Hugh Galbraith Harrison (April 23, 1822 – August 12, 1891) was a real estate investor and banker who served as the second mayor of Minneapolis, Minnesota. ==Life and career== Harrison was born in 1822 in Belleville, Illinois. While growing up he helped his father and older brothers who were involved in the milling business before attending college at McKendree University. In 1847 he married Irene Amelia Robinson. In 1859 he and two of his brothers relocated to Minneapolis, Minnesota where they invested in property as well as businesses including the First National Bank of St. Paul, the St. Paul & Sioux City Railroad and the Joseph Dean & Company lumber company. In 1868 Harrison was elected as the second mayor of Minneapolis, serving from 1868 to 1869.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/mayor/mayor-history )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://electiontrendsproject.org/search/search.php?candidate=54 )〕 There are few details of his term — sources note his administration was "businesslike"〔 and "careful, capable and clean."〔 Harrison's wife Irene died in 1876. He remarried in 1877 to Elizabeth Wood Hunt. That same year Harrison and his brothers took their profits and organized the Security Bank, one of the early city's largest financial institutions. Harrison served as the bank's vice president from 1877 to 1887 and as president from 1887 until his death.〔〔 Harrison died on August 12, 1891. He is buried at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=harrison&GSfn=hugh&GSmn=g&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSob=n&GRid=25646888&df=all& )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hugh G.
