Sign found on the corner of U Ave and 10th street, near cemetery.

Bazel and Martha Harrison are buried in Harrison Cemetery south of this 
marker.  He led a party of 21 who were the first permanent settlers of Prairie 
Ronde Kalamazoo County, where they arrived on November 5, 1828.
One thousand people attended his funeral on September 1, 1874 because he was 
admired, esteemed, respected and loved by all who know him.
Martha Stillwell Harrison died on June 7, 1857.  As his wife of 67 years she 
shared all of his early hardships and later ease, successes and failures, joys 
and sorrows and was the mother of 17 children.
