The exact death date was learned through a perpetual calendar.

(Note that the year of death is different in these obituaries, even though month and day are identical. Question: Are they the same person?)

(Of interest: A burial of James N. Harrison is recorded in the Herman Cemetery, the same name and initials as one of Mr. Harrison’s sons. Perhaps Mr. Harrison is buried in that lot and was not recorded.)

# 1 - Blair Courier, October 25, 1905

F. H. Harrison fell over dead last Saturday noon while eating his dinner at the home of his son, W. G. Harrison. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the house and was conducted by Rev. A. E. Marsh. Owing to his extreme age, 86 years, Mr. Harrison had not been out of his room for about twenty months previous to his death, but was comparatively well most of that time. He was born near Charleston, S.C., Sept. 25, 1819, and moved to Grayson county, Va. with his parents when a boy. They later moved to With county and he was married there. In 1858 they moved to Missouri where Mrs. Harrison died in 1864. In ’65 the family moved to Omaha and in ’70 they came to this county. Mr. Harrison lived on a farm south of town until 1883, since which time he has been living around with the children, W. G., Jim and Mrs. Thos. Dolan.
