  C. E. Harbour, manager of the Farmer's general store at Edgerton, has had an
extensive mercantile experience, and is one of the enthusiastic boosters of
commercial Edgerton, who have given it a conspicuous place on the map of Johnson
county. Mr. Harbour was born at Rosebud, Ohio, in 1876, and is a son of George
W. and Mary A. (Bostic) Harbour, natives of Ohio. C. E. Harbour was two years
old when his parents removed from Ohio to West Virginia. He was reared and
educated in that State where he remained until 1907 when he came to Stanley,
Kan., and worked on a farm about a year. In 1908 he came to Edgerton and was
employed in the Farmer's store as clerk. He started at $25.00 per month, but was
soon raised to $30. Eighteen months later he returned to Stanley as manager of
the Grange store there. He conducted the affairs of that concern there,
successfully, for three years when he accepted the management of the Farmer's
store at Edgerton in 1913, and since that time has held that position. Mr.
Harbour is a successful merchant and has proven himself to be a thoroughly
capable manager of a large mercantile establishment, such as the Farmer's store
of Edgerton is. Mr. Harbour was united in marriage May 18, 1909, to Miss
Mar-querite E. Wolfey, a daughter of Ebenezer and Mary (Penery) Wolfey, both
natives of Ohio, and both born in 1842. They are the parents of four children:
P. E., a real estate man, Wichita, Kan.; Milly Ann; Llewellyn and Jennie Lytle.
The Wolfey family came from Ohio to Kansas in 1871 and settled in Miami county
where the father bought a farm and followed farming until he retired and removed
to Edgerton. He still owns his farm. To Mr. and Mrs. Harbour have been born
three children, as follows: Charles W., Mary E. and Leland F. Mr. and Mrs.
Harbour are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and he has been Sunday
school superintendent for four years. His fraternal affiliations are with the
Masons, Modern Woodmen of America, the Knights of the Golden Eagle and the Grange.
