HENRY HARRIS

​

Appearing in the Sutter County Farmer April 30, 1886, was the following article:

“A.P. Russell, of South Butte, was in our office Monday and informed us of the sad death of this little grandson, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Harris, formerly of this county, but now of Spokane, W.T. Little Henry was an unusually bright, promising child and a great favorite of his parents and relatives.

 

Mr. Russell left them some three weeks ago, when the child was well and hearty, but shortly after his arrival home, he received the sad news. Oscar Lybecker, who left here a few weeks ago with wife and two children, is visiting the family of Mr. Harris, where, shortly after his arrival, his children with those of Mrs. Harris’s were stricken with that dreadful disease, scarlet fever, which resulted in the death of little Henry. Mr. Russell informs us that at last accounts, Mr. Lybecker’s children were improving slowly, but were still dangerously ill. We sympathize with the parents, and trust the worst is over.”
