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.
