BIOGRAPHY OF HENRY HARRIGER
The Harriger family have been identified with the development of this Commonwealth for more then a century and a quarter. He whose name introduces this sketch, a farmer of Clarion county, is of the third generation who tilled the soil and assisted in the State's onward march to her present high excellency.
There lie buried in the Churchville cemetery Michael Harriger, the grandfather of Henry Harriger, and by his side his wife, who was Elizabeth Smathers, both natives of Luzerne county, Penn., where they lived as early as 1771. Michael Harriger, a son of this pioneer couple, and the father of Henry Harriger, was born in Luzerne county, June 19, 1806, and in 1811 came with his parents to what is now Clarion county, where they located on a farm in Monroe township, upon which their grandson (under consideration) now resides. On September 23, 1830, in Clarion county, Michael Harriger married Elizabeth Wiser, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Core, and their children were: Jacob, born September 27, 1831, died April 21, 1833; John, born January 24, 1833, is a farmer near Kalamazoo, and died in 1863; Henry is our subject; Philip, born March 25, 1839, is a wagon maker residing in Du Bois, Penn.; Washington, born April 17, 1841, was a member of Captain McLain's Company, 83d P.V.I., in the Civil war, and was killed in battle in 1863; Daniel, born December 13, 1844, is a blacksmith at Greenville, Penn.; James L., born January 9, 1847, is a farmer near White Cloud, Mich.; and Alexander, born March 29, 1850, died August 21, 1851. The father of these children died September 8, 1892; and both are buried in Licking cemetery, in Clarion county. The father was identified with the Baptist Church and the mother with the Presbyterian. They were good and pious Christians who moved along through life in the even tenor of their way, doing good deeds here and there, and making the world better for their exemplary lives. Her place of nativity was in Mifflin county, where she was born June 30, 1809, a daughter of Jacob and Mary (Meyers) Wiser, who were born east of the Alleghany Mountains, located in Piney township, Clarion county, in 1827, and in 1836 settled in Montoe township, where they passed the rest of their lives. He died in 1837, when he was aged fifty-four years. His widow survived until 1854, when she passed away at the age of seventy years. Both are buried at Churchville.
Henry Harriger was born January 17, 1837, on the homestead where he has practically resided for sixty years. At the age of twenty-two years he went to work on a farm for John Trainor, remaining four years. In 11862, when our Union was threatened and Civil war was upon us, fired with patriotism and love of country, young Harriger enlisted in Company H, 155th P.V.I. He was with the Army of the Potomac, and shared the fate of his command from Antietam to Appomattox, participating in the numerous skirmishes and battles in which his company was engaged. Among them were Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Hatcher's Run, and the Wilderness. During the battle of Gettysburg he was confined in the hospital at Fairfax, Va., where he was ill for six weeks. He received an honorable discharge from the service in June 1865, then returned to the home farm of his parents, and in the fall following resumed agricultural pursuits. Following farming through a long life, Mr. Harriger is not without that ripe experience and knowledge of that avocation that one acquires in years of practical work. He has a beautiful farm of 200 acres, on which he is building a new two-story frame house, which will make himself and wife a cozy home where they may pass the evening of life with the comforts their industry and frugality have won for them. They are upright Christian people, members of the Presbyterian Church, and enjoy the respect of the entire community.
Before her marriage to Henry Harriger, which occurred at the church parsonage in Monroe township, on December 26, 1865, being solemnized by Rev. Joseph Matier, a Presbyterian minister, Mrs. Harriger was Sarah Myers.

Emery was born August 14, 1868; Bertin C., June 24, 1871; J. Earl, September 19, 1876; and James McC. B., September 21, 1887.
