About Henry Rossman Harris:
From the Marie Key book: Henry left home at 16 and his brothers and sisters never heard from him
more than twice after he left. It is surmised that he was killed in the San Francisco earthquake of
1906, as his last letter was from San Francisco about that time.
However, from Lorene Harris
Read: "I found his World War I draft registration and census records. He was living in Los Angeles
in 1930. He must have died between 1930 and 1940 as those are the dates that there is no index for
CA deaths."
