He was born in London, England, in 1851, and is a son of Charles A. and Ann (Tyndall) Harrison, who were natives of England, born in 1833 and 1836 respectively. Charles lived in London at the time of his marriage, and was a wholesale groceryman. He came to the United States in 1859, locating in Memphis, Tenn., where he continued his former business. He died in 1867. His widow is yet living, and resides with her son Lewis. She was the mother of four children, three of whom are living: Charles, who lives in St. Louis, Mo., and is a traveling salesman; Julia and Lewis our subject, who came to the United States with his parents, and was educated in an Episcopal private school at Memphis. At the age of eighteen, he began clerking in a drug store in Memphis, and continued that occupation about three years. In 1874 he established a drug store of his own in Memphis, meeting with good success. In February, 1876, he wedded Evelyn R., daughter of Judge Wm. R. Harris, of Memphis.
