Meet our
Resident of the Month
Robert was born in August 1917, to Lula Jane
and Leonard Harris of Osceola. Growing up,
he had two sisters, Nadine and Veneta, and
one brother, William.
Robert and his family lived in Osceola, but
later the family moved between Appleton City
and Lowry City. In 1935, he graduated from
Osceola High School and worked the local
grocery and feed store.
In 1940, Robert met and eventually married
his beautiful wife, Mable Viola Winn. Shortly
after they married, the couple move to Kansas
City, where he helped build Sunflower O. In
1943, Robert enlisted in the Army and was stationed in the South Pacific.
Robert was later discharged from Fort Leonard Wood.
For many years, Robert worked at Millgrams Grocery in Kansas City. He
always enjoyed working in the grocery business. During this time, Mabel
worked at WHB radio and also in the banking industry. “We worked hard and
long hours,” Robert said with a smile. “So we didn’t have a lot of free time.”
Because of this, Robert and Mable always looked forward to their vacations.
They were fortunate enough to be able to travel the United States.
In their spare time, the couple enjoyed dancing, going to parties, and eating
out. Robert was a member of the Lions Club, is a lifetime member of the
American Legion, and has been a part of the Masons for more than 50 years.
In 2011, Robert was crowned the Community Springs Valentine’s Ball
King. Robert participates in as many activities at Community Springs as he
can. At Community Springs, he enjoys his life and doing things with his
friends. Thank you Robert for being our resident of the month and sharing
your story with us.
