Surnames: Randall Harmon Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/RRB.2ACE/6162 Message Board Post: Sarepta E. Harmon was the eldest child of Stephen and Angeline Randall. She was born in Sardinia April 18, 1850. She was married to E. A. Harmon of McKinstry Hollow Dec. 26, 1876 and resided at McKinstry Hollow until the death of her husband in 1914. Since then she has made her home with her sister, Mrs. A. R. Harmon of Machias of West Machias, spending a part of the time with her cousins at Allegany. A year ago the 27th of May she was taken sick at Allegany and the 25th of June her sister, Mrs. A. R. Harmon brought her home. Since that time she has been a great sufferer but a very patient one. About twenty-five years ago she with her husband joined the M. E. Church at McKinstry Hollow and she has lived a consistant Christian life. As the months went by after she was taken sick was taken sick, and it became evident that she was not going to recover, she settled up her earthly affairs, and waited patiently for the summons to come to call her to her heavenly home. She was of a genial and happy disposition and both friends and relatives have enjoyed the hours spent in her sick room when she was feeling able to visit with them. Her words of advice and council we will all remember, and although she has suffered untold agony during the past year she has left many pleasant memories that will be treasured by all who knew and loved her. Although she has left us we cannot wish her back for her sufferings are over and she is resting peaceably. She leaves to mourn her one son, Howard Harmon, and one grand child, Hattie S. Harmon of Perry, two sisters, Mrs. A. R. Harmon and Lucia L. Randall of West Machias, one brother, Dr. J. O. Randall of Silver Springs, besides many other relatives and friends. Her funeral was held from the home of A. R. Harmon on Wed. June 27th, 1917. Rev. Harrington of Machias officiating, with burial at McKinstry Hollow.
