The following interesting sketch will give further personal details:

        " ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY WORTHY GONE!"
"Departed this life on the evening of the 22d instant, at the
residence of his son in this place, Mr. Henry Harris, in the 75th
year of his age.  Mr. Harris was a native of Richmond County, Va.,
and at a very early period of the Revolution enlisted at
Fredericksburg (Va) in Col. Baylor's Regiment of Dragoons.  From the
time of his enlistment until the close of the war, he was actively
engaged in the service of his country.  In most of the important
battles that were fought, he bore his share.  He was present at the
surrender of Burgoyne --- at the battles of the Brandywine, the
Cowpens, Camden, Guilford and Yorktown. From the time of his
retirement from the army until his death, he had lived in the Western
and Southwestern States; and throughout a long life sustained the
reputation acquired in early youth.  It was his glory to think that
he had aided in freeing his country from oppression, and it was his
fondest boast that he had served under the eye of his great commander
Washington.  When stretched upon the bed of weakness and old age he
viewed his approaching end with the calmness and fortitude which
characterized him when struggling in the deadly combat with the
enemies of his country.  For some time previous to his death, his
mind seemed to dwell upon the incidents of his early life --- and it
was truly affecting to listen to the old man, and hear him accounting
the battles of his youth.
"Shoulder the crutch and show how fields were won.
"It was his dying request that he should be buried with military
honors; and accordingly when it was announced that he had ceased to
live, the 'Huntsville Guards' proceeded to make arrangements for his
interment.  On yesterday at half past 10, the Guards reached his late
residence, and as the procession moved from the house, the Artillery
Company under the direction of their public spirited commander Capt.
Lynes commenced firing minute guns. Thirteen rounds were fired by the
time the procession reached the graveyard; here the usual military
obsequies were performed by the Guards.
"Here we might pause; for surely it is enough to secure the regret of
every American, by simply announcing that the deceased was a soldier
of the Revolution; but justice to his memory requires of us to say,
that as a man, he lived respected and died lamented by all who knew
him." --- Southern Advocate, Huntsville, Ala., October 29,   1833,
from the Star-Spangled Banner, October 24, 1833.
