| Notes |
- L.A. ("Doc") Harris must have been an interesting but pathetic character. He was apparantly addicted to some of the drugs to which he had access in his practice--JET thinks it was heroin. At any rate he went for a cure in the early 1940's according to a letter in a Christmas card from Grace Eugenia McLeod Taylor to her son Aubrey. JET recalls visiting the Harris family in the early 1950's when Doc "was very high and an embarrassment to all."
ABT recalled the days when Doc was courting Eleanor and came to the JBT farm for a Sunday dinner. His mother served homemade pineapple ice cream. Something had gone wrong with the dish making it very bitter, but Doc manfully ate it to make a good impression on the family!
In the 1950's Doc and Eleanor came home one night to find burglars in their home. They were tied up and left that way until Eleanor was able to get loose and summon help.
Years later one of their daughters was murdered by her divorced husband. A grandchild was injured, and another may have been killed in the same incident.
