DECEASED BRETHREN

We do not know a lot about Herbert Abraham Harrison. He was a member of Vancouver & Quadra Lodge, No. 2 in Victoria.

He died of “inflammation of the bowels” on 27 July 1888, aged 24.

Here is the report of his death from the Daily Colonist newspaper:

“Harrison – At Vancouver, on the 27 inst., of inflammation of the bowels, Herbert A. Harrison, a native of Illinois, U.S., aged 26 years [note: his gravestone says 24 years].

The funeral will take place tomorrow, Sunday, at half past two o’clock, from the Masonic Temple, Douglas Street. Friends are invited to attend.”
