    THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , JANUARY 11 , 1907
Death of J. D. Harrison ,
J. D. Harrison sr. . a pioneer
citizen of soiitlica-storn part
of the state and father of the
Harrison brothers of this iit\ ,
passed away at Ins home at 111
West Tenth street last evening
stt 7 o'clock. The funeral will
take place from the residence to
morrow afternoon at 2 o'cloik.
Kov. Mr. Wright of the Trinity
M. 1C. church officiating. Tlic
deceased was 70 years of a jc.
In his last hours Mr. Harrison
was surrounded by all but one of
his family of seven sons and four
daughters the absent one arriv
ing a few minutes after the end.
He had been fatally ill with
heart disease and dropsy for some
lime , and his death had been
momentarily expected for more
than twenty-four hoursHis
wife survives him.
Mr. Harrison came from a
sturdy family of seven sons , and
curiously enough leaves seven
strong sons to mourn his death.
He was born on the shores of
Oneida lake , in New York , 70
3'ears ago. When a boy he re
moved to Grundy county , Ills.
He came from a family of car
penters and machinists and was
a millwright and builder. He
married Miss Hosanna Pattison
of the well known family having
branches in Ohio and Pennsyl
vania. She was a cousin to gov
ernors of that name in both of
( he states.
Mr. Harrison came to Kichard-
son county , Nebraska , in 18f > ( > .
lie engaged in farming and mill
building , and many of the early
grist mills along the Nemaha
river were erected by him. His
home was between Falls City
and Kulo until 1872 , when he re-
inovcd to Pawnee county. There
he remained until a few years
ago , when he retired from active
work and came to this city to be
near his children.
The annual Christmas reunion
of the Harrison family has been
one of the most remarkable af
fairs of the kind ever held in Ne
braska. It has been the custom
for years to gather at the home
of W. H. Harrison for a holiday
festival. As none of the mem
bers of the family lived farther
a.way than Krnnk A. Harrison ,
who was always to be found in
the eastern end of the state , it
was possible to gather the entire
family circle on almost all occa
sions. The seven sons , all living
in robust health , are W. II. and
J. D. Harrison and Grand Island ,
F. A. Harrison of Beatrice , Chas.
1C. Harrison of Miller , T. J. Harrison
risen of Julesberg , J. II. and
.Elliott Harrison of Cairo. The
daughters are Mrs. J. L. Smith
of Mason City , Mrs. A. L , Hcy-
wood and Misses Kugenia and
Carrie Harrison of this city. Two
children are dead.
A feature of the family life
that added to the pleasure of
these meetings was the almost
inextricable confusion of relation
ships brought on by the marriage
of Harrisons to people who were
already connected in some way
by marriage with the Harrison
group. It is considered a rein -
in ark able family for many reasons -
ons , and it is easy to see how all
have been saddened by this break
in the circle after all had gath
ered for the usual Christmas re
union.
Mr. Harrison is spoken of in
the highest terms by all who
knew him. He was a man of
rugged character as well as
physique , just the kind of a man
who was needed in the early
days to subdue the wilderness
and to help plant the society
that makes possible families like
the one that stood around hi ;
bedside when his long and useful
lite came to an end.
At the funeral , in accordance
with the old Scotch custom , his
seven sons will act as the pal
bearers. Grand Island Inde

Scotchie and Yankee Bill. We
ire seated around the stove ,
spininng horse yarns. Tom had
the best collection , for he had
fooled with horses Ion ger than
the rest of us had.
"I remember one experience I
had one year when the state
militia was encamped down at
coast. General was in com
mand , and 1 had secured the con
tract to furnish horses tor the
regiment. The general came to
me and said that he wanted
cvery-thing to go right , especial
ly when the boys were on parade
and that he would turn the horses
over to me and expect me to
keep tilings going smooth. Well
that was all right ; so I got 1113 *
men and assumed chrge of the
stable.
"Some of the horses were mine
and some were rented. They
were all gentle except one big
sorrel hor.se that we called Yan
kee Bill. He was raw-boned and
white eyed , and was said to be a
buckcr if things didn't go his way.
I didn't want to turn him over tea
a soldier till I had tried him out ;
so one morning early I had him
saddled up. With me , working as
groom , was a young Scotchman
ust over from the bonnie home-
ami. He was short , chunkybow-
eggcd seriously minded fellow an
when he talked you could see the
broom waving and smell the hea
ther.
"I had fitted him out in a pair
of overhalls and a jumper. He
had complained , that the overalls
were too tight , and they did fit
him like a bathing suit , but I
told him they were just the thing
for riding , because they wouldn't
be rolling up his legs.
"Well as I said , I had Yankee
Bill saddled up , and asked who
wanted to ride him. Scotchie
spoke up. 'I'll ride um' . So up
I he got. and we turned Yankee
Bill loose.
"As soon as we let him go he

went straight up into the air and
came down head first. The
second pitch , Scotchie kept go
ing when the horse came down ,
and when he landed he did so
sitting down with his legs straight
out in front of him. The meet
ing between scorchie and the
ground was too much for his
pants , however , and both legs
split from the hips to the knees.
I was standing there laughing
myself black in the face. Scot
chie looked up at me and without
cracking a smile , said , 'Tom , 1
told you those pants was too
tight. ' "

Soft Corn.
Corn buyers at Reserve , as well
as elsewhere , in the country , are
having trouble with soft corn.
A load of ear corn which looks
all right may have a sufficient
number of soft ears to ruin the
sale of it , the result of replanting
the missing hill. Then there is
some bottom corn replanted of
course that is generally soft , and
will not grade at all , only as
rejected , and worth only what
every feeder will give for it to be
fed out in warm weather. Hia
