Richard Harris
Died, of congestion of the bowels, at his late
residence, in Mississippi, on the 29 ult. (July 29, 1851), Richard
Harris, in the 64th year of his age. It is, of course, painful to
the sensibilities of the heart to reflect upon the death of a fellow
being, but that natural feeling is deepened into melancholy regret,
and even repining, when one is taken from amoung us whose worth and
whose virtues might be quoted as illustrative of the glory of his
kind. The deceased was a native of Abbeville district, South
Caorlina, and in the year 1836 removed to Mississippi...For eighteen
years he had been a member of the Presbyterian church...(The
