Louisville Herald September 15, 1910, Pg 8 
After a long illness, caused by a general breaking down of the system, Harrison 
Criswell died at his home, on East Gorgas Street, Tuesday morning. Mr. Criswell 
was born at Mapleton February 22, 1841, and lacked a few months of being 
seventy years of age. For almost fifty years he lived on a farm near Mapleton 
and twenty years of his life were spent in Louisville. In 1861 Mr. Criswell 
married Miss Polly Shearer and nine children were born to them, one dying in 
infancy. The wife and the following children survive; G. A. Criswell, of 
Canton, John H. Criswell, of Des Moines, Iowa, Mrs. Letitia Mercer, of Butler, 
Indiana, Mrs. Iva D. Miller and H. D. Criswell, of Louisville, William J. 
Criswell, LeMats, Iowa, Oliver Criswell, Hicksville, OH, and Mrs. Charles 
Ritner, of Wilmington, Delaware. While residing in Osnaburg township Mr. 
Criswell gave considerable of his spare time to the instruction of vocal music 
which he understood very well. He taught the singing schools in nearby 
districts and was choir leader in the Christian church. His journey in life did 
not quite reach the bounds of man's appointed years but death came to him with 
friendly care after weeks of pain and suffering. Funeral services will be held 
at the late residency at two o'clock, Thursday afternoon and will be in charge 
of Rev. Black and Rev. Davidson. Burial will be made in the Union cemetery.
