Harrison, Charles B. (page 513), a prominent farmer of Lake Township,
residing in section 6, was born in this township October 7, 1875, son of
Baker and Mary (Merrill) Harrison. He was trained to agricultural
pursuits. When starting in for himself he started on his father's farm,
which is his inheritance. At the time it came into his possession it
contained 80 acres, but he has increased its area to 120 by the purchase
of adjoining land. It is well provided with buildings, the residence being
a comfortable frame house. He has built a barn 30 by 68 feet, with a full
basement of eight feet for cattle, and a lean-to 16 by 28 for horses, the
barn being fitted up with steel stanchions and a Sharpless
milking-machine, and with running water in every stall. He has also
erected a silo of 125 tons capacity. Since 1902 Mr. Harrison has devoted
his chief attention to dairying, milking from 25 to 30 Guernsey grade
cows. He also breeds Guernsey cattle, and does enough general farming to
furnish food for his animals, feeding to them everything that he raises on
the farm, except what he and his family use. In this line of business he
has achieved good results, and is numbered among the prosperous citizens
of his township. He is a stockholder in the Lake City Co-operative
Creamery and is now its president. Mr. Harrison is a man of good
mechanical ability and erected all his own buildings. Politically he is a
Republican and has served as school director. He was reared in the faith
of the Methodist Episcopal church. It was on December 23, 1899, that he
assumed the responsibilities of domestic life, being united in marriage
with Minnie, daughter of Louis and Sabra Burg, of Mt. Pleasant Township,
who came to Wabasha County in the early sixties. Of this union two
children have been born: Claude, December 17, 1902, who is a student in
the Lake City high school, and Ruth, born May 31, 1906, who is attending
school. Mrs. Charles B. Harrison, who was born May 12, 1875, acquired her
education in the Lake City high school and the high school at Colfax,
Wash.
