Generation No. 2 2. MARY ANN2 MILLER (EMANUEL STUCKY1) was born October 26, 1858 in New Albany, Indiana, and died January 04, 1940 in Mt. Washington, KY Bullitt County. She married JOHN WESLEY "SHADY" HARRIS Abt. 1876, son of JOHN HARRIS and ELIZABETH TROUTMAN. Notes for MARY ANN MILLER: Obit: ( from the Bullitt County paper 1940) January 4, 1940 as dawn was breaking, Mrs. Mary Ann Miller Harris fell asleep quietly and sweetly as a child, after several weeks illness but no suffering. She clelebrated her eighty-first birthday the 26th of last October. Born in New Albany, Ind. she came to Kentucky with her parents when twelve or fourteen years of age, settling in Jefferson County between Jeffersontown and Fern Creek where she ahd a number of relatives: all the older generation have passed on leaving only one first cousin, Sherman Miller. At eighteen she married John W. Harris and came to his Bullitt County Farm on Floyd's Fork about three miles from Mt. Washington. She united with the Christian Church in childhood and was baptized in the Ohio River at night. There being no church of that faith in Mt. Washington, she became a member of the Methodist Church, loyal and devoted to its tenets through life. A little more than forty years ago they sold their farm and came to Mt. Washington to make their home. Here as on the farm their home was always open to young and old. When her husband passed on more than seventeen years ago, she continued the same hospitable open house, many who read this will recall happy hours spent in the home of this beloved couple. She remainded cherry and young in heart through all her more than eighty years, independently living to herself until the last weeks when her grand daughter Mrs. Ed Pound and Mr. Pound took her into their hearts and hom loving watching over her with the help of others in her closing days. Th last week Miss Birta Harris friend and cousin ministered to her every need. With no suffering, her only worries were weakness and fear of spoiling Christmas for her loved ones. Devoted to her church and family, funeral services were planned alonge lines that we felt would best have met with her approval. Funeral services were held at the McAfee Funeral Home, Saturday at 1:15 pm and at the Methodist Church at 1:30 with burial in the local cememtary. Her pastor, Rev. C.K. Dickey spoke briefly fro Romans 8 37 and paying tribute to her as he knew her. The choir sang "How Firam a Foundation" , Mrs. H. C. McGee by reqest very beautifully and tenderly sang, "I'll Wear a White Flower for You., Mother Dear, also by request, Mrs. McGee and J. E. Fisher rendered as a duet, "In the Land where We'll Never grow old" Her beloved physician and friend, Dr. G. B. Hill voluntarily attended her in these last rites as he had so faithfully cared for her in her illness. Six grandsons, Paxton and Frank Parrish, Harris, Maurice, R. Lee, and Wade McAfee were pallbearers; a grand daughter, Miss Lillian Dean McAfee, three great grandchildre, Miss Stuart Troutman, John and Allen Parrish carried the flowers. She is also survived by a stepson, Maurice A. Harris who was very young when she came to the home as his mother. On the death of her first born son he became as her own, and when left a widow she sought his advice on all financial and business matters. Her two daughters, Mrs. Lillian Parrish and Mrs. Mabel McAfee are left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother who felt no one could be quite as dear and interesting as her own. She taught her first grandchild to call her "Granny" . Soon it became a loving name for their young friends and in later years she was "Granny" to young and old alike, often getting mail addressed "Granny Harris". Ten grandchildren and ten great-grand children also survive. To them, Granny never grew old, always ready with joke for joke laughing with them, she never acquired the old age pessimism often noticeable in those much younger. She was the oldest active member in the Methodist Church and the oldest in age and service in the Missionary Society. More About MARY ANN MILLER: Fact 6: Mt.
