Mrs. F. H. Harrison (nee Mae Briggs) died recently at her home in Guthrie, Minnesota, in her twenty-first year. She is survived by her husband and a babe two days old at the time of her death and another child two and one-half years old. She was married to Mr. Harrison (who is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Harrison of this city) in September, 1903. The many friends of the young couple will be deeply grieved to learn of the untimely death of this estimable young woman.

Mrs. F. H. Harrison, nee Mae Briggs, who formerly lived in this city, died at her home in Guthrie, Minn., on Wednesday of last week. She leaves a husband and two small children, the eldest being two years old last April, and the youngest but two days old. Mrs. J. W. Harrison of this city was notified by telegram of her critical condition but found upon her arrival that she had passed away and that the funeral was held just before she arrived on Friday. Mrs. C. A. Briggs will probably take charge of the youngest child, while Mrs. Harrison will bring the elder child home with her. It will probably be some days before Mrs. Harrison returns. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison were married in Estherville about four years ago, and removed to Guthrie three years ago last February. Mr. Harrison is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Harrison of this city.
