The Moses family were heavily involved with their relatives and fellow members of the Shaker church. They lived mainly in the Upper Skagit area, around Marblemount. They spent a good deal of time with the Anderson family. Vi Hilbert in Haboo wrote that her, and her parents, visited quite often because her parents thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company. She wrote, “I loved to listen in. Harry had a wonderful sense of humor, which was well known. He loved to tell stories and his audience knew that they could count on him to embellish the facts, with a twinkle in his eyes. Why, Harry saw the eyes of the woman in the moon, and the fish he caught in the Cascade river behind his house were so big that when he lifted them onto his shoulder, the tails would drag far behind him on the ground.
Harry died on October 24, 1955 in Sedro-Woolley.

Some of the Stories he told were:
