JOSHUA OVERTON HARRISON.
The subject of this sketch is my
friend, Joshua Overton Harrison.
He was born November 26, 1852, and
passed quietly away on February 8,
1916. He lived his three score and
three as devotedly as any man of his
day.
He was a member of the Method
ist church and one of the most punct
ual in his attendance at church and
Sunday school. No other society ap
pealed to him. I have heard him
speak of other societies saying he
was satisfied as to their benevolence,
but he had enough to do to attend
to his business and his church.
1 knew Mr. Harrison in the church
and in the field, in social gatherings
and in his home. He was always tie
same. A true follower of the meek
and lowly Jesus.
I knew him in the room with the
sick, passing gently and giving a
kind word of encouragement to the
suffering one. If there was anything
he could do he was ready, willing
and Anxious to render his service.
Sunday schools he did all
he could. I have known him to take
his own fuifds and buy literature
when those funds should have come
from the members.
He was a steward in Ebenezer
church for a number of years and a
more pains-taking or zetalous one
would be hard to find. I have known
him to work in gathering in for the
quarterly meetings when it was too
cold for others to be out.
I would not pass by another po
sition he filled and that was consol
ing. He was good in meeting with
those who had lost a relative or a
friend, in speaking words of comfort
and cheer to the sorrowing ones.
In his family he was kind, affec
tionate and true. He was a devoted
father and husband.
If there was an object of charity
in his community he was the first
to find it and ready to lend his as
sistance. He was a man who ap
preciated a kindness and never un
grateful for favors shown him.
.AS I knew him, I have no fears as
to his reward and that being a place
among the redeemed. We have onlj
to live right and follow our blessed
Lord as he did to again meei with
this departed friend, father and hus
band.
The mother, Mrs. Nancy Harrison
still lives in Jefferson. She in her
maiden day was Miss Nancy Ran
dolph. The father died several years
ago.
Joshua O. Harrison married Miss
Alice Wills February 2, 11885. She
was the daughter of James Wills,
who lived on the Oconee near where
the Mulberry intersects with that
stream. There are two children to
bless this union, Mrs. Susie McDon
ald and Miss Lona May Harrison.
We should not weep for him as one
ljbo has no hope for he sleepeth the
sleep of the righteous.
