  Obediah and Laura E Harrison Family This photograph of Obediah and Laura E Harrison's family is a tintype photograph. It was taken in 1898, in Texas County Missouri, just a short time before Obediah passed away, and found in the home of Juanita Clower Kirby Wells. Juanita still lives on the farm which has been in the family since the early 1900s. Shortly after Obediah passed away in 1900, his wife Laura and her children went to Oklahoma where her son Alph Harrison married Nellie Laurence who's family owned this farm. Laura passed away in their home on this farm and it is believed that this photograph was in her possessions.

• Notes

  1900 census indicates Laura gave birth to Seven children but only 5 were living. Interview with Cassie: Soon after Laura's husband Obediah Harrison died in 1901-1902, Laura and her children moved to Oklahoma Territory. Laura lost the farm in Missouri. I have heard something from a couple of people, including Juanita Wells, that there was a man who cheated Laura out of the farm. Cassie said something about Laura losing the farm also. She said Alph was about 17, Liss was about 14 and Laura sent them on horseback from Texas County Missouri to Stephens County, Oklahoma to find a place for them to live near her brother who lived there. After Alph and Liss found a place, Laura moved to Stephens County with the girls. Should be able to locate 1910 census showing Cassie and Belle still living with Laura. 1920 Census indicates Laura was 58, a widdow, and living in Wall Township, Stephens County, Oklahoma with her single brother Bynker who was 54. The Census shows Laura owned her house which was free of mortgage, she was in the farming truck trade and could read and write. Cassie remembers her father George W. Harrison sending Alph and Ed to Laura's to help them with the farm. Alph didn't like it, he didn't like farming, but Ed didn't mind. Pecan Cemetery Record: Birth: Feb. 14, 1862 Death: Feb. 7, 1927 d/o Audley Harrison and Hannah Elizabeth (Hargis) Harrison. She married Obadiah Harrison on 06 Dec 1882, Texas Co., MO. OBITUARY: MRS.

Both sons and Mrs. Wheeler are here for the funeral. Mrs. Harrison is also survived by three brothers who reside in Missouri. Funeral services were held this afternoon at the residence at 1:30. Rev. Walter Jones, a Baptist minister of Faxon, conducted the services. Burial was made in Pecan Cemetery with Ritter's in charge. The family has the sympathy of their friends in their bereavement. (The Lawton Constitution, Tuesday, 08 Feb 1927, p. 1). OBITUARY: FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MRS. HARRISON Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the home of Alph Harrison, a prominent farmer residing eleven miles southwest of Lawton, for his mother, Mrs. Laura Harrison, who died Monday afternoon, Rev. Walter Jones, officiating. Mrs. Harrison came to live with her son twelve years ago from Duncan where she lived with a daughter several years. She was an earnest Christian, was loved by all who knew her, and her friends sympathize with the family in her passing. U. A. Harrison of Hinton, her other son, was here for the funeral, as was her daughter, Mrs. Alta Wheeler of Duncan. Her other daughter, Mrs. Cassie Anderson of Friday, Texas, was unable to attend. The funeral service was well attended, several cars of relatives and friends were present from Duncan and surrounding communities.

DAR file number 840385 indicates Laura died in Lawton, Oklahoma, however Zula Juanita Harrison remembered Laura living with her family in Faxon, Oklahoma, just a few miles south of Lawton. This area was previously known as Lawrence Township, Pecan Cemetery is there where the majority of our Harrison and Hennessee family is burried and hundereds of our family once lived there. Obituary confirms Laura died in the home of her son, Alph Harrison, 11 miles southwest of Lawton, which is Faxon.
