STRATTON, Neb. — Warren Edward Harrison, age 94, of Stratton, passed away July 3, 2022, at El Dorado Manor in Trenton, Neb.

Warren was born July 15, 1927, in the 3-36 Precinct of Dundy County, Neb., on the family farm to Elmer and Cleo (Tatum) Harrison. He was raised on the farm and attended Ash Grove school. He left school during his freshmen year of high school to help on the farm. During this time, Warren and his twin brother, Wayne, would pick corn by hand with a horse drawn wagon.

On Aug. 3, 1948, Warren married Rose A. Maris in her family home near Stratton. Together, they raised children Ed, Bev, Judy and Ken. Growing up on the farm sparked his passion for feeding the world, and he was a lifelong farmer.
