Chenango Telegraph, Norwich, NY, July 20,  1836

Death

In New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY] on the 14th inst. Mrs. Maria Harris, wife of john Harris, Esq. late of Plymouth [Chenango Co. NY] aged 38 years.

The circumstances which caused and attended the death above recorded were peculiarly afflicting.  On the 4th of July, a son of Mr. Harris, aged 12 years, was drowned in the Unadilla River.  The annunciation of this event to the family produced a shock to the mind of Mrs. Harris from which she never recovered.  Search was immediately made for the body and continued during the afternoon and night, but it was not until the afternoon of the 5th that it was found.  Mrs. Harris became deranged, her mind was destroyed, and in ten days from the melancholy occurrence on the 4th, she was no more!  Thus perished a fine boy, and thus perished an excellent and amiable woman.  To the surviving members of the family these were cases of the severest trials and affliction.  We have never known the sympathies of the public more general and deep seated than on these occasions.
