The Annie Beth Abney Collection of Nathaniel E. Harris Research Files consists of photographs and correspondence gathered

active member for fifty years. Correspondence in the collection includes letters written by Governor Harris; Warren Roberts,
a fellow church member; and Governor Harris's son, Walter Harris. The subject matter of the letters centers on Harris's church
activities and personal family matters dated 1866 (copy) and 1957.
