W. Harrison was born in Humbolt County, Indiana, December 13, 1842. Died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sadie Haymaker, Vinton, Iowa, June 13, 1924. Aged 81 years, 6 months and 28 days. January 1, 1862, she was married to J. W. Harrison to whom were born five sons and five daughters. In early girlhood she came to Iowa with her parents. Immediately following her marriage, she with her husband located on a farm in Taylor township, Benton County, Iowa, where she reared her family and lived until about six years ago. She underwent the hardships and experiences of the early settlers but all the time made her life tell favorably as one of the early pioneers. In early womanhood, she professed faith in Jesus Christ and united with the Methodist church, retaining her loyalty to Christ, and the church until the day of her passing. Those who knew her best will remember her activity in church work. She was ready and anxious to depart and be with the loved ones once gone before. As a wife, mother, neighbor, and Christian she had but few her equal. Four children preceded the mother in death. She is survived by six children as follows: Mrs. Lizzie Washburn of Waterloo; Mrs. Sarah Haymaker of Vinton; Mrs. Gladys Collicott of Chicago; James and William Harrison, farmers near Vinton, and Mrs. Hugh Caldwell, Vinton. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. F. Cronk at the Primmer church northeast of Vinton, some seven miles, Thursday afternoon, and laid to rest in the Cox cemetery along side of other members of the family awaiting the final resurrection.
