           INGRAM HARRISON, farmer and stockman, resident on section 24, in
        Lake Township, was born Dec. 25, 1832, in Yorkshire, Eng.  His
        father, JOHN HARRISON, was also born in England, and in 1857 trans-
        ferred his family and business to Middlesex Co., Ont. His mother,
        MARY (WILSON) HARRISON, was a native of England, and died in her
        native country when she was 45 years of age.
           MR. HARRISON was the fourth of seven children born to his
        parents. He obtained a fair education by his own efforts, and when
        he was 12 years of age began to earn his own livelihood by farm
        labor. When he was 22 years of age he came to this country, and
        settled in Livingston Co., N.Y.  A year later he went to Middlesex
        Co., Ont., where he was a laborer until his marriage, in that
        county, June 29, 1859, when he became the husband of ELIZABETH
        EDWARDS. The following children have been born to them: MARY (MRS.
        JOSEPH WILLIAMS); HENRY, ELIZA, ALICE, ROBERT, EDWARD, JOHN, ANN,
        JAMES, FRANCIS and WILLIAM. The latter died in infancy.
           After his marriage MR. HARRISON was a farmer in the counties of
        Middlesex and Lambton, in Ontario, where he remained nine years. In
        the fall of 1869 he came to Huron County, and purchased 240 acres
        of land on sections 24 and 25, Lake Township. The entire tract was
        in its original wild state.  The farm now includes 90 acres of
        cleared and cultivated land, two acres of which is a well-assorted
        orchard, and the place is fitted with suitable and necessary farm
        buildings.
           MR. HARRISON is a Republican, and has discharged the duties of
        several local offices in the township.
           He owns and operates a flouring mill at Pinnebog.
           In the collection of portraits selected for this ALBUM is found
        that of MR. HARRISON, accompanying this sketch.
