LIEUT. HARRISON AMONG THE DEAD

Official News of Death of Galland Columbus Young Man in France Received by His 
Father

   Lieutenant Charles G. Harrison, son of Capt. Joseph S. Harrison, of this 
city, has been killed in action over yonder, and the hundred of friends and 
admirers of this well know Columbus boy were shocked and grieved by the news 
which came in a telegram from the war department last night to the young man’s 
father, stating that he was killed in action on September 12, in France.
   Lieutenant Harrison, before entering the service of his country, was one of 
Columbus’ most prominent young business men, having been employed in the 
office of Mr. Charles M. Woolfolk for several years. He was a most exemplary 
young man, being a consistent member of the First Presbyterian church, and was 
held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. The sympathy of the entire 
community goes out to the sadly bereaved family.
   Lieutenant Harrison was a member of Company F, 328 Infantry, and received 
his training at Fort McPherson. He embarked for France in April, and according 
to letters received by his father, he was devoting himself with vigor in the 
fight for liberty which is being so gallantly waged by the allied armies, and 
especially the Americans.
   Lieutenant Harrison was born and reared in Columbus and was twenty-seven 
years of age. He is survived by his father and one brother, J. Marshall 
Harrison, and three sisters, Miss Maggie Harrison, Miss Agnes Harrison and 
Mrs. Ed. Fleetwood, and by his aged grandmother, Mrs. Jane Martin, and a 
number of other relatives.
