JOHN H. HARRIS, banker, Beardstown; was born in Cornwall, 
England, April 4, 1833, and came with his parents to the 
United States in 1838, first going to Louisville, and in 
1840 removing to the Sangamon Bottoms.  In 1854, our 
subject entered McKendree College, where he remained three 
years, and then took a course at a commercial college in 
Philadelphia, from which he graduated in 1858, and at once 
entered the office as bookkeeper for John Gregg, afterward 
becoming agent for the sale of that gentleman's lands in 
Illinois, with headquarters at Beardstown.  In 1864, Mr. 
Harris also entered the lumber business for five years, and 
the dry goods trade at the same time.  In 1877, he became 
stockholder at the organization of the People's Bank, was 
elected its first president, and has filled that position 
ever since.  In Lebanon, this State, in 1860, he married 
Miss Phebe Padon, who bore him five children, and died in 
1873.  In May, 1875, he married Mrs. Ann Tull, widow of 
David Tull, and two children have blessed this union.  He
