The six brothers attended the funeral at Castile. Deceased leaves a widow who is a sister of Mr. Isaac Brooks, four son, Devillo W., M.D., Corydon, George and Arista, and one daughter, Mrs. Flora Higgins.  Mr. Harrington removed from Sherburne in 1845 and was most highly esteemed, both in the vicinity of his old home and that of his adoptive, for his many excellent qualities.  He was in the 63d year of his age.
