• Notes

  From her youth she was a devout member of the Methodist church. "For a whole generation she has been a burning and shining light in the Saxonville charge. For several years past she has been an invalid - a patient trusting sufferer. In her earlier and more active years she was one of the sweetest of singers, and the former pastors of this church will very pleasantly recall, as people do here, her great services in those times on behalf of the public praise in the Lord's house. Sister Harriman was a woman of uncommon intellectual penetration, of strong and steadfast faith and of a most exemplary walk and conversation." (Obituary evidently written by the pastor for a local newspaper.)
