Bio

~~Family- my great grandpa ~~ Grandpa was the first child of William Henry Harrison and May "Belle" Anawalt-Harrison Obit- Everett Harrison, 65 Years old, was killed today when he was buried under a yard or more of dirt in a cave-in on a sewer project at 2710 North Thirty-second street, Kansas City, Kansas. Harrison was shoveling dirt at a depth of ten and one-half feet when the north side of the ditch collapsed. Dirt covered him as he fell, head first. A nephew R. H. Harrison, 2515 North Forty-Fifth street terrace, operator of a ditch digging machine was at the top of the ditch, waiting to assist his uncle to the surface when the cave-in occurred. A brother Albert Harrison, proprietor of the plumbing company where Everett Harrison was employed, was near-by. R. W. Harrison jumped into the hole and began removing dirt with his hands, to provide air for his uncle, Dale Young 25, of 1218 South Forty-first street, a carpenter, jumped from the roof of a house on which he was working and to which the lateral sewer connection was projected, seized a shovel, and began removing dirt from the ditch. He was joined by other workmen on the house and by crews from other developments in the neighborshood. Housewives from adjoining homes rushed to the scene and provided medicines and blankets. Pulmotor crews from the fire and police departments made a futile effort to revive him. R. W. Harrison said it required about thirty minutes to remove his uncle from the ditch. Harrison was pronounced dead at the Providence hospital; where he was taken in an ambulance. He lived at 2211 South Thirty-Seventh Street in Argentine district of Kansas City, Kansas.
