HAMOR - HARRIS - Cranberry Isles, 1882

HARRIS  HAMOR

Mount Desert Herald
November 23, 1882

The remains of Harris Hamor, of Cranberry Isles, who died of fever at Bar Harbor, November 2nd,  were brought back home and interned last Saturday in the family burying ground.  Sad indeed to watch the team moving with funeral slowness from the shore with its burden.  That sombre looking box, enclosing all that was mortal of the bright and promising youth whose agile footsteps lately bounded over the paths through which he was now so solemnly borne.  A sorrowful coming home, contrasting most painfully with his visit a few weeks before, when he appeared so full of happy, hopeful life.
"They go forth from our door,
who shall return no more."
The Rev. B.F. Stinson, who has officicated at so many funerals here, delivered an affecting discourse from the very appropriate text, "Set thy house in order."
The deceased was about twenty-two years old, (not twenty-four as reported in the Herald).  So boyish and peaceful he looked in his last slumber, the words "Rest in Peace"  above the pulseless breast, seemed no idle sentiment.  Bereaved friends must mourn, but not as those without hope, for they cherish the comforting assurance that it is forever well with him who has passed onward a little while before.
