J. M. Harrison, merchant tailor, stands among the popular cutters
and fitters of St. Joseph. He was born in Springfield, Ohio,
January 14, 1842. His father, J. M., was one of the pioneers of
that city, and well known in commercial circles. For a number of
years he was in partnership with James Leffel, of turbine water
wheel fame. The subject of this sketch, in 1861, enlisted in Com-
pany B, Eighty-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, for the three months
call, after which he enlisted in the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth
Volunteer Infantry, serving until the close of the war. After the
war he went to Muscatine, Iowa, and assumed the management of a
tailoring establishment, a business he had become familiarized
with in his native state. In 1869, he came to this city, and has
since been recognized among its most enterprising business men.
He is one of the patentees of Harrison's kitchen safe, an article
of furniture that has won a well merited reputation. He was
married, in 1872, to Miss Abby Sanderson, a native of Springfield,
Illinois. They have two children: Francis and Charles.
