Sketch of J.M. Harrison.
James Monroe Harrison was born at Vandalia, Illinois, January 27, 1862; died at Chandler May 26, 1902.
At the age of 12 he removed with his parents, David and Louisa Harrison, to Vinita, I.T., and later to Brideport, Texas, at which place he was united in marriage to Martha E. Easley, February 3, 1884.
Prior to his marriage he was engaged in the cattle business in Texas and afterwards in the mercantile business with his father, at Bridgeport.
In September, 1893, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison and their two children moved to Tecumseh from Texas. While living here he served a term as city marshal and was noted for both bravery and kindness of heart.
Mr. Harrison first embarked in the saloon business at Shawnee, and afterwards owned saloons at both Geary and Keokuk Falls, living at the latter place for three years. From there he came to Chandler in August, 1900.
Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Harrison of whom the oldest, a son, and the youngest, a daughter, died in infancy. The wife and son Cecil, aged 14, and daughter Ethel, aged 11, survive the husband and father.
Mr. Harrison was a life long student of the Bible in which he was extremely well versed. He was steward of the M.E. church near Bridgeport, Texas. His wife was born in the Christian church to which Mr. Harrison was partial, and with which he recently talked strongly of uniting. His parents were members of the Baptist church.
Mr. Harrison was a man of markedly benevolent character. No needy person ever left his presence empty handed. He was a kind father and devoted husband.
Funeral services were conducted from the home at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon by the Redmen, of which order the deceased was a member. Rev. T.J. Giddens preached a comforting sermon. Many friends gathered to pay the last tribute to the dead and the floral tributes were beautiful. Interment was in Oak Park cemetery.
