CHAPTER XII.

N.P. HARRISON.

Nathaniel P. Harrison was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, December 31, 1831. He was sent to the public school of his locality, and early in life began learning the carpenter's trade. In 1853 he went to Tippecanoe County, Indiana, where he resided for twelve years. He came to Marysville, California, in 1865, and to the town of Colusa in 1867, where he was engaged as a contractor and builder. He began making his permanent abode at Williams in 1882, where he always secured contracts in the erection of the largest buildings in the place. Prominent among these are Stovall's large warehouse, Fouch's drug store building, and Crutcher & Manor's building. Mr. Harrison is a distant relative of President Harrison. He is a prominent member of the Odd Fellows' organization, and about as vigorous and robust in personal appearance as even Virginia can produce or California preserve from looking old.
