EDWARD H. HARRIS
Among the well-known representatives of the farming interests of Sutter County is Edward H. Harris, whose farm consists of 240 acres devoted to general farming, and the raising of grain and rice. His success has been won by energetic effort, and the prosperity that has come to him is well deserved. His farm is a portion of the old home place of his parents, where he was born on January 20, 1873, a son of Suel and Susan (Robinson) Harris, natives of Maine and England, respectively. The mother was first married to J. T. Farrin, and they came to Sutter County. They were the parents of three children, all now deceased. Subsequently Mrs. Farrin was married to Suel Harris, who came to California in 1856 via Panama, and engaged in mining on the Yuba River, later farming in the Slough district of Sutter County. He purchased a ranch of 1250 acres one mile south of Harkey's Corners, where he farmed until his death. Seven children were born to them: Susie, now Mrs. Lysell, residing on a portion of the home place; Elizabeth, Mrs. Masten, in Yuba City; Edward H., of this sketch; William; Ella, deceased; Suel; and Elsie, now Mrs. Marion M. Stegmere, living on a portion of the old Harris place. The father passed away on January 18, 1917, aged eighty years; and the mother was fifty-six years old when she died. Edward H. Harris was educated in the Grant district school, and from early boyhood was associated with his father.
Mr. Harris' first marriage occurred in Yuba City in 1897, and united him with Miss Lela Stegmere, a native of Sutter County and a daughter of Fred and Laura Stegmere. Two children were born to them, Clarence E. and Margaret Evelyn, the wife of Clarence L. Putman, a rancher near Sutter, and the mother of two sons, Everett L. and Orlin. On October 5, 1911, Mr. Harris was married to Miss Addie Schlag, also a native of Sutter County, daughter of John and Josephine (Whyler) Schlag, whose sketch will also be found in this history. Mr. and Mrs. Harris are liberal as well as enterprising and take pleasure in dispensing the good, old-time hospitality.
