General Notes: Husband - Capt. Thomas Harris


He held that invincible enemy, death, at bay for 106 years. When 80 years old he was discovered planting an orchard of apple trees. With the officiousness of familiarity a neighbor said: "What are you doing that for, Captain? You'll never live to get any of the apples." But Captain Harris lived twenty-six years longer and enjoyed the fruit of his planting.
