Death Calls T. O. C. Harrison
Well Known and Esteemed Citizen Passes Away
WAS LONG TIME SERVANT
Public Called Him to Many Positions In Time and Devotion To Duty and To Their Interest Marked Every Commission.

The community was pained and surprised to learn of the death of one of its well known and highly esteemed citizens, Judge T.O.C. Harrison, which occurred at his home in West Lawn at 9:30 o"clock this morning. Although failing in health for some time, Judge Harrison was able to attend to his duties in connection with his law practice until one week ago today, when he was stricken suddenly with uraemic poisoning. Since that time his condition has been regarded as grave, and his demise resulted early this morning.

Hon. T. O. C. Harrison has filled many positions of public trust in Hall County and his services have been characterized by a noticeable devotion and fidelity. He was born in Clinton County, Ohio, on May 22, 1849, and had thus passed his 70th birthday only a few days ago. He was one of eight children born to Hon. Peter Harrison and Sylvia Lovekin. The father was born in England and had immigrated to the United States at the age of 18. Judge Harrison studied law in Ohio and came to this country in 1873 and was admitted to the Hall county bar. In 1876 he was elected to the position of deputy county treasurer and in 1877 was appointed county judge, which position he held by re-election for two succeeding terms. In 1882 he was elected on the republican ticket to represent Hall and Hamilton counties in the Nebraska senate. In 1887 he was appointed district judge and was elected at the succeeding election, the district being composed of the counties of Hall, Howard, Greeley, Valley, Garfield, Loup, Blaine, Thomas, Boone, and Wheeler. Early in the 90's he was elected a member of the Nebraska supreme court and served for two terms.

Mr. Harrison was united in marriage in 1879 to Miss M. Camille Laine. He was a member of Lodge No. 33 A. F & A. M., Mount Levanon Commandery, No. 11 Knights Templar, and also of the Knights of Pythias and the A. O. U. W. He is survived by his bereaved wife; one step-daughter, Mrs. Addie Morgan, of Tacoma,Wash.; one brother Charles E. Harrison, of New Burlington, Ohio; and two grandsons, twins, who are students in the local high school. Two brothers, the late R.L. and the late W.H. Harrison, and two sisters, have preceded him in death.

Definite arrangements for the funeral have not as yet been made but services will probably be held on Sunday afternoon.
