HARRISON C. ROLLINS, who is engaged in the loan business in Yates Center, Kas., is a native of Kentucky. He spent his early boyhood under the parental roof until his removal to Kansas whither he came in 1882. For three years he followed agricultural pursuits in Wyandotte County and made some money in the venture. In 1886, however, he removed to Yates Center and entered into relations with J. C. Gray in the real estate and loan business, this connection being maintained until 1887 when he succeeded Mr. Gray in the business, and has since carried on operations along that line alone. He has won a profitable business, and is ever found reliable and trustworthy in all transactions. His political support is given the Democracy. In 1893 he was appointed by Grover Cleveland to the position of postmaster at Yates Center in which capacity he capably served for four years, since which time his attention has been closely devoted to his business affairs in which he is meeting with good success.
