Write up from Hand Hills Heritage Book, of Hand Hills Alberta, Canada: MR. AND MRS. MIKE HARRISON Mr. and Mrs. Harrison arrived in the Hand Hills area in September, 1914, settling on the Frank Stark homestead and pre-emption on Section 28-29-15 West of the fourth meridian, later buying and moving to Soldier Settlement land on the Southeast quarter of 32-29-15 West of the fourth where they remained raising their family. They had their share of misfortune during the early years. They suffered the loss of two homes and entire contents, once in 1917, again in 1926. The Bennett buggy and one horse shay was a familiar sight as it transported the children and the water supply each day to the Hand Hills Lake School where members of the family were in attendance over a period of thirty years. While on the farm Mrs. Harrison besides baking bread for six hungry boys, managed for several years to keep the bachelor across the fence supplied with bread also. The family were active members of the Zion United Church and the boys were active in local sports: hockey, baseball, boxing, etc. At one time the Hand Hills Broncs Hockey Club had a complete line of Harrisons (two defense and three forwards). The Harrison boys became very proficient trappers during the 1930s, when money was hard to come by, and tramped many miles over the snow covered prairie covering their trap lines to supplement the meagre income that was the lot of all young boys raised in those years. Like many families the Harrison children had one horse that transported many of them to school. His name was Bob, a big, rangy well mannered sorrel that probably should have passed grade twelve by the time he was retired. Hockey was the favorite sport of the boys and when weather was fit, skates would be donned almost every evening for a scrimmage on the dam behind the barn or on Benedict's ice another one hundred yards north. The neighbor children, the Rowdens, Pfahls, KeIms, Siepperts, Benedicts, Galls and Prestons helped to chase the puck around the pond and in the dark many pucks were lost but with twenty-five horses drinking at the dam substitutes were always readily available and a game was never stopped for lack of a puck. Games were frequently played in almost total darkness. Despite this, goals were hotly debated at times. One lad would say the puck had grazed the inside corner of the gum rubber that served as a goal post and another would say it went over the top. Many times it took an hour to get the snow shoveled off before the game could begin, and cracks were always in the ice. A skater just tried to avoid them to keep from landing upside down. In 1950, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison and youngest son, Eddie, moved to Hanna where they lived until Mrs. Harrison's death on April 10, 1961, after a lengthy illness. Mr. Harrison then moved to Calgary.
