CAPT. JOHN HARRISON.
A telegram was received here Tuesday from Louisville, Ky., announcing the death of Captain John S. Harrison, more familiarly known as “Captain Jack” Harrison, who was born and raised in Martinsburg. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr. Harrison joined Company D, Second Virginia Infantry, Stonewall Brigade, which was organized in this city by Colonel Nadenbousch.

Soon after the close of the war Captain Harrison moved to Louisville, at which place he became manager of the Standard Oil Company’s office, which position he held at the time of his death. He was 55 years old. Death was caused by paralysis.
Mr. Harrison was twice married. His second wife, with two daughters by his first wife, and two sons and a daughter by his second wife, survive him.
