Where are Mother and Brother?
Any information leading to the where-
abouts [whereabouts] of Mrs. Mahaley Harris and
daughter, Celia Harris, or Burr Harris,
will be gratefully received by Ross A.
Harris, of Rixford, Pa., McKean County.
Mr. Harris thinks they were separated
at Wilmington, N. C., during the war.
He thinks he was born in Richmond,
Va., and he and his brother were raised
in Wilmington, N. C., by a German, H.
B. Illis. His twin brother, Burr Harris,
was sent away with a son of Illis to the
war and has not been heard of since.
He thinks his mother’s name was Ma-
haley [Mahaley] and his sister’s Celia Harris.
