Four generations of the Hardin family in front of the Methodist Church in Kimberly, Idaho, about 1912. The three men in this photo were all Methodist ministers. At the time of this photo, the great-grandfather was retired and the grandfather was minister at the church. The grandfather died a short time later, and the father, who had just become a minister, completed the grandfather's term at the church.
