Lived in Mis' Harris rooming house in 1934. Rented a shed from Sade for 15 cents a month; used it for more than 3 months and only paid one month's rent. Liked to sit in the shed in the evenings and smoke his pipe. Road his bike on the Gook grass even after being asked by Sade not to do so.

Confused City Calistoker. Came to Gook house and delayed them as they were about to leave. Confused Rush with Vic twice. Mis' Harris didn't believe who he was and wouldn't open the door for him. Remains confused. He's lost his eye glasses and insists that Sade's name is "Mrs. Emerson." Came over and again confused Sade with Mrs. Emerson. Had an iron notebook with him. Thinks Mr. Sprawl is the son of Vic and Sade. Refers to Vic, Uncle Fletcher and Mr. Sprawl all by the wrong names - he even thinks Mr. Sprawl is the "lady of the house" and calling Sade, "Mr. Montgomery."

Father of Mis' Harris. Is afraid of Uncle Fletcher for the simple fact that he continually tries to help him back to his house, even though he's trying to go to the grocery store. His first name is "Mervin." Brought back some embroidery hoops his daughter, Mis' Harris, had borrowed. Born in Boston. Also claims to be born in Syracuse, New York, St. Louis, Missouri, Baltimore, Maryland, Lebanon, Indiana and Somerset, Kentucky. Wears baby bonnets he gets in the mail from Syracuse. He also has a water-proof baby bonnet, which he got from Toledo, Ohio. Bought an attention-getting siren (whistle) for alerting his daughter when he wants soup or nuts with chocolate smeared on the outside; twice blew it in the kitchen when the Thimble Club meeting was in progress, alerting Sade. Claims to be born in Toledo, Ohio and Bismarck, North Dakota.

Janitor for the Bright Kentucky Hotel. Was invited to Hank Gutstop's dinner party. Also works as the handyman at the hotel. Used to live in Philadelphia. Is somehow involved in the Hyena Grease business with Uncle Fletcher (in several episodes is trying to remove the odor from the grease.) Sade is under the impression that he and Vic are very good friends (they aren't.) Sade saw him shopping at Yamilton's when they had a big sale. Tried to sell a mother-of-pearl box containing a pink, plush album to Uncle Fletcher. According to Uncle Fletcher, he has imaginary brother. Mentioned by Uncle Fletcher as a person who is known to sleep on the courthouse lawn during the warmer weather. Was a roomer at Mis' Harris' house for a while. She was going to sue him for not paying his rent.

A [probable] lawyer that lives at Mis' Harris' rooming house. Mis' Harris doesn't trust him with delivering soup; is afraid he will put it in his radiator! Has a car; was to go through Dixon and was to drop off Uncle Fletcher there. He got Mr. Cameron out of jail. Weighs about 200 pounds. Born in Sweet Esther, Wisconsin. Owned a broken-down motorcycle that he tried to give to Russell.
