Harrelson, among other things, contained the following: "Having been born and reared on a farm when farming was anything but remunerative, Senator Harrelson received but little formal education, but being a voluminous reader with a great sense of humor, he developed into one of the best campaigners of the current political period In Marion County. As a lawyer, he prepared his cases well; and before a jury he was well-nigh invincible. He carried many cases to the Supreme Court, usually as respondent to support the verdicts he had won before juries. He had a remarkable memory and on one occasion he walked into the Supreme Court room without brief or notes and so ably did he argue the facts and the law in his case that great tribute was paid him by the Court when it wrote its decision confirming his verdict. He carried many cases to the Supreme Court in which his contentions on theretofore undecided questions became the law; many of these questions were of vast importance. As a statesman, Senator Harrelson was a tremendous force in the passage of the 6-0-1 school law; he was largely instrumental in giving to Marion County a model form of county government. As a man he was honest to a fault, truthful to the point of often being blunt; he was true to his family, to his neighbors, and to himself. Senator Harrelson, fine citizen, strong character, able statesman, is no more, God rest his soul."
