My name is Addie Sophia Harris. I was born in 1855 and I'm 26 years old. I live in Newport, Herkimer County, New York, with my Pa and Ma, Randolph and Elizabeth Harris; my three brothers; Augustus, Benjamin, and Charles and my younger sisters, Nettie and Mary. My older sister, Marinda, is married and moved out. Pa has a shop and Charlie teaches school. The rest of us do odd jobs, take care of the cows and do the cooking and housework.
