HARRISON

[1] Sharon Rose DeLUCCHI, the daughter of Alfred William DeLUCCHI and Genevieve Mignon DONHAM, was born 16 Jun 1942 in Ross, Marin County, CA. She graduated from Lincoln High School, San Francisco, in 1960 and married her high school sweetheart Kenneth Edmund HARRISON on 4 Dec 1960 in San Francisco.

Kenny was born 30 Oct 1941 in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, the son of Cecil Lewis "Harry" HARRISON and Florence Margaret SPAHN. Cecil, born 6 Aug 1910 in Schenectady, Schenectady County, NY, was the son of Edmund Lewis HARRISON and Cecilia LUCAS.

Edmund Lewis HARRISON was born 5 Feb 1880 in Syracuse, Onondaga County, NY. His father was a farmer and died when a tree fell on him. His mother died of cancer around 1920. Edmund lived at Harrison Hill, in Napanee, Ontario, Canada, where he married before 1910 to Cecilia LUCAS. They had two children Edmund Lucas "Ted" HARRISON (b. abt 1908) and Cecil Lewis HARRISON. Edmund later married Letitia Marie "Connie" CONROY and had a son Jack HARRISON, born 16 Apr 1918 in New York. Connie was born 25 Jun 1902 in Chicago, Cook County, IL, the daughter of John CONROY.

There are many stories about Edmund HARRISON's career in the FBI in the 1920s, but many of the facts are mixed up today. Kenny thought that Edmund was shot by the gangster DILLINGER while Florence thought that it might have been Baby Face NELSON. Florence also thought that Edmund met his wife Connie when she was a nurse for him after being shot. Jack HARRISON said that Edmund, a prohibition agent in the FBI who ran raids against bootleggers, was once shot on one raid around 1928. The bullet grazed his temple, knocking him unconscious. He awoke later in the squad car. Linda (HARRISON) RUNNE, daughter of Edmund Lucas "Ted" HARRISON and Dorothy PFEIFER, said that Edmund worked for the FBI and disappeared for awhile. It was later found out that he was shot and went into hiding on the West Coast. He died of cancer in 1929.

Florence Margaret SPAHN was born 11 Apr 1916 in Lidgerwood, Richland County, ND, the daughter of Joseph Mark SPAHN and Josephine Rose BITTNER.
