A.M. Harmer
Tempe

Arizona, The Youngest State. 1913

A.M. Harmer was born in Ohio in 1875 and in that state acquired 
his education, supplementing a public school course by attendance 
at the Ohio Northern University at Ada from which he was 
graduated in pharmacy in 1896.  Immediately afterward he 
turned his attention to this business which he followed 
in Ohio until 1899, when he came to Arizona.  He first 
settled in Mesa where he remained for three years, and 
was afterward manager of a pharmacy in Tombstone for 
one year before coming to Tempe in 1903.  Here he 
purchased a drug store, buying the interests of J.W. 
Burg in the enterprise established by Dr. J.F. Hart 
and H.H. Root in 1883.  He conducted the business with 
growing success until 1914 when he sold out to O.C. 
McNary.  Mr. Harmer now devotes his time to the 
development of his ranch in the Salt River Valley at 
Chandler.

Mr. Harmer was married in 1902 to Miss Nellie Clark of 
Mesa and both are now well known and popular in Tempe.
