As the result of injuries sustained in a runaway last Thursday afternoon, Harrison IRVIN, 27, died at the Woodlawn hospital Tuesday at one o'clock. The end, although expected, came as a great shock to his relatives and friends.
The accident which resulted in the young man's death occurred Thursday afternoon while he was helping unload lumber at the Lake Erie yards. A local train was passing. Irvin was holding the horse by the bit when the animal started to run, throwing him against the cars. He let go and the frightened horse pulled the wagon over his body. The injuries which resulted in death were located over and under the stomach and the attending physicians said at once that little hope could be held for his recovery.
Harrison Irvin was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton IRVIN who conduct a landing at the lake. For years he worked at the Barrett lumber yard. He leaves a wife, a son, one brother, Ernest IRVIN, and two sisters, Mrs. Harry CHAMBERLAIN and Mrs. Walter McCALL. Mrs. Irvin was formerly Miss Grace BARRETT.

Harrison S. IRVIN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton IRVIN, was born near Talma, Indiana, January 12th, 1888; departed this life July 20th, 1915, aged 27 years, six months and eight days.
He was married to Miss Grace BARRETT, Oct. 23rd, 1907, and to this union was born one son, Barrett [IRVIN], who is six years old. Besides his parents and a host of friends, the deceased leaves one brother, Ernest [IRVIN], and two sisters, Mrs. Harry CHAMBERLAIN and Mrs. Walter McCALL. One brother prededed him, Stephen [IRVIN], who was only 12 years old at the time of his death.
Brother Irvin was an honored and esteemed member of Kankakee Tribe, No. 151, Improved Order of Red Men, and peculiarly devoted to its principles of Freedom, Friendship and Charity. The evidence of the esteem in which he was held by this organization is shown in the fact of his promotion in the several chairs. Only his untimely accident prevented his promotion to the highest chair, which would have occurred on last Friday evening.
During the last four years he has been in the employ of A. J. BARRETT and has always been considered one of the most valuable employes by his employer. Previous to these years, Mr. Irvin was engaged in the decorating business for a number of years. Funeral Thursday p.m., Rev. F. Z. BURKETTE officiating.
