POSTMASTER HARRISON DIES AT HIS HOME IN CLAYTON.
Heart Trouble, Occasioned by Over Exertion, Given as Immediate Cause
Oscar Harrison, who had for ten years been postmaster at Clayton, died suddenly at his home on Thursday evening of last week. He had been hunting a good portion of the day and returned home about 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. He lay down to take a nap, and Mrs. Harrison went to call on a neighbor Mr. Harrison awoke and went to the wood house to pump up the tank for his lighting plant. The pump was not in good repair, and Mrs. Harrison generally assisted him in this work. It is supposed he tried do the work alone and the over exertion brought on a fatal attack of heart trouble. When Mrs. Harrison returned and he was not in the house, she went to look for him and found him dead, having fallen against the door in the wood house.
Mr. Harrison was a large man, always in a good humor and had a host of friend, He was a member of the Odd Fellows, Masons and the Methodist church. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, and were largely attended
Oscar married Nettie Rushton February 17, 1895 Hendricks County, Indiana
