J. M. HARRISON PASSES QUIETLY AT RANCH HOME
J. M. Harrison passed away at his ranch home north of Orland Monday morning at 6:30 as the result of old age and general debility. Mr. Harrison was one of the oldest pioneers of this section having lived in the vicinity of Orland for the past fifty years. He was a civil war veteran fighting on the side of the confederacy. He moved from his old home in Missouri shortly after the close of the war and has been a resident of the project since that time.
Mr. Harrison married in Missouri and three children were born to the union before moving to California. After the family settled here, three more children were born.
About fifteen years ago he moved from the old Hubbard Nelson ranch on which the family had lived for many years to a new ranch home north of the creek on which he has lived since that time.
The decedent was highly respected and honored by a large circle of friends who had held his friendship as an honor for many years.
J. M. Harrison was 79 years old at the time of his death. For some time he had been in ill health and the end was not entirely unexpected. He is survived by a widow, and six children, Mrs. Jim Graham and Mrs. Gus Utz, William, Albert, Walter and Charles Harrison.
Funeral services will be held at the old family home Thursday afternoon, interment taking place in the Odd Fellows Cemetery.
