J. F. Harrison

J. F. Harrison died in Camp county, Texas, May 18, 1906. The country 
lost a good man when he fell asleep. He was born in Russell county, 
Ala., in 1844, and reared in Upson county, Ga. He joined the army of 
Virginia in March, 1862, under Capt. Hartsfield, Co. D, 13th Georgia 
Regiment, Gordon's Brigade, Early's Division, Jackson's Corps, and 
served until the surrender at Appomattox. Comrade Harrison was married 
in Dec. 1866, to Miss Lou A. Simmons, and moved to Camp county, Texas, 
where he was a most active citizen and identified with the upbuilding 
of the section. He was serving his third term as county commissioner, 
and was candidate for county treasurer. His public life was marked by 
fidelity and honesty of the highest type of manhood.
