(source unidentified)

Mrs. Mary E. Harp, wife of M. A. [Marion A.] Harp, and daughter of Mrs. Catherine Stockton, died at her home near Algood, on the 17th day of Aug., 1903, at the age of 29 years. She was a consistent member of the M. E. church, and was faithful to the end, and died in the triumph of a loving Savior. She left a husband, five children, the youngest an infant, a mother, brother and sisters to mourn her loss. She was loved and esteemed by all who knew her, and a multitude of people followed her remains to her last resting place. It will be remembered that just one year ago to day (17) her little daughter [Mirtie Clara Harp; stone says 18 Aug 1902] was drowned in Bear creek, and she has not seen a well day since; ere this she and the little daughter have joined hands in the great beyond.
