Harris,
Thomas L.,
5-22-1942
“Thomas
Lafayette Harris, 92, pioneer of the Four Lakes country 16 miles southwest
of Spokane and Cheney, but for many years past residing in Spokane, died
Sunday night, May 17. The
only surviving one of his six sons, Thomas, accompanied by his wife had
spent a part of Sunday visiting his parents, and had only just returned to
their home at Wenatchee when word came that his father had died sometime
during Sunday night. In passing through Harrington on their way back to
Spokane
Monday forenoon, ‘Tom’ stopped here a few minutes and stepped into the
Citizen office, asking: ‘Do you know where I can find ‘Herm’
Bassett?’ Although 55 years
had elapsed since we had seen Tom, his face still bore the Harris stamp,
and the answer to his question stood before him. The passing of ‘Lafe’
Harris, possibly removes to the Great Beyond next to the last pioneer
barring two or three who lived concurrently with this editor’s parents
‘down on the farm’. Mrs.
Harris, Lafe’s wife, and Dr Wells of Cheney, and Mrs. Lizzie Haldeman
Forker (
Pullman) are still remnants of those days who survive. There still remains,
however, many an ear in the
Inland Empire
, that has listened to the strains of Lafe Harris’ tuneful violin—the
first musical instrument this writer, as a small boy, ever heard. A pang
of sadness grips the heart at losing Dear Old Lafe. Though never rich in
worldly goods, as was the lot of many of the pioneers who braved the
hardships and reared large families in the Inland Empire, he was a gold
mine of music to his friends when he would tune up that grand old violin,
with the finely carved lion’s head as the scroll at the end of the
strings and peg box and tightened up the bow. He could play all night and
never repeat a tune. Once he heard a new tune it was recorded in his brain
as accurately as though it had been transferred to a phonograph record. In
his younger days his services were in demand far and wide as a ballroom
musician. We attribute his longevity to plenty of substantial food without
the gewgaws of fancy pastry, to music which drove out time for worry, and
the fathering of a family of ten children, one son Thomas and three
daughters of them surviving. His wife, Eunice, now 88, also survives him.
We shall never forget the strains of the ‘Twenty-third
Infantry’ march which he always played as grand marches at those early
day grand balls. No other march to us is so stirring, so individualistic,
and so fine to put pep into a march step.” (Citizen: 5-22-1942)

Hayes of

week, gathering up some of the possessions of his son, Dr
W. J. Hayes, who was killed in a mine accident recently. While here
he explained the cause of his son’s death. It seems that ‘Doc’ was
just going on shift in the mine and he and a companion were approaching
the cage. ‘I guess its full and we will have to wait for the next
trip,’ he said; One of the men on the cage replied, ‘No, there is room
enough for one more. Come on.’ Doc
said, ‘all right,’ and as he leaped for the cage he pulled the signal
rope. Like a flash the cage began dropping and caught Doc in a small space
between the shaft wall and the cage. He was carried 40 feet before the
cage was stopped. He was taken out and brought to the hospital. ‘My son
did not lose consciousness,’ said Mr. Hayes, ‘but the bones of his
pelvis were terribly crushed. He joked with the fellows, said he wasn’t
hurt much and would soon be back with them, but he died two hours later.
Evidently the nerves of his body were too badly paralyzed for him to feel
anything.” (Citizen:
