He has many relatives in the area. His great-grandparents Silkirk and Sarah Hilderbrand came to Fort Bidwell, CA by wagon train. Their daughter Celia married George Larimore, Aug. 8, 1882, and had two sons, Christie and Matthew. Celia and George divorced, and Celia married John O'Leary, May 6, 1891. They had several more children. Christie married Mildred May Hanks, whose husband Ira Allen had passed away. The Allens had one son, Rollen. Christie and Mildred had two children, Harry and his sister, Elsie. Harry was born north of Eagleville, California, on July 28, 1921 to Christie Alfred and Mildred May (Hanks) Larimore. At a young age, Harry moved with his family to Likely, Modoc Co., California, where his father owned the Likely Garage. A few years later they moved to Fort Bidwell where Harry attended school, played harmonica in the band, and graduated from Fort Bidwell High School in 1939. After graduation, he worked for Harry Schadler at Cowhead Ranch for four years. In April 1943, he married Ethel Vermillion, and to this union three daughters were born: Mildred Eileen, Mary Ann, and Jane Gayle. Harry entered the Army on November 17, 1943. He performed duties as a rifleman with Company C 104th Infantry in the European Theater. He used an M-1 rifle in combat, firing upon enemy positions, and became familiar with the use and care of all small arms and hand-to-hand fighting techniques while participating in the Northern France and Rhineland Campaigns. He also served as a truck driver, driving 2-ton trucks, hauling supplies from the beach-head to the front lines. Harry was awarded medals for Good Conduct, Victory Medal, American Theater Service Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Service Medal, and Combat Infantryman Badge. From injuries received in France, he was awarded the Purple Heart. Harry was honorably discharged in April, 1946 and returned to Alturas where he worked for the local lumber mills, the peat moss plant in Jess Valley and drove school buses until he purchased his first backhoe and began contracting backhoe work throughout the county. He was a member of the Operating Engineers Union. In 1974, he sold his backhoe to Heard Plumbing and worked there for the next 25 years. Ethel and Harry were married until 1971.
