Walter F. Harriman
Franklin County
Meritous service on the part of the Hon. W. F. Harriman in the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth General Assemblies brought about his return to the Twenty-sixth by the people of Franklin county. In the previous Legislatures 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 attended the high school at Warner and at New London Literary and Scientific Institution, in his native state. He came to Iowa with his parents in 1860, and located at Rockford. He taught school several years, and afterward studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1869. For fifteen years he followed his profession, then turned aside to take up the easier life of a farmer and fine stock breeder. 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 is a member of the Congregational church. Besides serving on a number of the standing committees of the House four years ago he was a member of the special committee on World's Fair, and did good work thereon. In the last Legislature he was chairman of the judiciary committee, and a member of the committees on printing, state university, public lands and buildings, Congressional districts, Senatorial districts, rules and domestic manufactures. Coming into the Senate with the experience of two sessions to aid him he will do excellent work for the counties of Franklin, Cerro Gordo and Hancock, which he represents.
