	William J. Harris
		William J. Harris was born in Henry county, Tennessee, December 25, 1857, and is one of the most prominent and widely known pioneers of western Texas, closely connected with its history and development from the early days of the stage coach and other evidences of frontier existence.
		Harris was appointed deputy collector of customs at Lanoria, Arizona, on the Mexican border and filled that position for three years, when he was transferred to El Paso as mounted inspector of the customs department.
		Harris by reason of his connection with the old state lines formed a very wide acquaintance in western Texas and is today one of its representative and honored citizens with a circle of friends almost co- extensive with the circles of his acquaintance.
