Harrison's of Berea, Kentucky.

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life and I am feeling so good!  Today is a busy day with the grandsons so I am going to post a picture of the early Harrison family of Berea, Kentucky.  This man, Elisha Harrison Jr. gave up part of his land in Berea so the college could be built there.  He was one of the first trustees of the Berean College.



Back row left to right: Josiah Burdette, his wife, Mary Jane Harrison Burdette, Daniel Harrison, Nettie Burdette, Belle Harrison, Nora Burdette, Delilah Lakes Harrison, wife of Daniel, Mary Lize Johnson Harrison, wife of Isaac Harrison and Isaac Harrison.
Second row: Isaac Davis, Delilah Lakes Harrison wife of Elisha Jr., Elisha Harrison Jr., John Parks widower of Neil Harrison
First row: Nannie Harrison Davis (wife of Isaac Davis) Willie Parks, John Burdette, May Harrison, Rose Parks, Mary Parks, Laura Burdette, Charlie Burdette, Martha Hays Harrison (wife of John) John Harrison holding Bess Harrison.

Photo was taken around 1890 at Old Harrison home place on Silver Creek near where Dresser Factory is now in Berea.
