FRANKFORT — Mildred F. Harris, 93, or Frankfort, formerly of Franklin, died Oct. 29, 2009. The Clay native was born Nov. 25, 1915. She was a 1938 graduate of Western Kentucky State Teachers College, now Western Kentucky University, and taught many subjects, but most often English grammar and literature in the public schools of Webster and Simpson counties until her retirement in 1981. During World War II, her teaching was interrupted by three years’ service as a civilian inspector for the U.S. Army in an aircraft factory. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Franklin, where she taught Sunday School for more than 60 years and co-authored a history of the church. She also served in numerous church groups, including two pulpit committees and the state Executive Board of the Women’s Missionary Union. After retiring from teaching, she traveled widely and remained active as a volunteer at The Medical Center at Franklin and as a member of the Franklin Homemakers Club, the Retired Teachers of Simpson County and the Daughters of the American Revolution. She was a daughter of the late Andrew Jackson and Mamie Adams Fortenbery. She was preceded in death by her husband of 45 years, Pascal B. Harris. Funeral is at 1 p.m. Monday at First Baptist Church in Franklin, with graveside service at Greenlawn Cemetery to follow. Visitation begins at 10 a.m. at the church.
