the REVIEW will hereafter run business

Harris was the best preacher it was my

From the Boone papers which contain
many glowing euloges of Rev. Harris we
take the following brief sketch of his life.
Sketch Of Rev. Harris Life.
Joseph Benson Harris was born in Bel
mont county, Ohio July IA. 1859. He
lived in that county for nine years before
coming to Iowa. AT the age of FIVE years
his father died and was buried in Ohio
Coming to Iowa, the family, consisting of
Mrs. Harris and two sons and daughter
located in Charlton. AT the age of12 Mr..
Harris entered the employ of c. B & Q.
as messenger While in this service he
learned to operate and for number of
years held responsible positions with the
Burlington. He worked in a number of
small towns and then went to Ottumwa
and Charlton. From Charlton he went
to Creston and there at the age of ri he
resigned and entered Simpson college to
prepare himself for the ministry. He
spent three years in Simpson college and
then accepted the charge at Lewis, Iowa.
In 1883 he was admitted to the conference
and since that time has filled number
of pulpits.
On the 18th of November, 1884 he was
united in marriage to Miss Della Berry of
Menlo. This was during his pastorate at
Lewis. After serving three years in this
charge he went to Audubon and served
three years, then Denison for five years.
From Denison he went to Des Moines and
accepted the pastorate Of the North Des
Mones Methodist church. AT the end
of this year he went to Indianoa and oc-
cupied the pulpit of the Methodist church
there for three years At the close of his
pastorate in that city he was rendered the
position of president of Simpson college
and remained there one year, he resigned
and returned to Denison where he occupi-
ed his old pulpit for an other year. In
1900 he came to Boone as pastor of the
First Methodist church and has resided
here ever since
He leaves widow. three children,
Bessie, Bert an Earl, one sister, Mrs.

ALL IOWA MOURNS.
Death of Rev. ]. B. Harris
I Brings Gloom to Thousands.
AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL
Secretary Shaw Hastens From Wash
ington to Pay Tributeto SANITY Cier-
gyman. Business Houses Close.

After long and exceedingly painful
illness, Rev. j. B. Harris has found the
peace of death. His best friend could not
have wished him prolongation of his
suffering, but to all comes the deep regret
that this life could not have been spared
in health and happiness to carry on the
great work to which his life was dedicat-
ed
The grief is felt with great keenness in
Denison and especially by the members
of the Methodist church of which he was
twice the dearly beloved pastor. No
purer minded better man has ever lived
in cur community, no man who has better
typified the Christian life and the Chris
tian example of holiness and purity and
love.
Boone paid its tribute on Tuesday
afternoon to the memory OF this we'll
nigh perfect man. The busy life OF the
city was stilled, the schools and business
houses were closed during the service and
seemingly all of Boone joined the vast
congregation that filled the church.
The service was simple but wonderfully
imrressive and as each speaker laid his
laurel wreath on the casket of his friend
one felt as Secretary Shaw well said, that
no one could measure the power OF we'll
spent life. Each word found an echo in
the arts of all present. The choir sang
Jesus Lover of My Soul, and after prayer
and Bible reading Rev DIR E. Miller OF
this city who had charge of the cere-
monies spoke feelingly and well of Mr..
Harris. DIR. Miller was a warm friend OF
Rev. Harris and his words had that
simple sincerely that betrays deep teel-
tng
Senator w. H. Berry of Indianola spoke

that the influence of his life would be felt

The address given by Secretary Shaw
We publish in full, but the cold print fails
to do justice to the simple eloguence with
which it was delivered
The grief of the people OF Boone was
touching and sincere; church and lndivid-
ual, rich and poor, young and old, joined
in the general mourning for this good
man.
Flowers were in great profusion and
gave their silentmessages Of love and hope
to the family.
To Mrs Harris. who has been as brave
and as true as her husband, and to the
children. we extend our most heartfelt
sympathy, atthe same time congratulate
ing them upon the priceless legacy left
them in the life and deeds of their father.
