Mr Harris passed away at his home on Digby Neck, being 77 years of age. His son, LV Harris of Bear River had been with him for some time previous to his death and came here with the body on Monday. He had also been visited by 2 other sons, Fred W Harris, Town Clerk of Annapolis Royal, and Arthur W of Sydney. The funeral was also attended by a brother of the deceased, His Honor the Chief Justice of Nova Scotia, acting Lieut.-Governor. His only other surviving brother, Reverend Canon Harris, also of Halifax is now on a trip to California. Although Mr Harris had not been in very close touch with Annapolis Royal for a good many years, he is well remembered by many of the older residents when he conducted a tannery on quite an extensive scale, west of Allen’s Creek, and manufactured not only leather but fishermen’s boots as a specialty in the days before seaboots were made of rubber and when leather was of solid quality to stand sea wear. In the latter output he gained a high reputation and when his tannery was destroyed by fire about 1879 he moved to Digby Neck where a large part of his business had been built up among the shore fishermen. . . . Mr Harris erected the brick building corner of St. Anthony Street and St. George Street which was afterwards occupied by Mr Blackie and which was destroyed in the fire of Sept 7, 1921, the premises being now the property of WR Perkins. It was there that Mr Harris lived when doing business here. He is survived by his widow who had been spending the winter with her daughter in Sydney, but had returned to Digby Neck a week before her husband died, and 7 children: Fred W of this town, Arthur W and Mrs AD Jost in Sydney; Mrs Rupert Pratt, and Mrs Percy Clarkson of Toronto; Miss Maizie in Taunton, Mass. and LV of Bear River.
