In 1918 he accepted a job printing anti draft pamplets. Court records confirm that he was not at the rally, was too old for the WWI draft and owned and ran an electrial shop. He was arrested for "conspiriing against the government" and sent to Leavenworth Federal Prison. There were 27 people that just attended the rally including three women who also sent to Leavenworth. So...watch out for those side jobs, you just never know. An artical on him appeared in "Mother Earth" magazine which questioned the rights of these people.
As a teenager of the Viet Nam War, I really understand now how important that our freedom to gather and to speak freely is to us as a nation. So I am both sorry for Uncle Harry and proud of him. But, it did ruin his life.
I sent for his prison records, which show everything from who wrote to him, who he wrote to, how many times he went to the Infirmery. Ect. He continued to be a good person even in prison. You were treated unfairly in a country that prides itself in appearing to be just. Today, with Viet Nam behind us, you would have been a hero. The charge against you was "conspireing to over throw the goverment". What a crock!

When Uncle Harry died he was alone. He had a habit of going by a stock broker firm just to visit. He did it for quite sometime because the were so concerned why he had stopped that they went looking for him. He still had friends!!!
