A BUSINESS SERMON.
INENT RANCHMAN, DEAD
Friends of Mr. Felix L. Har-
rison were shocked Thursday,
December 27th, when the word
came that he had died in San
Antonio at the Santa Rosa Hos-
pital at 12:45 on that date.
Mr. Harrison had been in ill
health for several months but
had improved much recently and
was able to be around on the
streets a few day before Christ-
mas, exchanging the season’s
greeting with his many friends,
and it seemed so sudden that
within a few short days he was
called away. Mr. Harrison and
twin brother, Mr. Mann Harri-
son, came to this community
about 11 years ago, having
moved from Junction. They

where his children have attend-

11, he was 60
years old.
Mr. Harrison was a member
of the Masonic Lodge, having
been a member since he was 21
years of age; he was also a mem
ber of the B. P. O. E. No
ranchman in this section had a
wider range of friends than
genial Felix Harrison, who num-
bers his friends by te score.
Funeral services were con-
ducted at the family residence
