Mr. and Mrs. Harley . . . wedded 40 years. — The Frontier Photo.
Kasper Harley Born in ‘Soddy ’
STUART—Miss Lena Brown,
who was bom in Saline county
and came to Holt as an infant,
and Kasper Harley, who was born
in a sodhouse 12 miles south and
two miles east of Atkinson, were
married on June 15, 1915, in St.
Paul’s Lutheran church at
Chambers.
On Sunday, June 12, 1955, Mr.
and Mrs. Harley observed their
40th wedding anniversary, greet
ing friends and relatives in their
home here. One of their sons,
Rev. Vernon Harley of Corpus
Christi, Tex., was unable to at
tend. But three days following
the open-house, the Harleys set
out for Texas to visit with Rev
erend Harley, his wife and their
five chillren.
Mrs. Harley’s parents were
the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles
iiiiMMiiMn
Brown, who were early settlers
on a place five miles north of
Chambers. The family came to
Holt county when Lena was 12
months-old.
Mr. Harley’s parents, the late
John and Dorothea Walter Har
ley, were Canadian-born of Ger
man descent and they establish
ed housekeeping in the “soddy”
on their homestead on Holt creek.
Miss Brown and Mr. Harley
met at a neighborhood gathering
on the Brown homestead. Rev. A.
H. Grosse, Mr. Harley’s brother
in-law, officiated at the nuptial
rites.
The newlyweds spent five
years on the Harley homestead—
1915 to 1920. Then they moved
onto a place six miles southwest
of Atkinson, where they made
their home until 1948, when they
moved into Stuart to retire. Mr.
Harley had purchased the place
in 1918. One son, Arthur, resides
there now.
The Harleys are members of
Immanuel Lutheran church of
Atkinson and regularly attend the
church activities.
“We just get the car nicely
warmed up driving to Atkinson,”
Mr. Harley explains. In Stuart,
they are about 17 tniles driving
distance from the ranch, which
they visit frequently. They have
another place near Springview,
about 45 miles away.
Last summer Mr. Harley, 66,
painted the improvements him
self, driving the roundtrip each
day.
Mr. Harley recently retired af
ter having served 34 years as
secretary - treasurer of their
church. Mrs. Harley at present is
treasurer of the Women’s Mis
sionary league.
The Harleys’ have five childen:
Mrs. Blaine (Viola) Garwood of
Amelia; Reverend Harley of Cor
pus Christie, Tex.; Arthur of At
kinson; Elvin of Stuart, and Mrs.
Victor (Hilda) Snyder of Atkin
son.
une oi tne high points in the
Harleys’ life was when their son,
Vernon, was ordained a Lutheran
minister (Missouri synod). Later,
he spent several ydars in mission
fields of South America. Upon re
turning to the United States, he
was assigned a pastorate in North
Dakota and later was called to a
mission field in the backwoods
area of Indiana, known as “De
vil’s back” country. Decendants of
the famous Dalton and Shelton
clans still are in the parish.
Reverend Harley subsequent
ly was called by the Lutheran
mission board to Corpus Christi
because of his ability to deal
with Spanish speaking people.

The couple regretted their min
istering son was unable to attend
the openhouse, but he could not
get away from his missionary du
