Read More	Few farmers in Harrison county have met with more pronounced success in their agricultural operations than A. Eduard Harter. He started in to work as a farm hand in this county, and later rented land for a few years before eventually buying. That he has labored to a definite end is shown by the fact that he is now the owner of two hundred and forty acres of well-improved land in Jackson and Raglan townships. There is not a modern convenience the farmer needs that is not found on the well-improved farm of Mr. Harter, and consequently he gets the maximum returns from his effort. A. Eduard Harter, the son of Peter N. and Ellinor (Swan) Harter, was born on October 5, 1865, in New York. Her parents, who were of English descent, were both born in that state. A. Eduard Harter was one of four children born to his parents and lived at home until he was sixteen years of age. He received a good common school education in his native state, and when he left there at the age of sixteen, he came to Iowa and located in Harrison county with his uncle, Clark Swan. He worked for his uncle until he was twenty-one, then rented a farm and began working for himself. He saved his money and, in 1902, was able to buy one hundred and twenty acres of land, eighty acres in Raglan township and forty in Jackson township. Since that time he has doubled his acreage and now owns two hundred and forty acres. When he bought this farm there was not even a fence on it and no buildings whatever. He now has a beautiful country home and one of the largest barns in the county. He uses a gas engine for pumping and grinding his feed, and in his implement shed may be seen every modern farming implement a farmer could possibly use. While he raises a great deal of grain each year, he gives the most of his attention to stock raising and feeds a large number of cattle and hogs for the market. All his stock is full-blooded, but he has never taken the trouble to have it registered. He feeds about two hundred head of cattle and four hundred hogs each year and derives the greater portion of his income from the sale of stock. He also has twenty-eight head of horses on his farm. Mr. Harter was married on August 25, 1904, to Minnie Parks, who was born in Harrison county, and is a daughter of William and Mary (Follett) Parks, early settlers of Harrison county. Her mother was born in this state and her father in Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Harter are the parents of five children, Clark, Ethel, Gladys, Guy and Glen. The family are loyal supporters of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Harter gives his allegiance to the Republican party, but has never been an aspirant for public office. His agricultural and stock-raising interests are so extensive that he devotes all of his time to them, leaving the cares of political life to others. The success which has come to Mr. Harter is well deserved and his present prosperity has been the result of his own initiative. He takes an active part in the civic life of his community and is always ready to lend his hearty approval to all public-spirited measures. source: "History of Harrison County, Iowa: its people, industries and institutions, with biographical sketches of representative citizens and genealogical records of many of the old families", 1915, pages 946 - 947
