Mr. Harrison is another worthy representative of that old, respected and widely distributed family, originally of Virginia, whose name he bears. He was a son of Lee Harrison, who in turn was a son of Francis B. Harrison, of Patrick county, Va., and he (Francis B.) was a son of Richard Harrison, of the same county. Lee Harrison was born in Virginia, June 15, 1806, and after he grew up was married to Sallie Reynolds, March 13, 1828. Subsequently he came to Missouri and settled in Shelby county. His wife dying left him two children, Elizabeth, now Mrs. Fitzpatrick, and Martha A., now Mrs. Deach. Lee Harrison's second wife was a Miss Mary J. Smith, a daughter of Charles Smith, of Marion county. It was by this union that Samuel Harrison, the subject of this sketch, was born. He was one of six children, namely: Samuel, Catherine, Matilda, Charles F., Mary A. and R. E. Lee. The mother of these died May 3, 1865. The father a few years afterwards broke up housekeeping and has since made his home with his son Samuel. Samuel Harrison was married December 25, 1862, to Miss Virginia, a daughter of , of Marion county. She died May 11, 1865, without issue. To his present wife, formerly Miss Mary H. Bragg, a sister to his first wife, Mr. Harrison was married March 21, 1866. Mr. H. resides on a good farm which he owns, situated two miles north-east of Shelbina, containing 145 acres, and near his father's old homestead. Mr. Harrison's place is exceptionally well improved. His dwelling, built in the cottage style, and containing seven rooms, with porches, etc., is one of the best in the township. It is two stories high, and is constructed with excellent taste. Mr. Harrison also has another good farm of 175 acres north-west of the old homestead. Mr. and Mrs. H. have no children; their family consists of himself and wife, his father, a nephew of his wife, James Bragg, and his youngest brother. He and wife are members of the M. E. Church South. History of Monroe and Shelby Counties, Missouri; St. Louis: National Historical Company, 1884, Pages 994 and 995 Samuel Harrison. Last Wednesday morning the news came to town that Samuel Harrison, who was known to be very sick, had departed this life. He was taken with the grip, and blood poison set in for some reason. He was buried at Bacon Chapel, Rev. Taylor officiating. He was born near Old Clinton in Monroe county May 25, 1842, married Miss Jennie Bragg, and after her death Miss Mary Bragg, who is now his widow, and an excellent lady.

Harrison, was long a citizen of this vicinity. Two of the sons and three daughters of Chas. Harrison, brothers and sisters of the subject of this sketch, still live, viz: Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Fitzpatrick of this county, Mrs. E. A.
