Lorenz Harrison, who had his skull fractured at Miles about six weeks ago, by falling from a platform at the Odd Fellows reception, died Saturday morning at 12:40 o’clock, at his home in Lyons. He leaves a widow and two little daughters. It will be remembered that Harrison was under the doctor’s care at Miles about three weeks before he could be brought home. He has been irrational since he was brought home and during one of these spells he got out of the house and caught cold, which turned into pneumonia. He was employed by the State Electric Company of Clinton, as motorman for the past seven years, where he has made many friends. Deceased was born and raised at Andrew, and was well known in this part of Jackson county. Years ago he played ball with the Maquoketa’s and became very popular with lovers of the game.
