Harry Elmer Freeman was a son of Perez M. Freeman and Mary Snow Freeman of Worcester, Massachusetts. His family moved to Tupper Lake as a child. After his marriage to Lillian Duckett, they moved to Coreys. He was a trapper and Adirondack guide. I was told he guided Fritz Kreisler (violinist, 1875-1962) and Teddy Roosevelt. He guided in the same area as my father, Ross C. Freeman (fishing and hunting). This was the main source of income.

Comments

The Freeman's are descended from John Freeman (1570-1622) a haberdasher in St. Ann BlackFriars, London, England, and his son Samuel (1595-1646) who lived the last part of his life in Watertown, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Freeman genealogy is fairly extensive on geni.com, and was documented in an 1875 book by Frederick Freeman. It is archived online here: https://archive.org/details/freemangenealogy1875free/page/n4
