MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM HARRIS

My father, William (Bill ) Harris, was born in Cassel, Ontario, Canada in 1879. He moved to Wisconsin where he met and married Pearl Kramer. They moved to Baker in 1910 when my older brothers were small. Their first home was a 12x24-foot cabin on a homestead five miles south of Baker on Deep Creek. Their neighbors were the Moscrips, the Hamiltons and the Coldwells. The first winter was hard on my mother, as many times she was stranded due to the cold and snow. One time she ran out of coal and had to walk across the fields to the nearest neighbor carrying Bill, who was quite small and trying to help Don and Norman through the deep snow. With below zero temperature and a strong wind blowing, she was lucky to have made it. My dad was working in Baker and could not make it home because of the deep snow. He hauled mail and express for many years with a wagon or sled. Many people will remember the two little black Missouri mules, Jack and Pete, that he drove. When the dray line graduated to trucks, the mules were sold and that was a sad day in our house. We had them so long, they were like part of the family.
When the boys were school age, my folks moved to town into a shack by the old Creamery, across the tracks from the depot, and later down the street to the house that I was born in.
My mother and my aunt, Lena Marks, owned the Harris and Marks Dress Shop which was first located on Main Street next to the Baker Hotel and then in the building where the Dry Cleaning Shop is now located. They sold out in 1934 because of Aunt Lena's poor health. In 1936, my folks bought the News Stand between Russell's store and Lawler's Drug and my mother ran it until her death in 1939.
My childhood years in Baker were happy times, bicycle riding, sleigh rides, swimming in and skating on the Baker Lake, County Fairs, Chautauguas, picnics at Medicine Rocks, dances in the Legion Hall and the usual school activities. Since my sports activities were somewhat limited by a growth under my knee cap when I was 12, my extra curricular activities were mostly in the music field - piano, band (in which I played the tuba) and Glee Club. Highlights of those years were the trips we made to Music Festivals at Glendive, Montana, basketball games and etc.
I had five brothers; Donald, Norman, Bill, Roger and Lloyd. Don worked in the Keirle Garage and later for the Mountain States Power Company. He passed away in 1967 in Casper, Wyoming where he was District Manager for Pacific Power and Light Company. Norman went into the Army and after his discharge from the service, worked many years at the Ordinance Depot at Fort Lewis near Tacoma, Washington, until his death in 1965. Bill is currently working for the Montana Dakota Utilities Company at the Cabin Creek booster plant at Baker. Roger is driving truck in Alaska and brother Lloyd was killed during World War 11.
I attended school in Baker, elementary through high school. When I graduated from High School in 1938, 1 worked in the News Stand and as an usher in the Lake Theater for one year and went to Billings, Montana to attend Beauty School. In February of 1940 I was offered a job in a Beauty Shop in Seward, Alaska. When I phoned to tell my dad, he felt it was too far away and not at all sure it was a move I should make. He and Lloyd arrived in Billings the next morning and Don and his family arrived that afternoon. Don and Lloyd thought it was a great opportunity and we finally convinced my dad. The only time I had any misgivings about the trip was when the Alaska Steamship that I was on left Seattle and I could no longer see my brother Norman standing on the dock. For the next few minutes I was completely alone and then a sales lady who made the trip from Seattle to Seward many times asked if I was traveling alone and within a very short time had introduced me to quite a few other passengers. It was my first trip on a ship and for the next seven days I had a great time visiting the Alaskan villages that the boat stopped at, dancing, playing cards and etc. I arrived in Seward on March 1, 1940. The Beauty Shop was on the ground floor of an apartment building; small but very clean and modern. I worked there until my marriage to Robert Leise on March 10, 1941.
Bob and I went to work for the Civil Aeronautics Agency, now known as the Federal Aviation Administration, as a communicator team in January 1943. We moved to Anchorage, Alaska to begin communications training and in October were sent to Yakutat on the southeast coast of Alaska. In the next eighteen years we moved eight times to various stations from Juneau to Nome and points in between. Some of the stations were in small villages and some were completely isolated.
I taught our oldest daughter first grade by Calvert Correspondence Course because at the time we were living at Moses Point in the Bering Sea where there was no school. The next year we transferred to Nome so the two oldest girls would have a school to go to. We had to order staple groceries to last a year so they could be brought in by boat before the port froze over. Any fresh groceries that we got had to be flown in as it was the only means of transportation. Needless to say, they were rather expensive.
In 1960 we moved back to Anchorage and stayed there for the next seven years, while the girls finished high school. Roberta, the youngest of the four, graduated in 1966. In 1967, with all the girls grown and living in the "South 48" we decided to give it a try too. Bob transferred with FAA to Washington D.C. and we are currently living just across the Potomac River from D.C. in Alexandria, Virginia at 19 East Myrtle Street. End of Article
