He married Elvina "Vina" Carmean on 30 July 1871 at Hillsboro, Henry Co, IA. They had 2 children, Gertrude Harlan[married William George Boyer] and Edmund V. Harlan. Nathan was the U.S. Attorney to Alaska appointed 1901 by President McKinley. The picture of this couple is from York, NE and was in box of Harlan family photos. We think it is of Nathan and Vina. Suggested edit: HON. NATHAN V. HARLAN.--What ever else may be said of the legal fraternity, it cannot be denied that members of the bar have been more prominent actors in public affairs than any other class of American people. This is but the natural result of causes which are manifest and require no explanation. The ability and training which qualify one to practice law also qualify him in many respects for duties which he outside the diametrical lines of his profession, and which touch the general interests of society. The subject of this record, one of the oldest attorneys in York county, is a man who has brought his keen perception and thorough wisdom to bear not alone in professional paths, but also for the benefit of his county and state. Mr. Harlan was born in Darke county, Ohio, October 22, 1846, and is a son of Valentine and Elizabeth (Polly) Harlan, natives of South Carolina and Kentucky, respectively. The father, who was a farmer by occupation and a local preacher, died when our subject was only three years old, and the mother when he was but eighteen. With the family he removed to Lee county, Iowa, at the age of five years, and was educated at Howe's Academy, in Mt. Pleasant, and Oskaloosa College, Oskaloosa, that state. After leaving school he successfully engaged in teaching for ten years, and for about half of that period devoted his leisure time to the study of law, being admitted to the bar at Keosauqua, Iowa, in 1878. The same year he came to York, Nebraska, and at once began the practice of his chosen profession, in which he has been remarkably successful. As an attorney he ranks among the ablest in this part of the state. He is a good judge of law, and, what is of almost equal importance, is a good judge of men, and it is this quality, together with his great earnestness and ability as a speaker, that has given him such marked success in the trial of cases. In 1871 Mr. Harlan married Miss Vina Carmine, a native of Iowa, and they have become the parents of two children: Gertrude, who was born in 1872, and is now Mrs. William G. Boyer; and Edmund V., born in 1881. In his social relations Mr. Harlan is both an Odd Fellow and Mason. He is a recognized leader in the ranks of the Republican organization of the state, and has been honored with a number of important official positions. For three terms he served as mayor of York, and in 1885 and 1887 represented his district in the lower house of the state legislature, serving as its speaker during the last year. He is a born leader of men, and in this august body his qualities were quickly recognized. In 1890 he was the candidate of his party for congress in his district but was defeated, and is now serving his second term as county attorney. Socially he is deservedly popular, as he is affable and courteous in manner and possesses that essential qualification to success in public life, that of making friends readily and strengthening the ties of all friendships as time advances. In connection with this sketch is presented a portrait of Mr. Harlan. SOURCE: "Memorial and Biographical Record .... Butler, Polk, Seward, York and Fillmore Counties", Geo. A.
