General Notes: Husband - David Harris

---

He received his education in the schools of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and at the academy there. At the age of eighteen he went to Philadelphia, where he was engaged in mercantile pursuits several years, when he returned to his native town and established himself in the general transportation business in connection with the canal, and subsequently in merchandizing. For many years he was clerk of the borough and city councils, was a justice of the peace under the borough charter, and one of the first aldermen elected under the city charter. In 1814 he marched to Baltimore-one of the youngest in that band of brave defenders-with the "Harrisburg volunteers," and was among the last of its survivors. Upon his retirement from councils he lived in quiet retirement, his age rendering it impossible for him to participate in any active business. He was a man of strict integrity, and lived an honorable and correct life, doing what he had to do faithfully, beloved and respected by his friends and neighbors.
