Four
generations
of the Hardin family in front of the Methodist Church in
Kimberly, Idaho, about 1912. The three men in this photo
were all Methodist ministers: left to right are Franklin
A. Hardin, Floyd B. Hardin with baby Oliver, and Franklin
B. Hardin. At the time of this photo, Franklin A. was
retired, and Franklin B. was minister at the church.
Franklin B. died a short time later, and Floyd, who had
just become a minister, completed his father's term at the
church.
