HARRISON, Green L. - Obituary - Green L. Harrison was born in East Tennessee April 16, 1812 and died at the residence of his son in Washington County, Arkansas October 15, 1885, aged a little over 73 years.

Eight days ago I attended the funeral of Uncle John Morrow on Cove Creek, and today I attend that of another old and good citizen, Green L. Harrison. Mr. Harrison came to Arkansas in 1834 when he was a young man and worked in a tanyard in Cane Hill with James Mitchell. In 1835 he united in marriage with Mrs. Myra Dyer, who survives him, and made his home on Cove Creek road near Sulphur Springs. There he reared his family, two sons and two daughters. The elder son, James, died from a wound received in the battle of Mark's Mill; the others are living and doing well in the world. In 1848 he made profession of religion and joined the Methodist church, in which he was a faithful and earnest member until death. - F.R. Earle
