death was inevitable.

perfect every detail in connection with
the disposition of his remains. He
made known what ministers he wished
to officiate at his funeral, where he
desired the services to be held, and
lastly selected the pallbearers who
were to bear his remains to the last
resting place. Having finished his

playing the least perturbation Mr..
Harrison sank upon his pillow and
calmly resigned himself to his fate.
