Since then he had made his home on his farm in Webster township. During his recent illness he had been cared for at the home of his niece, Mrs. Alice Thayer of Winterset.

He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Nancy Rudolph; three brothers, C. E. Harrison, Thomas Harrison and Frank Harrison; and other relatives.
