Walter F. Harriman
Franklin County
Meritous service on the part of the Hon. W. F. Harriman in the Twenty-fourth General Assembly brought about his return to the Twenty-fifth by the people of Franklin county. In the last previous legislature he was one of the most active and able members on the Republican side of the House and his constituents are well aware of his good work. He was born in Warner, New Hampshire, August 16, 1841, and went to school both at Warner and New London in his native State. Law was his special study at the latter place, and when he came out he was ready to begin practice. He moved to Iowa soon after and located at Hampton. For fifteen years he followed his profession, then turned aside to take up the easier life of a gentleman farmer and fine stock breeder. During his twenty years of residence in Hampton he has held various city and county offices, always elected by the votes of Republicans. He is a member of the Masons and Odd Fellows and attends the Congregational church. Besides serving on a number of the standing committees of the House two years ago he was a member of the special committee on World's Fair, and did good work thereon. He is known as an intelligent, conservative man and a good legislator.
