This appendix consists of the thirteen pages of news clippings that were pasted on the backs of the pages of her memoir. They have been scanned, and most have been transcribed. A short description of the types of articles that are included on each page is outlined below. Each page has can be viewed in a full size version or a double size version of the image. It is not clear who was responsible for the creation of this appendix. Because some of the articles that are included are her obituaries, obviously written after Harris' death, it is presumed that the appendix was completed by a family member, perhaps her daughter, Mattie Lousie.
