Sergeant Orren Harris, son of Jencks and Rachel Harris, was born in Smithfield, R.I., Sept. 26, 1809. He lived on his father's farm until he became of age when he went to Providence and was clerk for the hotel known as the American House, on North Main Street, for a number of years. During the gold fever of 1849 he went to California and labored as a miner for four or five years. Returning home he assumed the management of the old Hoyle Hotel. After his return from the war he resumed work at that ancient landmark as bartender for Palmer Dorrance and his successor, Ezra Wells. He was struck by a train of cars while walking on the tracks between Pawtucket and Providence, and instantly killed in January, 1879. He had married Sophie O., daughter of Daniel and Mary Mathewson, of Johnston, by whom he had two sons, Rollin Mathewson and Daniel Jencks.
