The city of Harker Heights held a virtual Memorial Day remembrance ceremony Monday in honor of all military men and women who lost their lives in the line of duty.
After posting of the colors by Harker Heights police and firefighters, a rousing performance of âThe Star-Spangled Bannerâ by Christian Wigley, a Harker Heights High School choir student, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 1000 Chaplain William Lewis was tasked with delivering the opening prayer Monday.
âI want to bless the loved ones that are out here that have lost loved ones,â Lewis said. âAs I look out at the gathering today, I see faces of frowns, I just ask, Lord, that you put a smile on their faces, as they lost loved ones but they paid the ultimate sacrifice for the United States of America. Some gave, and some gave all.â
Ariss was born in Cople Parish, Westmoreland County, about 1729, the youngest of five children of John Ariss and Frances Spencer Ariss. His mother was the granddaughter of Nicholas Spencer, a member of the governor’s Council in the 1680s and a sizable landowner in the parish. Within the space of two months in the winter of 1730, one sibling whose sex is unknown died and the already-widowed father drowned. John Footman became the guardian of the two boys and two girls who had been orphaned and of their considerable estate, valued at more than £350. At Footman’s death in 1739, Wharton Ransdall assumed the guardianship of the three younger children. In November 1743 Ariss chose his older brother Spencer Ariss as his guardian. He was probably apprenticed to a local carpenter from whom he could learn the intricacies of the building process and gain practical experience in the use of tools and techniques practiced by builders.
