George
S. Harrison was born January 15, 1865 and departed this life March 26, 1953,
being at the time of his death 88 years, 2 months and 11 days of age.
He was a
son of the late Martin and Katherine Harrison.
His wife, Minnie Marty Harrison, preceded him in death June 8,1940.
Surviving are two children, Mrs. Mabel Heslep,
of Clarington Route 1, and Harry Harrison, of Wheeling; one sister, Mrs. Ruth Mozena; five grandsons and one granddaughter; five great
granddaughters and one great grandson, with many other relatives and friends.
One of
his grandsons, Pvt. John Heslep, is serving his
country in the U.S. Army in Japan. He is
of the same lineage as the two late President Harrisons. His entire life has been spent in this
community. He was a member of the United
Brethern Church in Christ.
"Pappy" as he was affectionately called by his family and
friends, was a friend to all he came in contact with. From his childhood to his last hour he always
manifested a sunny character. His last
years were spent listening to his radio of which he got all the church services
he was able to dial. His great ambition
was to drink deeper from the fountain of God's love, so when his master called,
"It is enough, come up higher," he could sing with the Angels his
favorite hymns, "On Jordan's Stormy Banks," and "Home At
Last."
The
events of his entire life can best be eulogized in these few words of the poet.
He lived in the house by the side of the road,
And was a friend of man.
Then shall I reach that happy
place
And be forever blest,
Then shall I see my Father's face
And in His bosom rest.

Earl B. Morris, 25 of Branchton was killed instantly yesterday when a farm
tractor engine toppled over on him in a freak accident near his home.
Cause of death was a crushed chest, internal injuries and first degree
burns to the body, according to Deputy Coroner A. W. Lehnerd.
The accident occurred between 5:30 PM
and 6:30 PM on the Warren Sutton farm, Route 2, Harrisville.
According to State Police and the
coroner's office Morris had been working on the Sutton farm cutting pit posts
and logging. At approximately 4:30 PM he pulled into the farm in a flat bed truck. Reconstructing the freak accident, officers
said Morris was attempting to load a Caterpillar farm tractor on the truck. He
had pulled the truck up and had started driving the tractor from the bank onto
the truck. The tractor suddenly tipped. The engine lifted clear of first mount
and toppled over backward onto Morris. He was killed instantly. Burns were
inflicted from hot oil in the engine.
Two boys, Donald and Dale Patton, both
approximately 16 years of age, spotted the truck and ran to the scene. They
found Morris pinned underneath the engine of the tractor at approximately 6:30
PM.
An auto wrecker from Slippery Rock was
called and the body was freed when the wrecker winched the engine from his
body.
It was the fourth farm tractor fatality
to occur in Butler County this year.
Morris's body was taken to the Ligo Funeral Home in Slippery Rock.
Born in Camden on the Gauley, West
Virginia, September 17, 1927, Morris was the son of Florence Walters and Earl
H. Morris, resident of the area for the past 10 years,
he had served with the U. S. Marine Corps in World War II.
