Birth 1889 Walla Walla, WA.
Death June 20, 1947 Leavenworth Chelan Co. WA.
Funeral Thursday Honor Memory of Prominent Stockman.
Funeral services for George M. Harder, 48, prominent Kahlotus stockman, were held Thursday at the Harder home at the head of Washtucna lake, with burial in the family plot nearby. The Rev. H. Mau of Toppenish officiated.
Mr. Harder died suddenly while working with one of his sheep hands in the Cascade mountains, near Leavenworth. A member of one Eastern Washington's most widely known pioneer families, Mr. Harder was born in Walla Walla and raised at the family home near Kahlotus. During the past 24 years he has operated the large sheep business founded by his father, the late Hans Harder.
His father came to the United States from Germany in 1883, with his brother, Jacob, in founding the largest wheat, cattle and sheep raising enterprises in the Pacific Northwest. Jacob who died a few years ago, had the largest individually owned ranch in the state.
The brothers began their operations along the Snake river, gradually expanding into the area around Kahlotus and northeast into Adams and Lincoln Counties. At one time the area around Kahlotus was know as "Hardersburg."
George Harder attended Washington State College and was married in 1924 to Constance Bischoff, who survives him. Other survivors include a son, William and one daughter, Macey Ann at the home. One sister, Mrs. Leo Peot and family of Washtucna, and two brothers, John and family of Portland Oregon and Harry and family of Lamont.
He is also survived by two aunts, Mrs. Annine (Hennings) Harder of Ritzville, and Mrs. Mary (Finkbeiner) Schlomer of Spokane and cousins who include Carl and John Harder of Ritzville, Max Harder of Sprague, Mrs. R. A.MacKenzie, Mrs. Edward Schmidt and Doctor Henry Schlomer of Spokane and John Schlomer of Benge.
Mr. Harder had been in apparent good health, having only recently returned from a trip down the Oregon coast with his family, but was overcome while shipping lambs from his summer range in the mountains. His untimely death is a loss which will be deeply felt by many friends he had in the area
