Friday September 2       Mrs. Sallie Hayter Harrison Is Buried

out "beyond the horizon", after an illness that resulted in more than ten

interment was in the Arlington cemetery, where her husband, J. B. Harrison
and small son, Donald, are buried.
     Mrs. Harrison was the youngest child of the late Rev. A. B. and Maria
Hayter, and was born on the Hayter farm, now owned by the Waggoner
interests.  She received her education in the Mansfield College, under the
late John Collier, and chose as her work one of the very few lines open to
women at that time-music.  She taught both piano and the stringed
instruments in Arlington for many years.
     After marrying Jones B. Harrison who was at that time in the hardware
business here, they moved to Afton, Oklahoma, where they lived for a number
of years, and then moved to Waxahachie, and finally to Dallas.  After her
husband's death she continued to make her home with her son, Charlie, until
less than a year ago when for her comfort she was put in a nursing home.
     Mrs. Harrison, wherever she lived was always active in the cultural
life of the community, her sweet, gentle radiance gained for her the love
and admiration of her associates.  The comment of some of the business men
of our town whose lives were touched by hers in their early years were "I
have never known such a sweet, lovely person as Miss Sallie Hayter."  Her
three boys were a joy to her throughout the years and their training and
education was of paramount importance to her.  She is survived by her three
sons, all of whom were here for the funeral.  Charlie of Dallas; Kenneth of
Big Springs and Shannon of Lafayette, La.
