Harrison Nash

	Another pioneer resident of the county was Harrison Nash, for some forty years
a resident of the Northern part of this township.  He was born at Connersville,
Ind., 85 years ago, the first of last June.  He stopped at South Bend for a time
in his youth but when about twenty one years of age he come to this state and
settled a mile south of Stevensville.  About 1870 he sold his farm there and
bought the farm just east of Hinchman which has since been his home.  In those
days Mr. Nash was noted for his extraordinary strength and he did some very hard
work. When he got a little past middle age asthma troubled him greatly and he
has never since been able to do as much as at an earlier day.
	He was never married but his mother –as long as she lived—and a halfsister Miss
Sarah Guilson, have been his housekeepers.  The sister survives him.  A half
brother also survives him and has a family.  Harrison and Moses Newton of this
township are sons of his sister.  For three or four years Mr. Nash had been an
invalid and had seldom left his house.  His death may be traced, probably, to
age and feebleness with a cold that made his asthma worse.
	He was  buried Tuesday, Rev. Mr. Renner, Evangelical past, conducting the service.
