William J. Haralson, of this county, is a native of east Tennessee, but grew up 
in Habersham county, Georgia.  He was plainly educated; came here when a young 
man; read law, and began the practice in Lebanon.  In 1850 he was elected to 
the office of solicitor of the judicial circuit, and held the place about two 
years.  He raised a company of men, and was engaged at Shiloh.  In 1862 he was 
elected to the circuit court bench, and has continuously occupied that 
responsible position till the present time.  He was a nephew of Col. J. J. 
Humphries, for some years a citizen of DeKalb, and who died while serving as 
Indian agent in the west.

Additional Comments:
William's wife was Cornelia Jane MacFarlane.
