THE ROME HUSTLER-COMMERCIAL
“Dr. Harris was theeurgeon of
the Ist. Tennessee cavalry during
the late unpleasantness. Fcr many
years be was a resident ofthe Flat
woods district of Floyd county,
moving from his home in the
country to Rome.
“lie is the father of nineteen
children, the oldest being Judge
George Harris of the Floyd city
court, and his second son being
Alderman Walter Harris, the
able justice of the peace of the
Rome district.”
“Thirteen of Dr. Harris’chil
dren were boys. Eleven of his
Hock are living.”
“Dr. Harris a native of the
valley of Virginia and is a mem
ber of one of the strongest polit
cal families in several states.”
“As a minister of the Method
ist church he had the right to
unite loving couples in the holy
bonds and it is undisputed fact
that Dr. Cramp Harris has mar
ried more couples than any oth
er half dozen authorized persons
in this neck of the woods.”
Dr. Harris was born June 1,
1831. 11 is first wife was Miss
Sallie Norris, a daughter of Dr.
Norris of Huntsville, Ala. Dr.
Norris was at one lime Grand
Master of the Masons of Ala
bama. Dr. Harris was a member
of Cherokee lodge of Rome.
10 this first union were born
four children who survive him.
They are Judge George A. 11.,
Judge Walter and Mr. Oscar M.
Harris of Rome, and Mrs. S.illie
Jackson, of Athmta.
11 is second wife, whosu.vives
him, was Miss Jemie Briidlord,
of Pine Log, Bartow county.
The children of this union who
survive the death of thjir father
are :
Rev. S. A. Harris, of Austell,
William E. Harris, of Fort
Worth, Charles I. Haris and
Wesley F. Harris, of Rome, all
grown to manhood and Miss Ava
aged 16, Master Miller, aged 14
and Ola, aged 12 years.
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral will not occur un
til some time Wednesday and
will be at Pleasant Valley ceme
tery in the Flatwoods. The de
lay is occasioned by tho desire
of the children to have all mem
bers of the family present and!
as Mr. Will Harris lives in Tex
as he can’t arrive in time for
the ceremonies to occur on to
morrow.
More than 40 years ago Cramp
Harris was licensed to preach,
and though a practicing physi
cian he has found time to min
ister to the spiritual wellfare of
mankind in thousands of ser
mons.
He organized the church of
Shiloh in this county and, while
a resident of Flatwoods district
has ridden hoFsebnck to Trion
factory scores of times to preach
to his flock there.
Os his old command in the
Ist. Tennessee cavalry only three
members remain, one is a Mr.
Smith in Mississippi and the
other two are Officer J. L. Col
lier of the Rome police force and
James McGuire, superintendent
of the Rome water works.
Generous hearted and warm
and impulsive natured, Cramp
Harris was loved best by those
who knew him most intimately.
The people to whom he minis
tered, the poor and the needy
afflicted are the ones who will
miss him most for they needed
him worst. A good citizen has
passed out from life and a Chris
tian spirited disciple has gone
to his reward.
Cramp Harris has finished his
life work, but his good deeds
will not soon fade from the mem
ory of man. Peace to bis ashes.
JROME GEORGIA, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 18. 1893.
PROBABLY A FAKE,
Story That Caused Excite
ment in Washington
POPE’S INTERFERENCE
Said to Have Brought Peace to
Cuba.
Washington, April 18
Through one of the legations
l here there comes a story of start
ling import. This is that through
the mediation of the pope the)
insurgents have come to terms
(with Spain and that war in Cu
ba is at an end. This story de
clares that Gomez has gone to
I Madrid under assurances that
he can carry back to his people
the freedom for which they have
been fighting.
There is no means of verify
ing this story, and it is general
ly doubted in consecjuence. All
our consulshave left Cuba, and
iof what has occurred there du
ring the past week we know
nothing, except such informa
tion as is vouchsafed by Span
ish consors.
Os course, if this is true —if
Spain is herself ready to recog
nize the independence of tin
Cubans—no stronger indorse
ment of the wisdom of recogni
tion by this government conic
possibly be had.
The Goin -z rumor has created
the greatest excitement here in
i WaO.iin 'ton. The state depart
ment officials declare they know
( nothing of such a state of affairs
as indie ited by the -story, but it
comes from a diplomatic source
which usually h s important
I information ahead of everybody
else here.
POPE SUGGESTS INDEPENDENCE.
London, April 18 —The Rome
correspondent of The Times,
i says: “In Vatican circles the
'opinion is still held that an ont
i break of war may yet bo pre
vented, and a rumor is afloat to
the effect that the pope is en
deavoring to persuade Spain to
recognize the independence of
. Cuba.”
' TREAT WITH INSUR.4ENTS.
Commissioners Leave Havana
See Gomez.
Havana, April 18.—This
morning Pedro Rabell, colonial
secretary of post and communi
cations ; Dolz Giberga and Le
opoldo Sila, a well known law
yer, designated by the autono
mist government as a parlia
mentary commission to approach
the insurgent government in
Eastern Cuba, left by rail for
Botano, from which point they
will proceed by a < oast steamer
to Santa Cruz del Sur, to ascer
tain whether the insurgent gov
ernment in the province of Puer
to Principe will accept the ar
mistice.
If received the commission
will indicate a neutral zone and
propose conditions and a place
of meeting Senors Juan Rami
rez and Silvestra Ancalada,
prominent autonomists and
members of the central commit
tee. have been appointed by the
committee with the same end in
view. They left this morning
for Santa Cruz del Sur, where
they will use their influence in
the name of the autonomisi par
ty, but independently of the par
liamentary commission.
There is great expectations as
to the result, which, is anxiously
awaited.
