Alfred being the oldest child of the family quit school to work and help raise the family. She stated that he also told her, John Harrison did offer to marry his mother. My aunt Ida Cadd wife of Walter Cadd also told me (August 1997) that she was told by her husband Walter Cadd that Mary's father was John R. Harrison and that he worked at a service station in Iron Gate. She saw him one time when her husband pointed him out and that he was a short stout man. Research conducted by Jerry R.
