-five years after the kick he did not seem to feel ill effects from it it is considered as having much to do with his ailment. On the 12th of August he was operated on for
his trouble, when his right leg was amputated five inches below the hip.
The late Mr. Harris was a linotype operator by occupation and was employed on the St. Paul Daily News. He is survived by his widow, two sons, Morris, age 26 years, and Frank, age 23 years, and a daughter, Manne, age 6 years. The funeral was held Tuesday at St. Paul, and burial was at Pine City, Minn., the former home of the wife of the deceased, Wednesday. T. P. Harris left for St. Paul, Sunday, where he attended the funeral, and returned home Wednesday afternoon. He had visited his brother at St. Paul, about a month before Harry passed away. There also were at the funeral another brother of the deacesed, Frank E. Harris, a linotype operator on the Des Moines Register, and a sister, Mrs. D. H. Beverness of Omaha, both of whom were able to remain for the burial. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 29, 1918

The death of Mrs. H. C. Harris occured in this city last Saturday afternoon, July 25th, 1914, at the home of her son, T. P. Harris. Mrs. Harris, was over sixty years old and had made her home in Des Moines since 1894. Last May she came to Clarinda for a visit with her son T. P. Harris and it was at his home that she became ill and died. Brief funeral services were held at the home of Mr. Harris last Sunday afternoon conducted by Rev. Eppard of the Christian church. On Monday morning the body was taken to Atlantic where funeral services were held in the Christian church conducted by Rev. Hancock the Methodist minister as Mrs. Harris had been a member of the Methodist church for years. The body was laid to rest in the Atlantic cemetery beside her husband who was buried in that city while the family lived there some years ago. The following obituary was written by the children and read during the funeral.
Mrs. Huldah C. Evans was born in Woodsfield, O., Feb., 9th, 1845. It was but another birth, one body among millions given to this world to experience childhood with its joys and sorrows. One body permitted to reach womanhood. One body bound in matrimony to W. H. Harris of New Athens, Ohio, in the year 1866 on the 25th day of June. One body in Motherhood as the living children do testify. One body suffering widowhood from the year 1894. One body blessed by the Sender with endurance to experience old age and grand-parentage. One body to suffer the ravages of disease and one body to be laid away by the hands of the children that it brought into this world. Does this end our words? No! We know not from where this body came and we are not spiritual enough to comprehend where it goes. We know that in this body there was a something we can not explain. We know that there has been a Giver and a Taker and to him this day we bow our heads and show our allegiance. As she was given, so were we. As she has been taken so shall we. We are servants of the same Master and shall some day join hands in closer view of him. As now we see through a cloud darkly then we shall see face to face. From our sight our mother's body will be gone, but upon our memory, her likeness and her deeds are recorded to be reviewed by us at will, thanks to a God that allows an indelible unfading impression to be stamped upon us. These few words you will permit at the request of the four surviving children who are as follows; Harry E. Harris, St. Paul, Minn., F. E. Harris, Des Moines, Iowa, Thomas P. Harris, Clarinda, Iowa; Mrs. D. H. Beverness, Omaha, Nebr. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 30, 1914

Mrs. H. Hakes received the sad news yesterday from Tilamook, Oregon, that her son Jas. Harris had died suddenly. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 15, 1906

Mi.« Jennie R. Harris.
Mrs. Harry B. Welch, of this city, received word recently of the death of her sister, Miss Jennie R. Harris, of Tyrone, Pa. The following notice of her death is taken from the Tyrone Herald.
"Death came unexpectedly at 12:40 Tuesday when Miss Jennie R. Harris breathed her last at the home of her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Reed, 1221 Pennsylvania avenue. Miss Harris had been in her usual health until noon Monday, when she was suddenly seized with uraemic convulsions, which terminated in death.
"Miss Harris had been an invalid for about five years. She was a manicurist and nurse. She followed her profession energetically in Wilkes-Barre and Philadelphia for a time, and then went to Ohio to care for two elderly people. During her stay in Ohio she overworked herself, became broken in health, and about a year ago came to Tyrone to live with her sister. Uraemia first manifested itself about a month ago, since which time she has suffered from it intermittently.
"Miss Harris was born in Luzerne county about 42 years ago. She was a daughter of the late Daniel and Marilla Snyder Harris. Her mother died when Jennie was but six years old, and her father died in 1892. She is survived by her one full sister, Mrs. W. M. Reed, of Tyrone; one half sister, Mrs. Harry B. Welch, of Clarinda, Iowa; a step-mother, Mrs. Mary Harris, and a half-brother, Leroy Harris, both of Orange, N. J. She was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist society of Wilkes-Barre.
Miss Harris was exceptionally bright, agreeable and entertaining. Until ill health compelled her retirement, she was active and interested in many benevolences. She will be remembered by Tyrone people as the captain of the group of young lady entertainers who took a prominent part in raising money for the large pipe organ in the First Presbyterian church, and especially by the Young Ladies Aid society of that denomination, in whose behalf she labored zealously." CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 28, 1907

A shadow of gloom fell at the home of P. M. Harris on May 31, when the angel of death entered it and carried away the life of a loving wife and mother.
After a lingering illness of one year of heart trouble which was borne with the utmost of patience, and a serious illness of eight days, she was relieved from her pain and suffering when the summons came at 4:30 o'clock a.m., May 31, 1917 at the age of 64 years, 7 months and one day.     
Josephine Alice McAlpin, daughter of Robert and Mary McAlpin, was born Oct. 30, 1852, in Johnson Co., Ind. and moved with her parents, in early childhood, to Davis Co., Iowa. In May, 1856, the family moved to Hawleyvilie where she grew to womanhood.
On Nov. 13, 1872 she was united in marriage to Pleasant M. Harris and immediately moved to their home three miles north east of New Market, where they resided thirty-five years. Ten years ago, they moved to their present home one half mile north of New Market. To this union were born two children, Mrs. Etta C. Clabaugh and Thomas A. Harris.
In early womanhood Mrs. Harris united with the M. E. church to which she remained faithful and true to the end.
She was a great lover of flowers and spent many pleasant hours tenderly caring for them. She was greatly loved by all who knew her because of her gentle, quiet, and kindly deeds, as a Christian companion and citizen, that it made a deep and lasting impression upon all with whom it came in contact. No better proof of the regard in which she was held by her friends can be produced than the beautiful and bountiful floral offerings which adorned and covered her bier and the large assembly that attended the funeral and followed the remains to the cemetery.
She leaves to mourn her loss a most devoted husband, P. M. Harris, two children, Etta Clabaugh and Thomas A. Harris, of New Market, two sisters, Mrs. Mary Glasgow of New Market and Mrs. Effie Taylor of Indianola, two half sisters, Mrs. Abbie Hunter of New Market and Mrs. Dora Western of Villisca, and two half brothers, Thomas A. McAlpin of Villisca and Geo. R. McAlpin of Gravity, besides a host of other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the nome Saturday June 2, at 1:30 p.m. conducted by Rev. E. S. Menhoer of Villisca, assisted by Rev. Douglas, pastor at New Market, who spoke words of comfort from the text "Fear none of those things which thou shall suffer. Be thou faithful unto death said I will give thee a crown of life'" A quartette consisting of G. A. Hanshaw, Joe Marsell, Jr., Mrs. G. A. Hanshaw, and Mrs. J. B. Marsell, with Miss Thelma Marsell at the piano, furnished appropriate music. Interment was made at Dallas cemetery.
Although her tender figure is gone we find comfort in the words of the author when he said, "There is no death. Thy stars go down to shine upon some fairer shore, and bright in Heaven, jeweled crowned, tney shine forever more."
