The Obituary of William J. Harder II 1843 - 1924 From the Livonia Gazette, 30 May 1924 William Harder, familiarly known as “Deacon” Harder, passed away at his home on the Jacques Hill road last Saturday. He had been in declining health for several months and death came due to the debilities of old age Mr. Harder was the son of William and Katherine Harder and was born in the old log-house which long stood near the site of his late home. The original family came from Canajoharie in 1828 and settled the land immediately west of Hemlock lake. The selection of the higher location was made because of the fear of fever and ague which prevailed among settlers on the lowlands. Mr. Harder lived for eighty ears within a half-mile of the house in which he died, and four generations of his family were born in the log homestead. He had been deacon of the Baptist church at Hemlock for the full term of his membership, thirty-two years. His entire life was one of active service for his church, whose offices he filled with fidelity and thoroughness. Three children, Mrs. Robert Patchin of Detroit, Mrs. George Knapp and Gideon Harder of Hemlock survive him; also two sisters, Mrs. Mary Dixon of California and Mrs. H. N. Jerome of Livonia Center, and one brother George Harder. Funeral services were held from his late residence Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Rice of South Livonia officiating. Interment was made in the Harder Cemetery.
