The successor to Judge Harvey on the county bench was Hon. W. R. Harrison, one 
of the early practitioners at the Lassen county bar. He was elected county judge 
in October, 1865, holding the position two years. In 1869 he was elected 
district attorney, but died in 1870 before his term had expired. He was a very 
fine scholar, learned in the law, and of exemplary private character. His loss 
was deeply deplored by all who had come within the circle of his friendship.
