Nathan G. Harding and his wife Caroline moved to Illinois during pioneer days, locating upon a farm near Monmouth, which Nathan cultivated for many years, and he acquired two farms of eighty acres each. About 1865, he removed to Monmouth and embarked in the lumber business, continuing in that for three years, during which time he was admitted to the bar, but owing to trouble with his eyes he never practiced much. Coming to Polk county, Iowa, in 1878, he settled on four hundred acres of land which he purchased in Webster township, being engaged in its cultivation until a few years prior to his death, when he removed to Des Moines. He returned to the farm after a year's residence in the capital city, and there he passed away in December.
