Ionia Daily Sentinel Standard,  1 Dec 1926

Muir – The remains of Mrs. William Harrison, who died at Tucson, Ariz. Thursday
of last week, arrived at Muir Monday evening, in charge of Mr. Harrison, his six
year-old daughter, Betty, and Mrs. J.D. Strachan, who made the journey to Tucson
and back with only a short rest at the western end of the journey.  At Chicago
they were joined by Miss Anna Harrison, a sister of Mr. Harrison.  Another
sister, Mrs. Bonebreak, of Washington, D.C., and William Strachan, of Grand
Rapids, were also at the funeral, which was held at the former Strachan home,
where the deceased was born, Tuesday afternoon, the house having been graciously
opened for the reception of the funeral party upon its arrival by the present
owners, Mr. and Mrs. George A. Johnston.  Mrs. Harrison was a member of the
Presbyterian church, and the funeral services were in charge of the pastor, Rev.
W.K. Spencer, assisted by Rev. Johnston in a few appropriate words and prayer. 
Mrs. George Strachan, of Lyons, sang two selections.  Burial was made in the
family lot in Oakwood cemetery.  Otto W. Strachan, of Washington, D.C.,
misinterpreted the notice of his sister’s funeral, and was unable to be present.
 Mr. Harrison will return to Tucson at once to look after the store business
which he has been conducting since he went west for benefit of his wife’s health
three years ago.  His little daughter will remain with her grandparents here for
the present.
