Husband of Mary Anna Hutchinson Harmon

The Versailles Policy
12-7-1911

John Harmon was born in Mifflin County, Pa., Sept. 13, 1829. He was married to Mary Hutchinson, Sept. 21, 1847, to which union were born four sons and one daughter.
In 1854 he moved to Ohio with his family, locating in Darke County near where the town of Bradford now is.
In Sept. 1861 he entered the military service as a member of Co. B, 44th, Regt. O.V.I. He served faithfully in the ranks, having no aspiration of official promotion, and was honorably discharged from the service after going through all the battles, marches and hardships of that regiment.
Two of his sons and the daughter departed this life some years ago and their mother soon followed them to that realm from which none return.
After leading a lonely life for several years, on December 13, 1896 he was married to Mrs. G. Hamilton who died June 9, 1904.
From the time of his birth to his departure, 82 years, 2 months and 15 days came and went and with the last fading day his life ended and his spirit took its flight into the great unknown. He was sincere and true in his friendship, honest and upright in his dealings with his fellowman, trustworthy as a comrade in the army, and a citizen loyal and patriotic, in disposition usually cheerful, and always careful to avoid interfering with the affairs of others.
To mourn his death there remain his two sons, 7 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and many other more remote relatives.
His remains were conveyed to Gettysburg last Thursday, to the home of his son, where funeral services were held at 2 o'clock, buy Rev. Kennedy of Versailles. Interment in the Gettysburg cemetery by J.B. Miller of that place.
