Massena, June 13 -- Barnett J. Harriman, 92, well known farmer of the town of Louisville, died at his farm home on the St. Lawrence River Road about five miles west of Massena at 9:15 Tuesday morning.
Mr. Harriman, who had actively engaged in farming until about five years ago and had been in good health since then considering his advanced age, was not taken sick until last Sunday morning.
He was born December 27, 1842, in North Williamsburg, Ontario, a son of Nicholas and Pamelia Thompson Harriman. His parents were natives of Vermont but came to Ontario as pioneers. At the age of 19 years he came to the United States and worked in Syracuse for a few years and then bought the farm where he spent most of his life on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. He was married to Miss Jane Bailey. They lived on the farm and operated it, Mrs. Harriman dying August 19, 1919. After his wife's death he remained on the farm, retiring from active work only a few years ago.
Surviving are one son, George B. Harriman, Buffalo, and two grandchildren, Harold J. Nichols, who has lived with Mr. Harriman since a small boy and was brought up by him and who has operated the home farm. Mr. Harriman was the last of a family of eight children.
