HARRISON COLLIER, an old pioneer and prominent farmer of Vernon Township,
was born March 4, 1813, being the youngest of a family of ten children
born to John and Cathandrew (Crook) Collier.  The parents came from
Kentucky to this State in about 1814, settling first in Clark County and
afterward in Washington County.  They were of English descent.  Harrison
did not have much advantage of schooling, but managed to secure a fair,
practical education.  He remained home with his parents until their
deaths, the father's occuring in 1831, the mother's in 1844.  On the 13th
of September, 1832, his marriage with Nancy Stephenson was solemnized, and
to their untion have been born twelve children, eight of whom are now
living:  Lewis (deceased), Benjamin, Ephraim, Levi (deceased), Elmira,
Nelson, Mary J. (deceased), Thomas (deceased), Druzinda, John, Catharine
and Eli.  He has belonged to the Christian Church since 1836, and
contributes liberally to the support of all public enterprises.  In
politics Mr. Collier is a stanch Democrat, and takes a fair interest in
the political questions of the day.  By occupation he is a farmer and
stock-raiser, in which pursuits he has made a decided success.
