He served in the CSA with the 10th Florida Infantry, Company A and was discharged on April 9, 1865 at Appomattox Court House.

Harney married Flora Louise Chase, in Chesterfield, Virginia. A CSA soldier, Harney was discharged at Appomattox and given a pass to return to his home state of Florida. With his discharge pass in hand, Harney left for Florida and was to return to Virginia for his bride. Harney gave his Florida Star to his bride with a promise to return for her. He returned to Florida not knowing his bride was pregnant with a daughter, Marion Genevieve. Flora considered herself a widow when not hearing from Harney after two years. (There is a photo of Marion G. Brown wearing the Florida Star pin.)
