schools and grew to manhood on his father's farm. He lived with his parents till twenty-two years old, then started out for himself, working in lumber camps and on drives about six years.

There they have worked together to establish a home. The residence is ever filled with happiness and good cheer, and its hospitality is widely known. The school teachers and the young people call the place their home, and there goes out from its cheery atmosphere a beneficient influence that is far-reaching. Since she has been in Wright county Mrs. Harrington has continued to be active in church, social and fraternity work, and here as in previous places she is known by the loving title of "Aunt May." In every walk of life she has done her duty. She was a good daughter and has been a good wife and sister, a good neighbor and faithful friend.
