HARMER RITES ARE HELD TODAY, SANTA ANA
"Funeral services were held today at Santa Ana, Calif., for Richard Harmer, 
for many years a respected citizen of Northfield whose death occurred at 
Santa Ana Friday.  Mr. Harmer had undergone an operation for cancer on 
February 12.  Before the operation he had been seriously ill at his home for 
two weeks.  
Richard Harmer was born in Wisconsin March 1859.  With his parents he moved 
to Dodge County where they made their home for many years.  On New Year's Day 
1879 he was united in marriage to Miss Florence Gertrude Quimby.  They made 
their home in the Dodge County communities for many years and thirty-three 
years ago moved to the Northfield community where they made their home on a 
farm northwest of Northfield.  After six years on the farm, Mr. and Mrs. 
Harmer moved to Northfield where they made their home for many years. 
Eleven years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Harmer left to make their home at Santa Ana, 
Calif.  Two years since that time they lived in Mankato with a son, later 
returning to their California home.  Last summer Mr. and Mrs. Harmer visited 
with their daughter and son-in-law Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Lee in Northfield.
Besides Mrs. Harmer, Mr. Harmer is survived by five children, Mrs. C. W. Lee
