| Mrs. Willie Lou Harris of 405 Bram Street sits at left with part of her family. Standing left to right are Mrs. James (Georgia Harris) Elvord, Mr. and Mrs. Calvin (Ruth) Harris, with their infant daughter, Charlene Elizabeth. Three other sons, Donald, Charles, and Richard, were not at home when the picture was taken. Mrs. Harris, whose grandfather was a slave, purchased eight building lots in South Madison in the middle of the Depression from her earnings as a domestic and hospital worker so that her five children could have homes of their own when they grew up. |
