Her youth was spent near Alton, where she was married to Marion Harp on November 3, 1874. They came to Decatur County from Indiana in 1880, the next year after the town of Lamoni was established, and settled in Davis City, where Mr. Harp was employed by S. V. Bailey in a sawmill for a number of years. Removing to Independence, Mo., in 1882, they followed the farming industry in that locality for a couple of years, but returned to Iowa in 1884, settling on a farm in the Evergreen neighborhood near Lamoni. They later bought the farm now occupied by Mode Sandage, which they sold and moved to town about 1920. Mr. Harp passed away in 1927, since which time Mrs. Harp had made her home with her son, Charles, and family. Deceased was the mother of five children: Charles E., Lamoni; William M., Wishram, Washington; Joseph B., Lamoni; Florence Pearl, who died at the age of 6 in 1893; Francis H., Lamoni. There survive also 18 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Mrs. Harp was the last surviving member of her father's family of eleven sons and daughters. Mrs. Harp was affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church in her youth, but was converted with 12 others of her faith to the belief of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and was baptized in 1878 by Elder Harbart Scott in Indiana. She remained faithful to her belief to the end. Mrs. Harp was a woman of quiet, unassuming disposition, who ministered patiently not only to the needs of her own family, but wherever sickness and suffering gave opportunity for loving service. Many a person was nursed through lingering illness in her home, and this service was always given uncomplainingly. Thus she merited the unceasing care and splendid nursing given her by her daughter-in-law during the declining years of her life. During her last illness, she was patient and appreciative of all that was done for her, often speaking to others of her fortunate surroundings. Mrs. Harp passed away Sunday, September 18. Funeral services were conducted from the White Home, Tuesday afternoon, in charge of Joseph Lane; sermon by T.J. Bell. Remains were laid to rest in Rose Hill. * MOTHER: Elizabeth Hall FATHER: Louis Lampkins HUSBAND: William "Marion" Harp m. 3 Nov 1874 Perry County, IN CHILDREN Charles Edward Harp William Marion Harp Joseph Bradford Harp Florence Pearl Harp Francis Howard Harp *OBITUARY SOURCES: 1.
