OBITUARY ---------------MYRTLE HARRIS
San Mateo Times and Daily News Leader
September 23, 1933
Search Reveals Mother's Grave
A son, separated from his mother for twenty years, was informed in a letter sent from Coroner J. C. McGovernor's office today, that his mother lay buried in a Redwood City cemetery beside the man who murdered her and then killed himself.
He was Jack Duams, Fort Davis, Texas, son of Mrs. Myrtle Harris, 43, who was killed December 30 last by Justin Leroy Harris, her husband, in a Redwood City cottage, where he left her dead four days before commiting suicide in a San Francisco hotel.
Dumas said he was a son by a former marriage and that he understood his mother had met violent death but that he had learned no details.
"I have been separated from my mother for twenty years," he said, " and until reently have had no trace of her."
Dumas said that he had reently learned of her death through her brother, Otis McGinnis, Eureka Springs, Arkansas, whom authorities notified shortly after the tragedy.
After killing his wife, Harris brooded for four days in San Francisco, writing long confessions to a San Francisco newspaper o the murder and his career of crime, before sending a bulelt through his temple. Both were buried at public expenses, side by side, in Union cemetery, Redwood City.
