Harwar, pictured here late in life, also went by the names Haraway and Harriet. It is unclear which was her given name. Her obituary in the Bloomington Telephone, July 28, 1899: "DIED AGED 94, And Lived to see a Great-great-grandchild! Mrs. Harriet Rice died Tuesday, six miles west of Bloomington at Dow Filler's, whose wife was the granddaughter of the deceased, and with whom she had lived many years. Mrs. Rice was a native of Virginia and emigrated to Kentucky. She was born Sept. 21st, 1805; was married to Robert Rice in 1825; moved to Indiana in the spring of 1826, and settled in Monroe county, where she lived until her death. To Mr. and Mrs. Rice were born 11 children – 7 sons and 4 daughters, 6 of whom are living to mourn her departure. She had 43 grand children and 93 great grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She would have been 94 years old Sept. 21st. Mrs. Rice was a member of the Christian church for 70 years. The funeral services were held at Garrison's chapel in charge of Rev. F.A. Eller and Rev. P.F. Breeden. She was buried beside her husband in the Rice cemetery, 7 miles west of Bloomington. Mrs. Rice was loved by all who knew her and there was a very large attendance of relatives and friends at her funeral."
Robert and Harwar are buried at the Garrison Chapel Cemetery (formerly known as the Rice Cemetery) at the southwest corner of Garrison Chapel Road and Rice Road.
