Mr. Harlan was a Civil War Veteran, and well known in Grand Army circles. He was a member of the Thirty-first O. V.

      He was a nephew of the late Hon. Harlan, who owned over fifteen hundred acres of land near Yellow Springs, and built upon it the house now owned and occupied by Mr. E. S. Kelly.
