William HARRISON
Obituary
Death of an Old Resident
William Harrison died at his residence on Victoria street on Friday. He was a native of Hull, England, and emigrated to Canada with his parents in his twelth year. They settled on the old homestead just outside the corporation of Milton and he lived there until ten years ago, when he retired from farming and moved into the town with Mrs. Harrison, who died some years ago. Notwithstanding his great age, 86 years, Mr. Harrison was remarkably active until a short time ago. Three sons and five daughters survive him, J. E Harrison, V.S. of Burlington, Iowa; Dr. Wm. Harrison, of Brantford; D.M.Harrison, of Trafalgar; Mrs. F Colling, of Toranto; Mrs. J. Bastedo, of Brandon, Man.;Mrs. Bogue, of Moosejaw, N.W.T.; Mrs. Nelson, of Winnipeg, and Mrs. G.R. Appleby, of Milton. Three younger brothers also survive him, Johnson, Chas., and Jas. Harrison, all of Milton. Mr. Harrison was a live log and consistent member of the Methodist church, and a leading worker in the congregation here and was greatly respected. He was a Liberal in polittics. The funeral took place on Tusday. The following resolution of condolence was presented to the family by the trustee board of the Methodist church:
To the Children and Relatives of the late William Harrison.- By a unanimous resolution of the trustee board of the Methodist church this morning, we were instructed to convey to you their sincere sympathy in the sad bereavement you now suffer and to express also our deep feeling of the loss sustained by the church of a member so amiable, faithful and consistent as our late brother William Harrison.
The following is a copy of the resolution passed by the trustees of the Methodist church, Milton December 23rd, 1895: Moved by J.S Deacon, seconded by Thomas Henderson, and unanimously resolved, - That we deeply regret to learn of the death of our latebeloved brother, William Harrison, who has been for so many years, a highly respected and useful member of the Methodist church in Milton and also an active and zealous member of the trustee board since its organization, until his resent resignation. We desire to convey to his children and relatives our sincere sympathy in their bereavement and to assure them of the great loss we suffer as a church in the removal of one of our members, who for so many years has been so regular in his attendance at the means of grace and so liberal, unassuming and lovable in character and disposition. While we mourn with you, we feel we have reason to rejoice with you that your beloved father and relatives has passed to his eternal reward to meet those who had gone before and to await the gathering of his family and friends in the heavenly home above. Signed of behalf of the trustee board, J.S.Deacon, J.M. Bastedo, Rev. Geo. A. Mitchell, Pastor. Dec. 23rd, 1895.

Hannah Hessey HARRISON
Obituary
MRS. HARRISON
Hannah Hessey was born in Yorkshire, England, October 4th, 1822. In 1840 she was united in marriage to Mr. Wm. Harrison, who hale and strong, in his eighty-third year, weeps not without hope, but rejoicing in the delightful prospect of a glorious reunion. Last January nearly all their family returned home for the celebration of their parents' golden wedding, little thinking that they were so soon to be divided by death.
Sister Harrison dated her conversation to God to the year 1856, when under the ministry of the Rev. James Caswell, she was lead to seek the Saviour, at the Mountain church, Nelson. She loved the word of God and was for many years a constant and prayerful reader of the CHRISTIAN GUARDIAN. This is especially true of her later years, during which she had been unable to attend the public means of grace. The grace of God has done very much in maturing the Christian graces in Sister Harrison. She was gentle, yet firm; quiet, yet decided; sympathetic, yet judicial; lovingly tender, yet faithful and true. Her life was one of self-sacrifice in the interests of her devoted family. Their temporal and spiritual well being was her deepest concern. Referring to 1 Corinthians xv.6. (latter clause), the text from which her funeral sermon was preached, one of her sons, writing to me, expresses his unqualified confidence that "mother fell asleep in Jesus." What a legacy for a mother to leave her children! Though incomparable in its value, that legacy is theirs.
After an attack of heart disease, lingering some twelve weeks, she was stricken down with paralysis, and her spirit passed away September 9th, 1890. Three sons and five daughters survive her to revere her memory, to perpetuate her virtues, and to attest the fidelity with which she reared them for usefulness and for God.
