The Telegraph brought us news, a few days since, which has cast a shadow of gloom over our little community. Miss Harriet Elizabeth Harvey, daughter of C.T. Harvey, of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], left home to visit friends in Whitewater, Wisconsin, where she had just arrived, when she was attacked with diphtheria. Only one day's notice of her illness preceded that of her death. Mr. and Mrs. H. started immediately on receiving news of her illness, but the sad tidings of her death met them at Buffalo. Mrs. H. returned, but Mr. H. proceeded on his sorrowful journey, and returned with the remains of his beloved daughter on Saturday evening last. The funeral services were attended today by a large concourse of deeply sympathizing friends. Seldom have the sympathies of our community been more deeply altered. The deceased whose age was 26 years was a model of physical health and vigor and we find it difficult to associate her with our idea of death, or to realize that she is gone from among us forever. Her uniform cheerfulness and kindly qualities of heart endeared her to all who knew her well, and it will be long before "Libbie Harvey" will be forgotten among us. On the last occasion of the visit of the Bishop of the Diocese to our Parish, she was confirmed as a member of Christ's Church. She took an active interest in the Sunday School of that Church, and her class followed her to the grave as mourners. Her death occurred on Monday, Nov. 23d, at the residence of her cousin, Dr. Littlejohn, of Whitewater, Wisconsin. [Chenango Telegraph, Nov. 1863]
