Many Attended Funeral of Mrs. R. B. Harris Sunday P. M.

The funeral of Mrs. R. B. Harris was largely attended Sunday at the late residence on College avenue and only a few of the many friends who had gathered were able to find seats in the house. The service was conducted b/ Rev. G. H. Clarke, pastor of the Christian church, of which she had long been a devoted member. The floral offerings were of large numbers and very beautiful, many of the friends of the good woman remembering her in this manner. Only one of the four surviving sisters was able to attend the funeral, that being Mrs. Evaline Randle. Of the out-of-town relatives who attended the funeral were C. W. Coen, of South Bend; Delos Coen, of Chicago; Joseph Moore and sister, Mrs. Hamilton, children of Frank Moore, of Indianapolis,' whose wife was a sister of Mrs. Harris; George Brown, of Knox. Two other out-of-town friends to attend the funeral were Mrs. Dr. Sharrer, of Francesvllle, and Mrs. Philip Kasson, of Hammond. Several hundred people gathered at the cemetery to pay their last respects to the deceased, and tears dimmed the eyes of most of the large crowd of people as the last rites were administered.
