    Notes 
    • Doesn’t appear to be listed in the WWI draft registrations. Perhaps he had already enlisted by that time.

      In the 1920 census, a 23 year-old Harry O. Lee is listed as a “Lodger”, apparently with the family of Charles Johnson, in the Omak precinct of Okanogan County, Washington. Harry is listed as a wage-earning “farmer” on a “fruit farm.” He is shown as being born in Minnesota, as was his father, and his mother is shown as being born in Norway.

      Harry lived almost next door to his brother Floyd at the time of the 1930 census.

      Harry O. Lee and his family lived at 118 North 2nd Avenue W. in Omak, Okanogan County, Washington, at the time of the 1930 census in April of 1930. Harry owned his home, worth $2500. The household did not have a radio. The household: Harry O., 33 (married at age 29, born in N. Dakota but his father is shown as born in Wisconsin (?)), his wife Gladys E., 23 (married at 19, born in Washington but her father born in Tennessee and her mother in Oregon), their son, Burton O., age 2 and 9 months, born in Washington. Harry is an assistant clerk in the post office, he is employed, and he is a veteran, having fought in the World War.

      In the 1940 census, he and his family live in Omak at a house they own worth $2500. This was the same house that they all lived in in 1935. Harry and Gladys were both high school graduates. Harry was a postal clerk for the Post Office.

      Harry registered for the World War II draft in 1942. At that time, he was living in Omak, Washington, and working for the post office. He gave his brother Floyd as the “person who will always know your address.”
