The Washington Critic, of Monday, thus
announces the death of a former resident of
Memphis, well known to our older citizens:
There is one pleasant face, one generous
heart, one honest and true man, whose voice
and manly form will never more be seen or
heard on this earth. Colonel Bledsoe Har-
mon, one of the most generous and whole
souled men that ever lived, died very sud.
denly on Sunday morning of apoplexy, at
his hotel, in This city. AT 6 o'clock he was
talking TO his wife apparently in as good
health as he had been in for some time.
About 7:30 o'clock she heard him breathing
very hard and, calling TO him, discovered
that he was dying. She called for help, but
before any assistance could be rendered he
had solved the great mystery and crossed
over the river of time to rest in the peaceful
calm of eternity. Colonel Harmon was the
grandson Of Elk. Governor De Shae, of Ken
lucky, and was connected with the Breckin-
ridges and Johnsons of that State. He was
a man of considerable ability and fine adj
dress. His remains are at the undertaking
Of Mr.. Buckley, from whence
hey will be removed to their last resting
place.
