| Benjamin Harrison 1805-1852 |
This is the grave marker of my maternal 3x Great Grandfather Benjamin Harrison. It is located in Byrneville Cemetery in Harrison County, Indiana.
It reads:
Benjamin
Harrison
Born Feb 22, 1805
Died Dec 25, 1852
The hand pointing up symbol on the stone has various meanings. Some of which include: 'pathway to heaven', 'the reward of the righteous', 'sudden death' or 'Heavenly reward'.
