Dear Harris Researchers, Paul Tobler, a long-time Harris family researcher passed away on Thursday, July 24th after a long illness. He had contributed much concerning the early Harrises in Colonial Virginia as well as the Harrises of County Essex, England. It occurs to me that I do not know which line of Harrises Paul belongs to. I have searched on his web page and do not find the Harris connection. Maybe someone else knows. Normally we might not be posting funeral information, etc., but Paul contributed so very much to Harris Research, that his passing cannot be overlooked. We are thankful for all that Paul contributed to the Harris genealogy. Feel free to contact his widow, Dorothy Tobler, by e-mail at: tobler@omniglobal.net --Glenn Gohr (Harris-ColonialVA & Harris-UK-Essex List Manager) archives_guy@hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul & Dorothy Tobler" <tobler@omniglobal.net> To: Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 7:53 AM Subject: Paul Paul died last night at 10:35 PM.The last week he had been in excrutiating pain and then went into a coma about Tuesday.
