HARRISON ************************************************************************ Submitted by Joan Benner, May 2005 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ From the Adams County Press, Saturday 11 March 1899 P5 Henriette A. HARRISON died at Bloomfield Nebraska, Sunday February 26th, 1899, from nervous prostration following an attack of la grippe and producing paralysis of the nerves of the bronchial tubes. Mrs. HARRISON was born in Friendship, Allegany county, New York, on the 12th day of November, 1835, and it was there that she lived and grew to womanhood. About 1855, she was married to Dr. James M. HARRISON and they made their home in Friendship in that county, until 1859, when they came to Wisconsin and settled in Friendship in Adams county. Soon after the breaking out of the War of the Rebellion Dr. HARRISON enlisted in the Fourth Regiment Wisconsin Volunteers; and went south, his family remaining in Friendship during his absence. About a year after the regiment went south his health failed and he was mustered out and discharged from military service. In 1864, having regained his health, Dr. HARRISON re-enlisted in Company K of the Thirty- eighth Wisconsin volunteers and continued in service until the close of the war. During all this time Mrs. HARRISON bore bravely and with patriotic devotion all the trials, fears and privations that fell to the lot of herself and little ones as the wife of a soldier absent from home and amid the dangers of war. Several years subsequent to the war the family lived at Easton, at which place the doctor practiced his profession. Then they came back to Friendship, where they remained until the death of Doctor HARRISON which occurred about seven years ago. After his death Mrs. HARRISON made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Alex. BLACK, at Marinette, Wisconsin and then went to Bloomfield, Nebraska, where she had a home with her oldest daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis G. CROSBY, at whose residence she died. Mrs. HARRISON left four sons and two daughters surviving her--Leon A. HARRISON of Tomah, Wisconsin, Russ HARRISON of Knoxville, Tennessee, Clarence and Scott of Bloomfield, Nebraska, and Mrs. Alex BLACK of Marinette, Wisconsin.
