General Notes: Husband - James Harrison

He was of Scotch-Irish descent, and was the largest general contractor on the western side of the Allegheny mountains. He built the Allegheny arsenal wall, the Kittanning jail and courthouse and had contracts for many of the courthouses of the state. Among other contracts was the construction of the old Allegheny Valley Railroad. He also did a great deal of cemetery work, being the originator of the stone burial cases. Both he and his wife were ardent workers in the interests of religion, the Thirty-third Street Presbyterian church being organized in the library of their old home in Thirty-third street.
