Her marriage to Hood was dissolved in 1922 and Paula Drenon Hood then secured employment in Houston, Texas, until 1923, when she married Charles Harmon, who had just been released from the penitentiary at Huntsville, Texas, after serving a sentence for bank robbery. She soon met the associates of her husband, Frank Nash, Verne Miller and Herbert Farmer, and, after the release of Fred Barker from the penitentiary, she first met Barker at Herbert Farmer's home. In 1933, after the Fairbury (Nebraska) National Bank robbery, Fred Barker expressed his desire for a woman companion, thought of Paula Harmon, whom he had previously met at Herbert Farmer's home in Joplin, Missouri, and Vivian Lattie, the paramour of Verne Miller, contacted Paula Harmon and asked her to visit Kansas City. During the married life of Paula Harmon and Charles Harmon, the couple quarreled frequently and during one of these quarrels, Paula Harmon separated from her husband, and operated a house of ill fame in Chicago, Illinois, for a short time. In 1933, Paula Harmon and Fred Barker first lived at 628 Grand Avenue under the names of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Bergstrom and then on Vernon Avenue.

At the time that Edward Bremer was being held as a kidnap victim, the women members of the Barker mob concealed themselves in apartments located in Chicago, Illinois, with Edna Murray, Wynona Burdette, and Paula Harmon sharing an apartment together at 6212 University Avenue, Chicago. Just prior to the release of Edward Bremer, dissent arose among Edna Murray, Wynona Burdette, and Paula Harmon, and Paula Harmon secured another apartment at 6708 Constance Avenue, Chicago, where Fred Barker resided with her after the collection of the ransom money, before they rented an apartment at 4905 Summit Street, Point Place, Ohio, near Toledo, as Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Bredford. Fred Barker and his mother, Arizona Donnie "Kate" "Ma" Barker, were killed in a shoot-out with the FBI at a Lake Weir resort in Florida in 1935. John B.

Munster's plan for the Colorado Street Bridge was to lay the voussoirs in lines parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vault, which avoided the curved lines, elaborate computations, and warped surfaces involved in the usual construction of the oblique arch and greatly reduced the labor and expense of stone cutting and eliminated the customary pressure fit of stone-arch construction.

This structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the historic Hill District. The 1902 city directory indicates that Mrs. Dillon O'Brien and her daughter resided at this address. The 1918 city directory indicates that Mr. and Mrs. Dillon O'Brien and her daughter resided at this address. The 1920 city directory indicates that Stanislaus D.

Dillon O'Brien (1817-1882) was either from Fairfield, County Galway, Ireland, or from County Roscommon, Ireland, lived at Madeline Island, Michigan, and moved his family to Minnesota, where he initially taught at one of the Indian settlements. Dillon O'Brien (1817-1882) was the author of several novels, including The Dalys of Dalycross, the tale of Henry Daly and his relations with the Anglo-Irish Browns, published in St. Paul by the Pioneer Printing Company in 1866, and Frank Blake, in which a friend is saved from a false accusation of murder of Hon. Robert Eyre in Galway, published in St. Paul by the Pioneer Printing Company in 1876, Widow Lemville's Boarding House, a short novel serialized in The Irish Monthly in 1881, and Dead Broke, serialized in The Irish Monthly in 1882. Dillon O'Brien was involved, with Archbishop John Ireland, in establishing the Catholic Colonization Bureau of Minnesota and was the secretary of the organization in 1879 and 1880. The concept involved the cooperation of church, railroads, and incoming settlers who would occupy railroad lands. Bishop Ireland arranged contracts with five different railroads for 369,000 acres for immigrant settlement. Eventually, the family moved to St. Paul, and several of the sons became lawyers and doctors, including Thomas Dillon O'Brien, who became a judge. Dillon O'Brien was an Irish pacifist in Minnesota, was an activist in the communalist movement, and assisted with a project of building the commune of "Connemaras," where Utopian socialists in Liverpool, England, funded the transporting of 300 families from the islands and the west of Ireland to Big Stone County, Minnesota, for purposes of establishing an Irish-speaking utopian community. The Colonisation Bureau in 1876 promoted the first Utopian socialist commune in Swift County, Minnesota, and within four years, the "Bureau" helped develop five colonies of over 300,000 acres of prairie wasteland. Ultimately, the commune project encompassed 800 families in four villages, each with a church, a school, and a grain elevator and each family was supplied with clothing for two year's and provisions for two months, but winter set in and was unusually early and severe, causing great suffering among the "Connemaras". Eventually, the Hearst Corporation newspapers began to attack all Irish people in America, and the communalist movement in particular. Because of the unexpectedly severe living conditions, the "Connemaras" immigrants were forced to take jobs in the towns, but the Anglo employers in towns were suddenly antagonistic, swayed by the Hearst anti-red attacks. Finally, at the prompting of the Hearst newspapers, and as a result of hysteria engendered throughout America, all employers in Big Stone County, Minnesota, refused to hire Irish communalists. Also, the "Connemaras" immigrants were fisher people, tinkers, and landless peasants who could not cope with the harsh Minnesota environment in which they had been placed and many starved to death. The communes were all destroyed and the survivors migrated north, eventually to work in the logging mills, the forests, and the mines of the Arrowhead region. The commune survivors became a force for founding the International Workers of the World (the IWW or "Wobblies",) and in starting the general strike of 1916 on the Iron Range in Northeastern Minnesota, led in part by Italian Syndicalist Carlo Tresca.
