Obituary - Mrs. Deborah Harris

  • Obituary: Mrs. Deborah Harris

Deborah Harris, only daughter of Charles and Ann Porter, was born in Weltshire, England, Dec. 1, 1845.

At the age of four years she came with her parents to Seville Station, later called Creston where she recided with her parents until April 9, 1868, when she was united in marriage to Allen W. Harris at Seville, Ohio., by Rev. Noyes, pastor of the Presbyterian Church. They went at once to Catawba Island making their home there for eleven years, then going to Cleveland for a while, later returning to Creston and in 1889 erected the Arcade Hotel, which has been their home every since.

To this union four children were born, one dying in infancy. Those who survive their mother are Mrs. J. F. Donahue of Cleveland, Mrs. Wm. Davidson of Akron and Joe Harris at home.

She departed this life at Creston, June 6, 1922 aged 76 years, 6 months and 5 days.

Mrs. Harris was one of the pioneers at Creston, and a life long member of the Presbyterian Church which she attended until failing health prevents.

Her genial disposition and kindly acts gave her a large place in the hearts of many. Her hospitality was enjoyed by the children a well as the adults, this testimony is borne of her, 'She truly was the children's friend.'

As landlady of the Arcade Hotel she acquired a large circle of constant friends.

She was a kind appreciative affectionate devoted wife and mother and this was reciprocated as was evidenced in the ministry of love during the years of failing health, every wish of wife and mother was granted as far as possible. She was a long though patient sufferer.

She leaves to mourn their loss a devoted, patient and loving husband and children besides a host of friends.

The funeral services were held from her late home. Rev. H. G. Southern officiating and burial was made in the Seville cemetery.

All things are changing here. The smiles of love we gaze on. The friends we hold so dear. [32]
