He was a wonderful father and grandfather.
See bio of his mother for more info on birth- Many records and accounts say born in Cline Section House, but not true.Also see bio of father and Alma Caoline Harder.
Ranee wrote that Dad went to school in Leamington, Utah and was in the first class to graduate from the eighth grade. In the fall of 1907, he was called on a LDS mission and went to Louisana. After sixteen months, he caught malaria. He then spent the last seven months in Kansas arriving back in Leamington just before Christmas 1909.He built a new store building and took a correspondence course with the International Correspondence School in contracting and building.The next spring , he worked on the first bridge over the Sevier River between Lynndyl and Leamington.He farmed from 1917 through the 20's. He bought he store from his mother in 1928. It went broke in 1934 during the Great Depression, partly because he could not collect debts or stop giving credit to those in need. Two years later, he sold the store to Shelby Nielson, much to the relief of his wife Pearl.He then started to build for a living. He built the following houses: Jeff Finlinison, Nathaniel Ashby, Wells Nielson, two at Lynndyl,his own and ----Nielson, three in Delta, and Nephi.
This is a quote taken from an article on Al Harder in the Leamington paper" If the bread was black on the outside and dough in the middle, that's the way he liked it. The potatoes could still be raw and the meat burnt, but still the way he liked it.... His sense of humor is terrific. A few years ago we had a party in Mutual and Eva and I bought some special things for different people. His was a brush for bald-headed men. The accompanying picture shows what it did for him." Note -picture was not Al but his father S.W. Harder who had head full of curly hair.
" He and his wife were marrried June 17,1914. She passed away April 7, 1947. They had four children, three boys and one girl. He also has 13 grandchildren. Years ago,he made caskets for people when they died; also,I don't believe there is a house in Leamington he hasn't built or help build in some way or another."
" He is a very good friend to everyone. He is none other than our good friend, Mr. Al Harder."
