She met Newton Claypool, possibly while caring for his wife and after she died in 1920, Harriet became his nurse and records show her as Domestic help at his California residence. They were married on Aug 30 1923 in Maine and he died in November, 1923. Newton Claypool was a very wealthy Business Developer and Investor, and traveled the world investing and growing his wealth. It was rumored that he left a large portion of his wealth to Harriet. She returned to Musquodoboit, and in 1929 she purchased and donated to the Lodge the seats from an old theatre in Halifax (The Majestic Theatre, formerly The Academy of Music), which was being torn down. At the same time, along with the seats, she purchased a large scenic drop curtain which had been used as a backdrop for a final performance at the Majestic that same year. The backdrop was a rare piece of stage art that had been painted in 1892 by one of the finest Canadian scenic artists of the 19th century, William Gill. The backdrop is still hanging in the Lodge (currently the Bicentennial Theatre) in Middle Musquodoboit. She remained living in her parents home with her sister Evelyn, which her father "Merchant John" Higgins built about 1860. The home has long been known as the Claypool House and is still called that to this day.
