The same source goes on to note that Harding was born "on a farm in Guernsey county, Ohio. While quite young the family removed to Freeport township, Harrison county, where his boyhood was spent on a farm and at the district school. At the age of twenty he began to teach, supplementing his education with two terms at Scio College. He studied law and after his admission to the bar began to practice at Caldwell, Ohio. Some years ago he went to Lorain, Ohio, where he has been a member of the law firm of Snyder and Harding. He is now serving his second year as Police Prosecutor of that city." [C.L.
