He was educated in the Penacook public schools, and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was married April 17, 1907, to Edith Belle Sherburne of Canaan. She died Oct. 9, 1921. There were no children. From an early age Mr. Harris was associated with the Harris Woolen Mill, built by his grandfather, Almon Harris, in 1847, and subsequently operated by his father, Ezra Sheldon Harris. He learned the business by practical work in the mill, becoming superintendent at the death of his father, on March 22, 1893, when the mill was incorporated under the name of the Dustin Island Woolen Mills. Mr. Harris, with the help of his brother, Almon G. Harris, treasurer of the corporation, at once inaugurated extensive improvements and increased the capacity of the mill. In 1906 Mr. Arthur B. Emery became an associate partner, and the corporation bought the Quechee Mill, at Quechee, Vermont, owned by the J. C. Parker Co. It was successfully operated until 1911, when a new company was organized, under a charter from the State of Vermont, and was incorporated under the name of the Harris-Emery Co. The Harris-Emery Co. purchased the capital stock of the Dustin Island Woolen Mills at Penacook, and Mr. Harris was elected President of the new corporation. The Harris-Emery Co. opened offices and salesrooms in New York City, for the distribution of their products, under the management of Mr. Arthur B. Emery. In 1914-1916 additions were made to the Quechee Mill, and in 1923 a large addition was built to the Penacook Mill, practically doubling its capacity. In politics, he was a staunch Republican, and for several years was Moderator of the town. Mr. Harris was a Master of the Grange, and a charter member of the Union Club at Penacook. He was prominent in Masonic affairs, being a member of Horace Chase Lodge, Xo. 72. F. & A. M., of Penacook, Trinity Chapter, Horace Chase Council, and Mt. Horeb Commandery, Knights Templar, at Concord, and New Hampshire Consistory at Nashua, 32nd degree. He was also a Past Grand of Contoocook Lodge, I. (). O. F., and a member of Hannah Dustin Rebekah Lodge. In religion, he was associated with the Congregational Church. Mr. Harris died July 4. 1923.
