"ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER GONE.
"Died, in Madison county, Ala., Jan.
23d, 1833, Capt. RICHARD HARRIS. The deceased was
born in Powhatan county, Va., on the 20th November, 1758.
When but a youth, at the age of 17, he entered the army, and
with that veteran band of soldiers, fighting for liberty and
truth, devoted himself to his country's interests till the close
of the war. He was an eye-witness of the surrender of Lord
Cornwallis at Little York. After having shared with his
country men the hardships of war, he returned to his home and
friends to enjoy that glorious boon, liberty, for which
he had so earnestly contended.
"Soon after the war, he devoted himself to the service
of God and the good of his fellow men. He professed
religion in Powhatan county, Va., and soon after united himself
with the M. E. church, where he remained, for more than half
a century, a consistent, useful, and much loved member.
- Hospitable, kind, generous, you had only to look upon his noble face to
behold all those commanding and ennobling virtues which adorn
human nature. He removed from Virginia to Madison county,
Ala., in 1809, and resided near Blue Spring till the day of his
death. We do not say he was without fault, but we do say
that few men have lived as long as he did with as few censurers
and with as few enemies. He closed his earthly warfare as
he closed the revolutionary war, in triumph and glory. He
has left many friends to mourn his loss."
