He was 50 years old, single and the head of household in a home rented for $7 a month. Living with him were his sister Maggie (age 45, single), brother Frank (age 40, single) and Edward Mattson (age 40, single). They did not own a radio. He and Frank worked as laborers; roommate Edward Mattson was a clerk at the pool hall. Harry was born in Minnesota as were his siblings; both their parents were born in Ohio. Edward and his folks were all born in Norway and as a consequence he spoke both English and Norwegian.
