GEORGE W. HARDING, one of the leading citizens of Darwin township, and the
present town clerk, is living on his fertile and highly-cultivated farm on
section 21. He was born in Hardenburgh, Ind., October 3, 1852, and is the son of
Mitchell and Mary A. Harding. He was reared and educated in the "Hoosier State"
and remained a resident there until April 25, 1866, when he came to Meeker
county, Minn., with his father, and settled in Darwin township, where he now
makes his home.

   Mitchell Harding, the father of our subject, was born in Genesee county, N.
Y., March 14, 1808, and came West and settled in Indiana in 1836, one of the
pioneers of that noble State. His father was a veteran of the conflict with
Great Britain in 1812-1815, and died at Fort Erie during the war. Mitchell
Harding makes his home with his son, George, having given up active business
pursuits, as he is over eighty years old.

   George Harding was united in marriage, April 5, 1874, with Miss Josie L.
Smith, and by this union they are the parents of three children—Earl C., born
March 1, 1875, died October 8, 1880; Jennie M., born May 11, 1878; and George
W., born July 26, 1881.

   Our subject is politically a republican, and has been called on several times
by his fellow citizens to discharge official duties. He was elected chairman of
the town board of supervisors, and served in that capacity three terms. Town
assessor and town clerk he has also been, and at present holds the two
offices—clerk of the township and school district treasurer. Religiously, he is
a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, while his estimable wife holds
communion, with the Church of God, and both are sincere, earnest, Christian people.
