No doubt there are many stories to be told re this Subject title, but this one struck me as one worth passing around a bit. If you are a compassionate person, and since you are genealogists, you have to be compassionate persons to pursue as you do. I think you will enjoy reading this one as I did: Ref. The HERALD, Everett, WA. Date: Thursday, November 20, 2003 Section: Main page Site: http://www.heraldnet.com/about Article: For better, for snowier Snohomish couple refuse to let weather stand in way By Jennifer Warnick, Herald Writer PIX captioned: Despite a last-minute scramble, Allison Harris and Joseph Evens enjoy their wedding Wednesday in Snohomish. The great picture of them was taken by Justin Best/ The Herald COMMENT: The couple, both, are in service and with the same outfit. He is to go overseas, she perhaps later. They've been together ever since "about fourth grade." and good Ol' Snohomish High where they grad. Recall when I said that I had awakened Wednesday morn., snow on the ground approaching the 3+ inches, and at 5:30 the electricity shut down as a result of the storm that ultimately brought snow. This couple's family encountered the results that morning also. Read how the family went to shopping for candles, generators etc. in order for the couple to get married as planned. Then I wonder if this is the HARRIS FAMILY descendants that I used to peddle papers (The Everett Daily Herald, now the HERALD). Probably is and they were a popular family in our small town or village of Snohomish. I think you will enjoy reading this account of the wedding that transpired despite the hurdles that they encountered. But, the really big hurdle ahead is the war. God Bless this couple for their future and let's hope that they have great longevity and add to the genealogy of the Harris Family that so many of us have known over the many years in Snohomish.
