EVERETT FRED HARRISON, D. D. S.
Dr. Everett Fred Harrison, actively and successfully engaged in
the practice of dentistry in Carlisle, having a thoroughly equipped
office, while his mechanical skill and ingenuity constitutes a splendid
supplement to his scientific knowledge, received his professional degree
in 1916 and through the intervening period has made his home in Carlisle.
He is a native son of Illinois, his birth having occurred in that state,
near Benton, in 1883, his parents being D. F. and LUCY (BELLAMY)
HARRISON. His grandparents in the paternal line were BENJAMIN F. and
MARY (LIPE) HARRISON, who had removed to Illinois from Virginia and were
descended from the famous Harrison family of the Old Dominion. Benjamin
F. Harrison was an own cousin of the elder CARTER HARRISON, for four
terms mayor of Chicago. His wife, MARY (LIPE) HARRISON, removed from
North Carolina to Illinois. The grandparents of Everett F. Harrison in
the maternal line were JOHN D. and MARY (CLINE) BELLAMY of Claiborne
county, Tennessee. On leaving that state they removed to Franklin
county, Illinois, going there soon after the close of the Civil war.
Their daughter, LUCY BELLAMY, was a relative of the noted EDWARD BELLAMY,
author of the widely read book, "Looking Backward," in which were
foretold with absolute precision many of the modern inventions and
improvements which are familiar today. It was about twenty years ago
that Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Harrison came to Arkansas, settling on a farm at
Hazen. In their family were five children: Everett F., of this review;
CHARLES, who is a minister of the gospel located in Chicago; MAUDE, who
is a teacher in the schools of Oregon; HUGH who is engaged in the
automobile business; and CALLIE, deceased.
Everette F. Harrison largely pursued his education at Hazen after
coming to Arkansas and later matriculated at Vanderbilt University at
Nashville, Tennessee for the study of dentistry and won his professional
degree in 1916. He then began practice at Carlisle, where he has now
remained for a period of fourteen years, and his recognized ability and
his increasing skill have brought him to a prominent position in
professional circles, his practice today being extensive.
Dr. Harrison volunteered for service in the World war but was
rejected on account of physical disability. However, he served as
chairman of the Red Cross and also acted as secretary of the committees
having in charge various drives. He married Miss HELEN CARMODY, a
daughter of JAMES and MARY (KELLEHER) CARMODY, and they are widely known
in this section of the state, where they have many friends. Dr. Harrison
is identified with the Modern Woodmen of America and along strictly
professional lines he is connected with the Arkansas State Dental Society
and the National Dental Association. Through the proceedings of these
bodies he keeps in close touch with the trend of professional thought and
scientific investigation and at all times follows the most advanced
methods in his chosen life work.
