Published in the Geneva Daily Times on 20 March 1905.
"William P. Harmon died at his home, No. 136 William street, at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, aged 86 years. Mr. Harmon had been in failing health for some time and his death was not unexpected. He had been a resident of Geneva for twenty-three years, coming here from Seneca. The deceased was for many years the only survivor of eleven children born to Joel and Elizabeth Harmon. Mr. Harmon was born Nov. 28th, 1819 in the house which is still standing on the farm of Edward Burrell, in Seneca. After arriving at his majority the deceased spent more than twenty years as a teacher in the south. The outbreak of the rebellion found him at the head of a thriving academy at Ravenswood, W. Va. That village being a part of the disputed ground, the academy was closed and Mr. Harmon returned to New York state and joined the union army, enlisting as a private in Company D, 148th regiment, N. Y. Volunteers, in which he served until honorably discharged on account of disability, in December, 1864. This disability increased as he grew older until during the last years of his life he has been totally blind. After returning to the north in December of 1864, Mr. Harmon married Miss Priscilla Rippey and for seventeen years resided on a farm in Seneca when he removed to Geneva. Mr. Harmon was for many years a worthy member of the Presbyterian church of Seneca, and, at the time of his death, was a communicant of the North Presbyterian church of Geneva. He will long be remembered as a courteous gentleman and upright citizen and a devoted christian.
The deceased is survived by his widow and four children: Mrs. Mary C. Benedict of Williamsport, Pa., Miss Carrie R. Harmon of Geneva, Prof. Herbert W. Harmon of California, Pa., and Miss Cassandra R. Harmon of Geneva. The funeral will be held at the house on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Dr. N. B. Remick officiating. Interment will be at the No. 9 cemetery in Seneca."
