Victim of Lethal Fluid is Given Last Rites Here

Final rites were held Friday afternoon for Rollo Harrison, 37, owner of the Majestic 
Cleaners here. The funeral was held from the home of his brother, J. B. Harrison, Jr., 
110 West cotton street. Harrison was the victim of cleaning chemical poisoning by 
accident at his place of business some two weeks ago. 

Mistaking a glass which had previously contained a portion of the poisonous fluid for 
a drinking glass, Mr. Harrison poured water into the container and drank it. Enough of 
the chemical residue remained in the glass to cause poisoning which made Mr Harrison 
seriously ill at the time.

However, after about two days he was believed on the road to recovery and has since been 
confined to his home and the Markham sanitarium when a turn for the worse was noticed. 
Only Thursday evening friends saw him at the hospital and believe him convalescing. But 
during the night, the insidious poison still in his system, claimed his life.

Mr Harrison, a single man, comes from one of Longview's prominent family who have resided 
here for years. He was a affable man with a legion of friends. 

He is survived by his mother, two sisters, Mrs Louis Persons, widow of the late postmaster 
of Longview, and MrsFrank Koontz, and a brother J. B. Harrison, Jr., all of Longview.

Following services from the west Cotton street residence, interment is being held in Grace 
Hill cemetery with Forman's in charge.
