Harriet was a longtime member of the Fairchance Presbyterian Church.
When the federal census enumeration was made in 1940, she was counted in the Chisnell residence, and had no occupation.
For the last four-to-five years of her life, Harriet suffered from hardening of the arteries of the heart. She passed away at the age of 79 on May 7, 1945 at the Chisnell home at 5 Sandy Creek Road in Wilkinsburg near Pittsburgh.
Her remains were returned to Fayette County for burial beside her parents at the Hopwood Cemetery.
