BALZORA A. HARRISON Mrs. Balzora A. Harrison, nee Kesterson, was born in Tennessee, March 10th, 1840, and died at the home of her daughter, Nolie, in Pine Bluff, Ark., June 26th, 1914. She was married to the late Jesse Harrison Nov. 15, 1860, to which union eight children were born, four sons and four daughters, all of whom survive her except a little girl who died in infancy. At the early age of seventeen years she professed a hope in Christ, joined the Methodist Church and lived a devoted Christian life till God, in his goodness and mercy called her from this world of sorrow to the glory world above the skies. In all the relations of life she was ever faithful. In public life through a long period of her active years, she numbered her friends and acquaintances by the hundreds. She was among the first settlers of the country and helped to build it's churches and schools. She has been in feeble health for some months, due to the infirmity of age and the cares of life, and had said that she did not expect to live through this year. In her last illness she was sure that the end was near and talked as calmly and deliberately about her departure as though she was going on a pleasure trip, made all the necessary arrangements about her funeral, who should conduct it and the songs to be sung. Death must come to all. The prattling of innocent babyhood cannot stay the approach of the monster. The rosy cheek of youth turns white and the heart ceases to beat at this command. Old age complacently smiles and falls asleep in it's icy arms.The funeral was conducted by Rev. James Thomas and W.C. Watson of Pine Bluff, and she was laid to rest beside her husband in the Rison cemetery. Her grave was covered with flowers. There in the silent city of the dead, her body awaits the summons from on high, when the dead shall hear His voice and come forth from their graves to meet him in the skies. May all the sons and daughters so live as to meet Mother in that city which hath foundations whose builder and maker is God. Watt Harlow (written at the special request of deceased)
