The Staunton News saws probably

The Staunton News says probably
no other family has met so overwhelm-
ing disaster in the Galveston food as
the family Of the late Judge John W.
Harris, who went to Texas so or GO
years ago from AIbemarIe county.
At the time of the disaster his widow
was living in Galveston, as also all
her children. There were five fami-
lies living in a row, all related, and
so far as known all persisted. 1t is
thought thirty descendants Of Judge
Harris, or related by marriage, were
lost. Quite a number of them left
Virginia for home Just in time to
reach Galveston the night before the
hurricane. Some Of the ladies lost
were graduates Of Mary Baldwin Sem
