My parents were Elmo and Ruth Harrison. They came to Rifle in 1922 after my Dad,who was a veteran, finished carpentry training in Longmont, CO. My sister Shirley Jean Harrison, was born on May 10, 1922. I , Ruth Marie Harrison, was born on November 2, 1926 in a house my Dad built in what was then north Rifle. It overlooked Rifle Creek, which was a free flowing stream, sometimes flooding.The house was still there about three years ago. It had been added onto, resided, but was still recognizable. My brother, Kenneth Elmo Harrison, was born on January 5, 1936,in a house on the south side of the river. It was still there also.

Built by Elmo Harrison in 1926, I think about 10th E in Rifle, CO The effects of flooding of Rifle Creek.
