Well, the rumors are true. They did done it. We got the living proof now. On Feb. 28, 1885, Evan Harris of Nephi was joined in Lawful Wedlock with Eliza Ann Hitesman, originally out of Moroni, of the Utah Territory were hitched. The beautiful cursive writing of the JP is beholding and it appears it is he-Henry Adams that filled in all the blanks, as he has the same pen maneuvers with his H and E's. Evan was best known in Nephi as Ev, and was born in Iowa City Iowa when his parents had joined the LDS Church in the country of Wales and directed to Juab and Sanpete by the headquarters in the city of Salt. As Decoration Day is around the corner, I can't help but think of the father of Evan, who was John Harris. He is not buried where his headstone is placed. Nephi's Vinebluff cemetery is not like Nephi City Cemetery, which has no roads through it. They started putting in asphalt, but then realized they would have to dig up the vault and casket of John Harris When the Sexton contacted the Harris family, they all agreed why let taxpayers pay for that, just move the headstone. That is what they did, and one day, my mother showed me the exact place under the asphalt road where the body was buried, so I get to leave one flower in the middle of the road on Decoration Day. I kind of figured that in the next life, there is flowers beyond belief, so give them flowers while they are still on earth. Thanks for getting hitched. I guess I wouldn't be here if you didn't.
