COLONEL EDWIN HOUSTON HARMAN

1835-1864

IN WHOSE MEMORY HARMAN LODGE WAS NAMED

Colonel Edwin Houston Harman was born February 3, 1835, in the Bluestone Valley, Tazewell County.  He was the son of Erastus Granger Harman, one of the first-born generation of that section of the county.  On the 2^nd of April 1861 he was married to Miss Jennie King at the bride’s home on Back Creek, Pulaski County, Virginia; and a few days thereafter entered the service of the Confederate States as captain of Company A, 45^th Regiment, Virginia Infantry.

 In the spring of 1862 he was promoted to Lieutenant colonel of the regiment.  He was a daring and accomplished soldier and officer; and it was strangely decreed by; fate that he should fall in the battle but a few miles distant from the place where he won his bride three years previously.  On the 9^th of May, 1884 Colonel Harman was mortally wounded at the battle of Cloyd’s Mountain, and died from the wound two days later.  His dust now rests in a Hero’s grave in Thorn Spring Cemetery about six miles west of where he fell in battle.
