Harritt, a resident of Nuckolls county (sic) for 85 years and a former member of the Nebraska Legislature, were held Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock in the Klawitter Funeral Chapel. He died October 9 in a Hebron hospital. The Rev. Carl Zieman of Angus officiated and burial was made in the Nelson cemetery (sic). Robert Freeman Harritt was born March 12, 1872, in Miami County, Ohio, the fourth child of Joshua and Sarah Miller Harritt. He was brought to Nuckolls County, Nebr., at the age of five months and lived on the same homestead farm for 83 of his 88 years. He spent the last five years of his life in the Blue Valley Lutheran Home at Hebron, Nebr., and passed away Oct. 9 in the hospital at Hebron. Mr. Harritt was educated in the public schools and successfully passed the tests to become a teacher, which profession he followed for ten years. He outlived many of his pupils. He was also a farmer and active in that work until in the 1940's. In 1928 he was elected to the Nebraska State Legislature and served one term. He was united in marriage to Katy Belle Smith Sept. 2, 1896, and to them were born four children, Ralph of Nelson, Mrs. W.C. (Pearl) Noll, and Mrs. George M. (Pansy) Adams, both of Hastings, Nebr. A son Clarence preceded his parents in death, and the wife and mother died April 10, 1944. Other survivors are three grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. As a young boy Mr. Harritt became a Christian and joined the Pleasant View United Brethren Church. He served as Sunday school superintendent, Bible teacher, class leader, trustee and Church treasurer. He was also a delegate to the annual conference of his church a number of times, the last time in 1950. He supported the total program of his church with his means as well as his time and prayers. He was well liked by the staff and guests in the care home and enjoyed attending religious services there and in town as long as his health permitted. The Nelson Gazette, Thursday, October 13, 1960
