1850 LINCOLN COUNTY, KENTUCKY Craig Gaines, age 30, born KY Solon, age 24, born KY William, age 19, born KY Elizabeth, age 21 Lucy Jane, age 15 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LINCOLN COUNTY, KENTUCKY MARRIAGES Miss Lucy Jane Craig married Henry L. Harris 22 October 1857 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE INTERIOR JOURNAL, STANFORD, KY., FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1916 Page 1 NOBLE WOMAN PASSES AWAY Mrs. Jane Craig Harris Was Last Of Family Of 13, And Member Of Prominent Family. The remains of Mrs. Jane Craig Harris, who died at her home, 337 N. 24th street, Louisville Monday evening at eight o'clock, were brought to Stanford and interred in Buffalo Springs Cemetery Thursday morning after short services at the grave conducted by Mr. J. C. McClary. Mrs. Harris was in her 79th year, having been born in Lincoln county in 1837. She was the widow of the late Henry T. Harris, a prominent attorney of the Stanford bar in his day, and was a member of one of the most prominent families in this part of Kentucky. They were married in 1858. She was the youngest of a family of 13 children, all of whom preceded her to the grave. Her mind retained its brightness to the end and her faith and courage wavered not for a moment. She died as she had lived believing that "God is love and nothing else." She was a Godly woman, one "who knew the Lord," therefore she was one who believed God. Her life was radiant with Chrisitan virtues and it can be said that she "adorned the doctrine of God our Savior," walking before Him with a perfect heart, "she was a living epistle known and read of all." Her friends mourn their loss and rejoice in her victory that today she is with her Savior. Mrs. Harris is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Margaret Lord, of Middlesboro, and Mrs. Bessie Saunders, of Louisville; also two grand-daughters, Mrs. W. S. Douglas, of Middlesboro, and Mrs. F. A. Kersting, of Louisville. (Kentuckiana Digital Library) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucy, her husband and her brothers Gaines, Solon, and William, and her daughter are all buried together.
