To the family of Allen Harrison.
I have known Allen all his life, he farmed just to the south our farm and he did carpenter work for us. I was sorry to hear of his passing and that he had been in poor health.
A memorial gift will be given to the Elk Mound Evergreen Cemetery in his honor. Sincerely, LaVerne Ausman
