Abstract
This
biography
is
part
of a
collection
of
biographies
on the
Harris
family
, and
includes
a
biography
of
each
of
Charles
and
Louisa
Harris
'
children
written
by their
siblings
.
Ida's
biography
was
written
by her
older
brother
Silas
.
It
is
five
typewritten
pages
long
and
gives
a
brief
outline
of
Ida's
life
,
emphasizing
the
moves
that their
family
made
and
Ida's
calm
but
steadfast
character
.
Ida
and
Silas
were
clearly
close
siblings
;
Silas
begins
the
biographical
sketch
with this
sentence
: '
I
approach
with
tender
emotion
a
belated
portrayal
of her
beautiful
,
brief
sojourn
in
life's
moving
drama.
' He
describes
Ida
as
having
'
brown
hair
,
blue
eyes
, was of
average
height
, was
neither
plump
nor
thin
,
every
line
exactly
right.
' He also
praises
her
kind
demeanor
: 'There
is
one
thing
that
I
have been
wanting
to
say
from the
beginning
of this
story
.
I
don't
remember
a
word
of
quarrel
between
her and
me
, not with
Gene
or
mother
ever
. She
seemed
to have
passed
the
quiet
tenor
of her
way
in
peaceful
repose.
'
Silas
takes
the
details
of
Ida's
death
from a
detailed
document
that
Belle
dictated
to a
granddaughter
shortly
before
her
own
death
.
Belle
explained
that
Ida
'was
very
unhappy
and
grieved
because
she had
brought
that
trouble
there.
'
Ida
became
worse
and
worse
.
One
day
,
Belle
was
walking
in the
street
to
fetch
a
doctor
when
she
received
the
impression
, '
Ida
will
die
and
you
must
have her
sealed
to
Brother
Nelson
[Belle's
husband].
'
Belle
did
not
like
the
idea
of
sisters
marrying
the
same
man
, and she was
very
troubled
over
this
communication
.
Finally
, she
realized
that
Ida
was
lingering
because
she had not
acted
on this
impression
. She
told
Ida
and her
husband
about
it
, and they
agreed
to the
marriage
.
Ida
died
that
afternoon
and was
buried
in
Belle's
wedding
dress
.
