During the depression, they borrowed $300 as a ten per cent down payment on an 80 acre farm on the seventh concession of Goderich Township. They had one horse and two cows. Times were tough. Mr. Harris had to completely rebuild the house and barn and the couple had five children to feed at the time. "We came through it with a lot of hard work," recalls Mrs. Harris. After 23 years on the farm, they moved to Goderich where Mr. Harris worked for Champion Road Machinery Ltd. from 1957- 61. He next worked as a bar steward at Legion Branch 109 for seven years before retiring. Mr. and Mrs. Harris now live in the senior citizen's apartment building on West Street in Goderich.
