"George E. Harding, farmer, Canfield township, Mahoning county, was born September 1, 1819. He is representative of a family who were among the earliest settlers of that township. His grandfather, John Harding, came to the township with his family as early as 1805 or 1807, and settled on the farm now occupied by the subject of this sketch. He died in his seventy-ninth year, after a long life of toil and usefulness, his wife surviving him some years. After their death the homestead was bought by John, the second son, who was born in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, in the year 1787. He came to Ohio with his parents. At the age of twenty-four he married Miss Elizabeth Crumrine. He had a family of five sons and three daughters, viz: Mary Ann, Elizabeth, John A. George E., Eli, Peter, Lucy, Ann, and Jacob. Elizabeth, John A., and Jacob are deceased. John was killed by a hay fork striking him upon the head while unloading hay. The father and mother are both deceased, Mr. Harding surviving his wife nine or ten years. They were good citizens, earnest Christians, and useful members of society. George E. Harding, the fourth child and second son, as before stated, occupies the homestead which for so many years has been in possession of the family, and is one of the enterprising farmers of the community. He married, in 1850, Miss Elizabeth Lynn, and has a family of six daughters and one son, viz: Emma E., Fannie Alice, Melissa S., Anna S., Ida, Celia, and George L. One daughter (Mary Ellen) is dead."
Mahoning Dispatch, Fri, 6 Aug 1897, Article No. 29 by Dr. Jackson Truesdale
"I was on close terms of intimacy with George. Our acquaintance and business relations covered many years, and during them all, were of the most pleasant nature. The same may be said of Mrs. George Harding and the entire family, consisting of one son and several daughters. The latter were courteous and pleasant, neat in dress and refined in manners. The widow has left the old home of their grandfather Harding and is now a resident of the village. George E. Harding died March 15th, 1886, in his 67th year."
