Maudie Scott Harmon, daughter of James Scott and wife was born near Stones Crossing, Johnson county, Ind., Sept. 27, 1882. Died of consumption Dec. 6, 1905. Age 23 years, 3 months, and 9 days.
Her mother being summoned to come home when she was quite young, Maudie then after a short time made her home with her grandparents, James Harrell and wife. She was a bright young girl, gentle and reserved and helpful toward her grandparents.
At an early age she united with the Honey Creek United Brethren church, of which she was a faithful member. On March 31, 1901, she was united in marriage to Walter Harmon. They lived near the Glade church until about 3 years ago, when they moved to what is familiarly known as the Rush farm, just north of Rocklane, at which place they were living at the time of her death. During the revival meetings at the M.E. church last November, she with her husband placed their membership with said church. Her illness though long and painful was borne with marked patience and without murmuring. She gradually failed day by day, realizing she was failing told her loved ones she would never be any better and would soon go to meet mother and sister and be at rest with Jesus. She had made all necessary arrangements regarding her burial. For pall-bearers she selected Earl Whitton and wife, Perry Duncan and wife, Ora Halfaker and Pearl McClain.
She leaves a husband, father, brother, sister, and half-brother, besides other relatives and friends to mourn their loss.
