In the death of Major Harding a just man passed to his eternal reward, to receive from the Master he served the welcome plauded "well done good and faithful servant." His life was the soul of honor his dealings with his fellow man just and upright, his loyalty to his country true, his devotion to his family and friends perfect. His service to Christ steadfast his benevolence to the needy often handed generous. He was indeed the truest type of man in God's own image. To him death had no fears, but only an entering into perfect rest after a long and well spent life. His end came peacefully. Only a few moments before the end he was sitting in an armchair on his front porch. Growing suddenly worse he was assisted to his bed and in a few minutes passed away. Major Harding was 76 years of age and a native of Beaufort County where he spent his early years and was educated at Trinity School at Chocowinity. When the Civil War broke out he organized the "Beaufort Plow Boys" and went to the front as captain of that company. His gallantry as a soldier brought him steady promotion until he became Major of the 61st NC Regiment. Through the war he was in the thickest at Charleston and also in several of the hottest battles in the vicinity of Petersburg. Only once was he wounded and then slightly in the shoulder but he was twice taken prisoner each time being exchanged for a Federal prisoner, held on the Confederate side. When the war ended he returned to his native county and was elected as it's representative in the first legislature that followed. In after years he also served the county on the Board of Commissioners. In February 1867 he married Miss Susan E, Sugg, the widow and six children surviving him. They are Messrs. F.C. Harding, Greenville; W.F. Harding, and ???Harding of Charlotte; J.B. Harding of Mexico; Miss Beattie Harding of Greenville; and Mrs. H.T. Latham of Washington. He also leaves one brother Rev Nathaniel Harding of Washington. Major Harding moved to Greenville in 1865 and spent his remaining years here, where he was a most useful and honored citizen. He served As superintendent of public instruction of Pitt County for one term, was register of deeds for two years and for many years a justice of the peace. He delighted in reviving the memory of the Confederacy and for the last several years was commander of the Bryan Grimes Camp of Confederate Veterans, always taking active part in the annual reunions on the 10th of May. Major Harding was an active Mason, devoted to the principles of that ancient fraternity, was several times Worshipful Master of the Greenville Lodge and when Sharon Lodge was revived became the first Master of the lodge and held that position at the time of his death. He was also Senior Warden of the vestry of St. Paul's Episcopal Church and a lay rector of the church. He leaves his family and friends the priceless heritage of an honored name.
