Carson, known by “Curt,” was born on July 20, 1939 in Jefferson City to the late Robert and Clemmie Harris. Curt attended Nelson Mary High School in Jefferson City. As an adult, Curt lived in several areas over the years and finally made roots in Morristown when he married Cleo Davis Harris on September 1, 1978.

Over the years, Curt worked at Lee’s Factory, International Paper, Mr. Clean and Kawasaki Tennessee Inc., from where he retired February 20, 2017. A dedicated and longtime member and deacon of Rock of Ages Baptist Church, he played an integral part of the leadership at the Rock.
