Bio
from Sheila Morring:
"Doctor Giles Edward Harris was born March 15, 1878 near Quitman, Texas,
and died September 14, 1938. He was the son of Andrew Jackson Harris and his wife, Dicia Harris. His
father's people came from North Carolina and his mother's from from Dalton, Georgia, settling in Texas
in what is now Woods County in 1840, when it was a republic (Note: actually it was in the 1850's). He
was educated at Oak Grove, Winnsboro, and Denton, Texas, and at the University of Louisville, taking
his medical education and a Doctor of Medicine degree.
He began the practice of medicine at Boswell,
Indian Territory, in 1905. On April 7, 1908, he was married to Miss Tommie Eastwood. In 1911 he moved
to Hugo, continuing there in the practice of medicine and remaining there so engaged until his death." ....................................................
