E.B. Harris Buried with Military Honors.
  The funeral of E.B. Harris was held Sunday afternoon from the First Baptist Church at 
Pacific Grove.  Rev. E.B. Reed officiating.
  Mr. Harris as born in Boston Mass.  He had no relatives here so it fell to the generosity 
of his friends to defray expenses.  W. H. Smith proved a loyal friend by taking all 
responsibility on himself and through solicitation a goodly sum was realized.  We wish 
to express our many thanks to Mr. Underwood, who responded so nobly and also to 
all others who contributed.
  We also wish to thank the firing squad, composed of Corporal Baker, Musician Hixby, 
Privates Cook, Eilers, Prater, Thomas, McCall.  Culver land and Hadin, for their loyalty 
to this ex soldier.
E.B. Reed, Pastor, Baptist Church.
