Biography

James Walter "Jim" Harmon was born October 20, 1880 to Elias Harmon and Nancy Jackson in Chambers County, Alabama.[1]

He married Carrie Lindsey on July 1, 1900 in Chambers County, Alabama.[2]

Mr. Jim Harmon informs us that some pilfering skallawag stole several hundred pounds of seed cotton Sunday night from the verandah of his residence. We learn that he has struck a hot track, and if he gets the right one he will not deal gently with him as far as the law is concerned.[3]

Chiggerville - Our genial friend, Mr. Jim Harmon is building a handsome residence on his premises, and when completed, will be an ornament to Chiggerville. Jim is a thrifty farmer, a good citizen and there is no one here who can beat him on the chicken business.[4]

Chiggerville - Mr. Jim Harmon, one of Chiggerville’s hustling farmers and rattling good citizens, is progressing nicely with his residence, and when completed, it will present a handsome and tidy appearance. Buried in Macedonia, Chambers Co, AL[5]
