He came to this, Hendricks county, with his parents in 1828, settling in an unbroken forest on land entered by his father in 1827, he at his death owning the land entered by his father. This sturdy pioneer family consisted of seven sons and four daughters, Harrison being the eighth. He knew of all the wants and privations of a new country, often going for weeks without bread in the house and substituting the white meat of the wild turkey for bread. In this wild forest with but a few neighbors and they far away, the love of Jesus was a burning fire, the mother daily calling the entire family around the fireside while she read a portion of Scriptures and invoked the blessing of Almighty God upon herself and her family. It was this early training that formed that noble and Christian life Uncle Harrison whish was so characteristic of him. He joined the Presbyterian church in early manhood and is the last to pass away of the charter members of the White Lick church. He was an elder of the church many years, one of the stout pillars on which the church has rested so long.
He was married to Susan Almeda Moberly Aug. 4, 1842. They lived for a short period in the western part of the county, later moving to the farm now owned by him. To this union was born eight sons and three daughters, all of whom have preceded him to the realms of eternal bliss. His consort passed away April 29, 1901, leaving him the last of this large family and leaving to mourn their loss, now , two sons-in-law, Aaron Crouch and Robt. Bell, five grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren and but a few nieces and nephews and a legion of friends. His genial and generous life and character had won for him the love and respect of all with whom he came in contact.
He united with the I. O. O. F. in 1866 in which he was an honored member and enjoyed all the honors the lodge could bestow upon him, his veteran's jewel being one of the early numbers.
He was a man of honest convictions and always stood ready to defend them but was always generous to the opinion of those who might not agree with him, believing that an honest opinion was a source of great happiness.
He was a kind husband and father and always ready to undergo any fatigue or privation to aid his family. His last sickness was long but not painful, he having to quite an extent loss, both mind and sight.
In his death, the community lost a good citizen, the church a defender, his descendants, a shepherd. His prayers led the community in which he had lived for 84 years.
The funeral was Sunday morning at White Lick church. Conducted by Rev. W. H. Gray. Interment was in the cemetery nearby.
