DD#1 wanted to visit the cemetary that is next to the Texas Ranger Museum in Waco, TX while we were there. She is quite artistic and she loves the markings and designs on old headstones. While she was busy looking at the creative side of a cemetary, I set out on a quest to see how many Harrison’s were buried there. I know that none of them are from my husband’s immediate family, but I’m sure there’s a geneological link somewhere down the line.
