Spouse: Cora Lynch
Father: William Massengale
Mother: Abigail C. Randall Massengale
Mo. Death Certificate #8438/States he is buried in a Mound City Cemetery/could be in Old Mound City Cemetery/No marker found in either cemetery.

Harrison Massengale was born at Burlington Jct., Mo., on the 22nd day of November, 1859. This was his home until about his 25th year, when he came to Holt County. He has lived in the county ever since, having engaged in farming for some years between Mound City and Craig.

All of his active years were spent on the farm, where he was known as a hard worker, good citizen, and neighbor.

He was united in marriage to Cora Lynch at St. Joseph, Mo., on the 4th day of May, 1911. Two children came to bless the union, James Alfred, now in this 10th year, and Revo Rosetta, whose age is seven.

Mr. Massengale worked industriously as long as his health would permit. Two years ago his physical condition rendered further labor an impossibility. For all this time, though not confined continuously to his bed, he has been an invalid suffering greatly. It was a losing fight from the very beginning. He gradually grew weaker until Thursday afternoon, March 16, when, with much suffering, he breathed his last at 4:45, and passed into the great beyond. His death has come as a great release, and surely is for the best.

Beside the children and the wife and mother, Mrs. Cora Massengale, he leaves on brother, J.A. Massengale, of Sasakwa, Okla., and two sisters, Mrs. Iva Puett of Falls City, Neb., and Mrs. J.S. Carmichael, of Lincoln, Neb.

Funeral services were held at the home in Mound City on Saturday morning, March 18, and were in charge of Ernest Molloy, pastor of the Christian Church.
Burial was in the Mound City Cemetery.
