    3. ALBERT M. and OLA RICHARDSON HARRIS FAMILY BOOK This is a book written by the late Lester Lee Harris. Lester was an early member of Harris Hunters newsletter (#62) and passed away (June of 2000) a few years after he finished his book in 1996. The book follows the line of Thomas(1) F. Harris and Susan Conway of Virginia; Silas(2) and Elizabeth Harris; Matthew(3) Y. Harris and Frances Louisa Foster and Albert(4) Matthew Harris 1882-1932 and his wife Ola M. Richardson (1887-1966) of Arkansas and Oklahoma. The book is more than just a family history. Because Lester spent quite a bit of space writing of his childhood and growing up in a very poor environment in Oklahoma during the Depression and the Dustbowl, the book offers a picture of those days. Thomas(1) Harris and his first wife Susan Conway had 6 children: Orison, John D., Susannah, Marianne, Thomas and Charles Timberly Harris. By his 2nd wife Mary _____? he had Robert Riley Harris and Silas Harris.  The book is a large format (8 1/2 X 11) hard cover book very nicely published, well written and best of all, is well documented. It contains family descendancy charts and has copious amounts of pictures. There are over 375 photographs and almost as many other illustrations, newspaper articles, documents, obituaries and gravestones. It has 509 pages and has an everyname index.
