My Father, Joseph R. Roe, deceased in 1978, took over Joseph R Harison's law practice
in 1939; my name is Joseph Harrison Roe; I believe my Father's mother's name was
married; married, i believe at least 3 times; second marriage was to a Canadian, Merle
Roe. She is buried in Columbia City under name of Mary Richards.
My Father was raised a lot by his Grandfather as his Mother, was an organist and traveled
a lot to play at theaters to accompany the silent films.
Joseph R Harrison was a lover of flowers; had acreage going out of Columbia City and it
was filled with prixed Peonies and Iris; he even raised Shetland ponies to the circus
people who would travel into the city; when he died, there is an obituary notice remark
that the pres. Church was filled to the rafters by well wishers statewide with memorials
of flowers...
i believe that for a short duration, he and Thomas M Marshall practiced law together.
