History of Early Pioneer Families of Hood River, Oregon. Compiled by Mrs. D.M. Coon
M.V. HARRISON AND FAMILY
Before his arrival in Hood River, M.V. Harrison lived in an Eastern Oregon county where he was probate judge, so he was usually spoken of as Judge Harrison. He was a public spirited man and took an active interest in civic affairs. He erected a handsome and substantial residence on Oak Street and owned and operated a dry goods and grocery store until he moved to Portland and engaged in the Real Estate Business. His son Dale was purser on the boats of the White Collar Line until steamboats became obsolete on the Middle Columbia.
