HARRISON Died at his home in Rison, Ark., Tuesday morning Dec. 12, 1904 at 3 o'clock a.m., Mr. Jesse Harrison, age 66 years 11 monts and 12 days. He was a native of Alabama but came with his parents to Arkansas when quite a boy, being only ten years of age. His family settled near this place and it was near here that he attended school, that he cleared away the forest and did general farm work until the beginning of the war between the states. When war was declared he was among the early volunteers and he continued in the confederate ranks until he received a gun shot wound in the knee which entitled him for service for nearly a year, as soon as he was sufficiently recovered he returned with his musket to the line of battle. He remained in the war until the surrender when he returned to his family and to the farm. In 1850 Mr. Harrison was married to Miss Balzora Kesterson with whom he lived pleasantly until his death. To them were born eight children; seven of whom four boys and three girls, Messrs. J.E., Robert, Joe, and Frank Harrison and Mrs. Dora Crump and Misses Mattie and Nolie Harrison, survive him. Mr. Harrison was one of our enterprising citizens. He was always anxious to see and assist in any move that would be beneficial to neighborhood. Mr. Harrison left the farm because of the injury he sustained in the army. Soon after the county seat was located at Toledo he moved there and went into the hotel business and remained there until Cotton Belt railroad was built and Rison located and then he was amog the first to locate here. He was the first to build a substantial house where the town now stands and from that day, he was one of the leading citizens of that place. Among his public acts he served his people as magistrate and as County Judge. He was regularly in the hotel business until a few years ago when he quit for a year on account of failing health but he re-entered the business and remained in it until he sold out last year to his son, Mr. R.E. Harrison. Mr. Harrison was a Christian as well as a moral upright citizen. In 1862 he professed religion and joined the Methodist Church of which he was a constant member till his death. Mr. Harrison had been in failing health for a year or two and several times lately had beat death's door and while his death is much regreted it is not a surprise to those who had known him. In addition to the wife and children he has two brothers and two sisters, Daniel and Franklin Harrison and Mrs. E.H. Raiborn and Mrs. M.C. Harlow, who survive him. They weep over his departure but not as those who without hope for he died in the faith and assured his loved ones that he was going home to a better world. The funeral was preached by brother Scott after which the odd Fellows and Masons in which orders he was an honored member, took charge and with befiting ceremoies his remains were laid to rest in the Rison Cemetery.
