Those years were from eleven to seventeen years of age. He then took up contracting for the Remington Arms Company from 1863 to 1874. In 1877 he entered into partnership with C. W. Palmer in their present enterprise, which has continued ever since, and their premises are double the capacity with which they started. Mr. Harter is a superior and enterprising business man and is well known throughout the county. He is a Mason, a member of the Blue Lodge and of the Veiled Prophets. In politics he is a Democrat and active, but will not take office owing to the demand of his business upon his time. His people have been in America for generations. He married Miss Cornelia Palmer, also of an old American family.
