The Rustler-Herald, April 24, 1952
"NINA MAY HARRISON DIES IN SALINAS; TO BE BURIED HERE.

Nina May Harrison, lifelong resident in this community [King City] and member 
of a well-known family, passed away at 4 a.m. yesterday morning in a Salinas 
hospital.  She had been a patient there for more than 11 years while the 
progressive stages of arthritis caused her to become more helpless.

The funeral service for Miss Harrison will take place Saturday morning, at 10 
a.m., in Grim's Chapel.  The Reverend J. O. Richmond will officiate.  La Posa 
Chapter, O.E.S., will conduct its customary service for deceased members, at 
the chapel, and will act in honorary capacity at the committal service.

The late Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Harrison brought their family of May, Minnie, Fred 
and Wafford from Galva, Illinois, to Hollister to make a new home.  Here were 
born Nellie, Ada, Howard and Ralph Harrison.

A few years later the Harrisons moved to Hernandez to engage in farming.  They 
knew the place through visits made to their son Wafford, who was by that time a 
grade school teacher at Hernandez.

Their daughter Nina moved into town [King City] about 1890, following here her 
sister Minnie who had become Mrs. G. P. Henry.  Miss Harrison opened a dress 
and millinery shop on Broadway, between First and Second street and 
successfully conducted the business for several years.  Many a local matron 
remembers the fine dresses and hats created by the very pretty and gracious 
Miss Harrison who also was artistic.

After she retired from business she lived on Lynn street in a home she had 
purchased, and remained there until she went to Salinas.

Miss Harrison was a charter member of La Posa Chapter, O.E.S.

Nina Harrison is survived by her sisters Mrs. Arthur Cowell of Sonoma; Mrs. 
Leroy Harlan of Riverdale and brothers Ralph Harrison, Greenfield and Howard 
Harrison, Hernandez.
