She was confirmed by the Rev. A.C. Korsrud at First Lutheran Church in Glenville, on June 10, 1928. She attended Glenville schools and went to work at an early age as a hired girl, helping out in private homes with cooking, cleaning and caring for children. Harriet and her sister, Charlotte, sang for many funerals and weddings at their church. Harriet married Garfield Fisk on Dec. 22, 1938. They were married at First Lutheran Church in Glenville by the Rev. A.C. Korsrud. They had one daughter, Barbara Jean.
