      Peter B. Harrison, 30 years old, Born KS, parents born KS
      Mary, 30 years old, Born IL, Parents born IL

      Harry L, 5, born IL

      Peter worked in a refinery most of his life. He was good friends with the brother of his wife, John Joseph Sonnenberg, and they frequently worked in the same place and lived close together. Mary Sonnenberg Harrison died at a fairly young age and the children were taken away from their father and placed in an orphanage in KY. Peter worked hard to get his children back and was finally successful. Lester Harrison looked a great deal like the son of John Sonnenberg (Hudson Sonnenberg) and they could easily have passed for brothers.
