Thank you for the reply. My name is Bonnie and I am working on my family tree, my children
have asked me to work on their Dad's side of the family, which is HARRIS. I am
interested in the following from the 1880 census listed with your Amos Carlise, as I think
we may have a connection here.
Alzina Harris (Dau) married age 31 born in Vermont she is a weaver parents from Vermont
Susan Harris (GDau) age 11 born in Ne she is at school parents from Vt
Fred Harris (GSon) age 8 born in Ne he is at school parents from Vt
Evidently Alzina is married to a man named HARRIS. In my family tree I have a Fred Harris
b: Sept 1872 in Nebraska and died possibly Feb 1924 in Douglas Cnty Minnesota. He was
married to a woman named Kate (Katherine) b: May 1872 in Minnesota not death ate as yet.
My Fred & Katherine Harris are found on the 1900, 1910 & 1920 Minnesota
census' as follows:
Osakis Villiage Todd Cnty June 1 1900 census enumeration dist 191 super dist 6 (pg 2)

estate agent

though she is from North Carolina parents from North Carolina she is a teacher looks like
Music & she is M1 (married 1st)
Douglas Cnty Osakis Villiage Jan 7-8 1920 (pg 9) Enumeration dist 45 supervisor dist 7
Sheet 5A
Fred J (age 48) from Nebraska Father from New York Mother from Vermont Agent Real
Estate
Katie R (age 47) wife from Minnesota Parents from Wales
Fredrick I? (age 17) son single From Minnesota
Evelyn A (age 14) daughter single from Minnesota
I think that Alzina Harris' son, Fred Harris, may be the Fred Harris listed as the
father in these 3 census records. My mother in law has confirmed that family in the 1920
census is our HARRIS line, but I have not been able to get back any further than this.
Here is what I have on my HARRIS line at the moment and I hope that it fits with your
Alzina Carlisle Harris line.
Unknown Harris b: New York & m: Unknown b:Vermont
had a son:
Fredrick (Fred) Harris b: Sept 1872 in NE
d: possible 1924 in Douglas Cnty Minnesota. He married abt: 1896 a Katie (Katherine) no
last name b: May 1872 in Minnesota d: possible Oct 1937 in Douglas Cnty Minnesota. Fred
& Katie Harris had possibly 3 children:
Evelyn A Harris b: abt 1905-1906 d: possible Oct 1926 in Douglas Cnty Minnesota (her
middle name many have been Alzina) (confirmed sister of my Fred (Ted) Harris line)
Almond R Harris b: July 1897 no other info
Fredrick I (Ted) Harris b: 1901-1903 d:Sept 2 1954 in Osakis Todd Cnty Minnesota (death
date confirmed by family)
Fredrick I (Ted) Harris marrid Elva Lunceford b: Aug 17 1902 in Osakis Minnesota d: March
8 1991 in Osakis Minnesota. They had 3 sons:
Jack Harris no dates but he has died
Richard Almon Harris b:Dec 1921 in Minnesota d: Oct 1986 in Alexandria Minnesota
Robert James Harris b: Feb 2 1930 in Crookston Minnesota d:June 1998 in Osakis Minnesota
(this is my father in law)
To this point does anything fit with your Alzina Carlisle Harris?
I have a bit more on the living HARRIS line that I can share with you .
I look forward to hearing from you
Bonnie
