    Notes:

    From the autobiography of Marjorie Puffer Field:

    "On the way home from my high school senior reception, Harris asked me if I would accept a diamond on my 18th birthday.  What a thrill!  Oh, how could I wait until August 30th and keep it a secret.  It was just as well that I was leaving the next morning for Eagle Camp.  Those ten weeks would seem endless to me now.  For high school graduation he had given me a beautiful, silver necklace with some family, Egyptian scarabs for a present.  My one request, and a hard one for him, was to tell my parents before he gave me the diamond.  I knew they were not going to approve of our engagement.   Harris gave me my diamond ring as we sat on the rocks beside Lake Champlain on August 30, 1930.

    What a tempest was stirred up when I came home wearing that ring.  My two maiden aunts, Fran and Lucy, were my main stays in those hard days.  They highly approved of Harris and finally convinced Mother to accept the fact that I was grown up and not the student that my sisters were.

    Even Aunt Lucy told me she wished she were younger so she could try for Harris, as she liked him so much.  Grandpa Rice knew Harris before his death in 1927 and thought he was a fine young man.  To me, Harris was as near as fine a man as my grandfather, who always was my idol."

    She was town clerk for Berlin and later worked as assistant town clerk for 23 years, in an office in her home. She moved to West Newbury, Mass., in 1968. In 1982, she moved first to Corvallis and then to McMinnville.
