MRS. ABRAM H. HARDER

My dear wife and our beloved mother Anna Nickel Harder (Mrs. Abram H. Harder) has now experienced both life and death. She was born Oct. 30, 1879, at Kleefeld, Russia to Gerhard Nickel and Sarah Abrahams and given the name Anna. In 1898, at the age of 19, she was baptized upon the confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior by the Elder David nickel and became a member of the Mennonite Church.

On May 29, 1901, she was united in marriage to Abram H. Harder. To this union were born eight children, one daughter and seven sons. In 1918 an orphan from St. Petersburg, John P. Odin, then 16 years old was taken into the family. Mother loved him as one of her own children.
