Notes - Harrington - Samuel C. Harrington was born Aug. 24, 1842, in Waterloo Co., Ont.; died in Wakarusa, Elkhart Co., Ind., Feb. 4, 1906; aged 63 Y., 5 M., 11 D. He was a son of John C. and Mary Colosky Harrington, and one of thirteen children, seven of whom have preceded him to the eternal world. He leaves a sorrowing wife and daughter, one grandson, three brothers, two sisters and many friends to mourn his death. He was one of that unassuming, quiet class of men who move through the world attending to their own affairs in so kind and inoffensive a manner that harmony and good feeling always leave their impress on the mind, and in this way he continually gained the respect and friendship of those with whom he associated or did business. His friendship was warm and constant and always the same, and many can testify that he was indeed a friend in times of need. Even the dumb animals shared in the enjoyments of his general kindness and good nature. In his business dealings he was generous, as some would say, to a fault. In his religious views he was a Mennonite, though never formally identified with the church. During his last sickness from which he suffered about, a year, his prayers were indeed an inspiration to those who heard him. He confessed his weakness and shortcomings and said he had asked God to forgive him and had the assurance that his prayers were heard and he was not afraid to die. Funeral services were conducted at the Christian church in Wakarusa by John F. Funk of Elkhart, from John 14: 2, 3. He was buried in the cemetery at Goshen. May the Lord comfort the bereaved hearts and give them grace to obtain the blessed reward and meet again the loved ones gone before.
