    Charles Jonathan Harris

    Friends from Cedar, Dade and Barton Counties crowded into the Harmony Church Thursday afternoon to pay their respects to the late Charles J. Harris, who for 55 years lived on his farm near Newport. The services were in charge of Rev. A. L. Collins of Liberal, and were directed by Carl Konantz. In addition to the number of friends from the three counties there were several from Joplin and other places. The floral offering was also large. A mixed choir sang three numbers, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," "We'll Never Grow Old," and "That Bright City." Mrs. Clyde Hagins was on the piano. The women in charge of the flowers were misses Fern and Aldene Harris, Norma Cross, Jean Short, Jewell Hayward and Lena Hayward. The pallbearers were Will Harris, Earl Harris, R. M. Cross, Dale Cross, Ora Cross and Walter Jenkins. Following the services at the church the body was interred in the Round Prairie neighborhood. Mr. Harris will sleep in the neighborhood where he spent his entire lifetime - seventy years.
