Obituary: Iva Louise (Williams) Harris, 101, passed away peacefully in her sleep on 28, 2016 in a care facility in Boise, Idaho. Although we are sad to see her go, we are thankful she is with her loved ones in heaven and free of pain and concern. Iva was born 2, 1914 on a farm in an area west of Olathe, KS known as Camp Branch. She was the youngest of 8 children, the only one born in Kansas. (All the rest were born in Missouri.) She was the daughter of Amos Leronzo Williams of Asbury, WV and Fannie Elizabeth (Whitson) of Peculiar, MO. Her maternal grandmother, Mary Jane (Watson) Whitson, also lived in their home and was Iva's rock. In Iva's memories, her eldest sister, Lillie (Suddarth) was not in the home, as she was already married. Iva was an aunt by the age of 2. Iva's other siblings were: Marie, who never married; Kathryn (Patton); Fleeta, who never married; her brother Kermit; Ethel, who never married; and Hazel, who died in infancy. During her early school years, Iva attended several country one-room schools north of Olathe. She and her siblings had to walk as far as 3 1/2 miles one way, no matter the weather. In the winter, even though they clung to hot potatoes or heated rocks in their pockets, they still arrived at school so cold they never took their coats off. When they lived on "The Brick Farm" next to the railroad tracks a short distance from "The Poor Farm," they followed the tracks part of the way to school. Along the way, they would sometimes see coyotes, bobcats, or bums camping in the brush. even found Indian arrowheads that were unearthed when the tracks were laid. Their lunch buckets didn't hold much, sometimes only a sandwich made of bread and bacon grease. When the family had to move from "The Brick Farm" into town, Iva cried. She was always a country girl at heart. Iva attended school in town and had a hard time adjusting to her teachers at first. But, she came to love the town school and loved spelling and penmanship the best. (As adults, she and her husband would sometimes sit at the dining room table practicing their penmanship and comparing their work. Since Monty learned to write in Washington State, his penmanship was of a different style, but they both wrote beautifully.) Iva was able the make many friends at school that lasted a lifetime. Through the years, she wrote letters to her friends and even some of her former teachers. She kept cards that people sent to her and placed them in scrapbooks. One of her friends invited her to the First Baptist Church and that changed her life. The first time she went to School, everything sounds like Greek to her. The only time she had ever heard God's name was when her Dad was swearing. But she found out there is a loving Father in heaven who accepted her just as she was, even though their family was among the poorest in town. She attended that church through her teens and on through the war years of WWII. Poverty was no stranger to the Williams family. Iva often said that when the Depression hit, they barely felt it. There were no fancy dolls for Christmas.....there was only a can of hard candy for the entire family to share. Dresses and quilts were made from flour sacks, food was scarce, and everyone except Kermit shared a bed. Iva and her sister, Ethel, slept on either side of Grandma Whitson in a double bed. would put their cold feet in Grandma's lap and she would hold them until they warmed up. Illness and tragedy were familiar to the family, as well. In the late 1920's and early 1930's, a tuberculosis epidemic broke out. Almost every home in Olathe had a black wreath on the door, because someone had died of the terrible disease. Iva's sister, Marie, cared for sister Fleeta when she got it. Fleeta was engaged to be married, but succumbed to the disease. She was 21. Ethel was next and passed away at 19. By then, Marie had contracted the disease and was sent to the tuberculosis sanitorium in Norton, KS. Not long after that, Iva had symptoms and was sent there for 11 months during her senior year of high school. When it was time for Iva to return home, she begged to stay longer. She knew when she went home all the work of caring for her invalid mother and invalid grandmother would fall to her and she wanted to go back to school. But, she was sent home anyway. It would be several years before she could return to night school (in the 1950's) and earn her GED. Her friends felt so bad for her that they insisted she dress in her cap and gown anyway and have a picture taken. knew she would finish one day! In 1940, she met LaMonte Harris, formerly of Carnation, Washington when he came to church one day at the invitation of his employer. A year later, they were married in secret in the parlor of their pastor's boarding house in Olathe one night after church. It was 2 weeks before the news got out that they were married. were both 25 at the time. Iva still cared for her mother (Grandma had passed the year before) and worked part time jobs in Olathe - as a doctor's office receptionist, a variety store clerk and at the Johnson Clerk's office. When WWII broke out, her husband was drafted and was stationed at Ft. Leavenworth. lived there when their son, Paul, was born at the fort hospital in 1943. When Monty was shipped to Europe, Iva and Paul lived with her sister, "Kitty" and her husband Andy in Olathe. Iva saved her continued... |
