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: left to right are Franklin A. Hardin, Floyd B. Hardin with baby Oliver, and Franklin B. Hardin. At the time of this photo, Franklin A. was retired, and Franklin B. was minister at the church. Franklin B. died a short time later, and Floyd, who had just become a minister, completed his father's term at the church.
