    Biography:
    FERDINAND HARP, who has been identified with the agricultural interests of Buchanan township for a number of years, is now the owner of 115 acres of land in sections 26 and 27, and for the past nine years has served as road commissioner of district No. 2. He was born on the property which he is now operating, May 10, 1869, and is a son of William and Caroline (Grumall) Harp, natives of Germany. Mr. Harp's parents came to the United States in 1863, settling on forty acres of wild land which now forms a part of Ferdinand Harp's farm, where William Harp cut down trees, hewed logs and built a log house. He cleared and developed his land and resided on this property until his death, in January, 1911, when he had reached the age of eighty-two years. His wife died February 13, 1900, and both are buried in the Riverside Cemetery at Appleton. Ferdinand Harp was the fourth in order of birth of his parents' five children, and he received his education in the district schools. He always lived on the home farm and worked for his father until the latter's death, when he inherited a part of the homestead and bought the interests of the other heirs, adding seventy acres by purchase and making a total of 115 acres. He was married in 1897 to Miss Mittie Bement, daughter of Walter and Sarah (Weber) Bement, the former a native of Wisconsin and the latter of New York, and of English and Dutch descent, respectively. They were married in Wisconsin and settled in Appleton, where Mr. Bement, with Frank Clark, was the first to make sulphite pulp in the Fox River Valley. Mrs. Harp's paternal grandfather was the first city treasurer of Appleton. Her parents are both living in that city, her father being fifty-eight years old and her mother fifty-six, and they had a family of nine children, Mrs. Harp being the second in order of birth and born August 25, 1874. Mr. and Mrs. Harp have had two children: Gene and Vera. He has 100 acres under cultivation, all fenced with barbed and woven wire, and he does general farming and stock raising, marketing dairy products, hogs and cattle and some hay and grain. He milks eleven cows, keeping Short Horns and Durhams, and also breeds Yorkshire hogs and Belgian horses. His frame barn, 34x54 feet, was built in 1879, and another 30x104 feet, in 1883, the latter being equipped with cow stalls. His frame two-story residence consists of twelve rooms and was built in 1885, and he secures his water for all purposes from drilled wells. In politics Mr. Harp is a Republican and for nine years he has served as road commissioner of district No. 2. With his wife, he attends the Congregational Church.

    Obituary:
    James Harp, Little Chute
    The fish must have been biting in heaven on Saturday, May 19, 2001, when God called his servant James Joseph Harp to help with the catch. With his f amily at his side, he died as he lived his life, gently and peacefully, a nd with a final smile for all, just six weeks after receiving a diagnos is of cancer.
    Jim walked this earth for 69 years, 50 of those spent with the love of h is life, Barbara (Scherer). He was born March 15, 1932, in Little Chut e. He graduated from St. John Grade School and High School, Little Chut e, and received a degree in Biology from St. Norbert College, De Per e, in 1954. But his real classroom was the out-of-doors. His life was dedi cated to God's green earth and all its creatures. He shared that love free ly with his family, friends and readers of The Post-Crescent throughout h is lifetime. Jim joined the newspaper staff the day following his graduati on from college, and served in a variety of roles in his 38 years at the n ewspaper, before retiring in 1992. His favorite assignment was outdoor edi tor, and he wrote a column titled "Single Shot." It became his moniker f or the many years he spent "battling the elements," as he put it, hunti ng and fishing virtually every species on this continent, and a few beyo nd these borders. He also was known as "Mr. Valentine" for his traditi on of making certain that no female employee at the newspaper went unrecog nized on that special day. During his tenure at The Post-Crescent, he deve loped the Master Angler Contest as well as the Bowl-O-Rama, in which thous ands of people participated over the years.
    Many of Jim's articles were shared with audiences beyond the Fox Valle y. He had one story on Lake Winnebago's sturgeon published in the Wall Str eet Journal, a variety of articles in Field & Stream magazine, and o ne of his tales was the subject of a Paul Harvey broadcast. During his ret irement, he became a columnist for the Fox Cities Newspapers and was warm ed by the response from readers who said they had missed his tales over t he past few years.
    With his wife of 47 years at his side, Jim was most at home in a boat dock ed at their cottage The Duck Shack on Lake Poygan. The north woods was a s econd love, and his years with his buddies at Shangri-Lodge made for ma ny good newspaper stories and memories for us all. Jim and Barb truly enjo yed get-togethers with friends, and whether he was "skippering" the Annu al Cecil Cruise or presiding at a barbecue or campfire, Jim's understat ed humor, droll commentary on life and occasional country-music song-styli ngs will remain treasured remembrances.
    Jim and Barb were blessed with eight children who learned early that life 's adventures and the out-of-doors would be a big part of their lives. Th ey include: Mary and Jeff Harp-Jirschele, Menasha; Mike and Lynn Harp, Com bined Locks; Marcy and Todd Voss, Neenah; Maureen Bogenschutz, Longview, T exas; Marty and Karen Harp, Lewisville, North Carolina; Matt and Ellen Har p, Hortonville, and Mark Harp, Little Chute. A daughter, Margaret, di ed in 1990 and was waiting at Heaven's Gate to greet her dad.
    Jim was a kind and gentle soul who had a way with little ones, and he w as a wonderful grandfather to Angela LeNoble, Ben and Sam Harp; Matt McCar ty, Evan Voss and Chandra Federle; Sarah and Jason Bogenschutz; Alex, Anna belle and Margaret Harp; Garret Harp; and one great-granddaughter Taryn Be ckstrom.
    Jim was the oldest of five rambunctious brothers born to Gene and Loret ta (Heesakker) Harp. His brothers and their wives include Tom and Ruth Har p, Appleton; David and Arlene Harp, Green Bay; and Richard and Carol Har p, Menasha. His brother, Leo, preceded him in death, as did his parents. O ther survivors include Barb's brother and his wife, John and Joan Schere r, Darboy, and Barb's sister, Pat Van Camp, St. Louis.
    Also on hand to welcome him home to God were Barb's parents, John and Lau ra (Pfiester) Scherer; a sister-in-law, Sr. Mary Scherer, and a brother-in -law, Jim Van Camp.
    Beyond writing and family, Jim's interests and hobbies were many. As a you ng man he was a skilled basketball and baseball player, as well as a boxe r. He also dabbled in drama, and earned the nickname "Digger" for one espe cially memorable role. His lifelong sporting passions included bowling, go lf and the Blohm's Insurance softball team. Most recently, he was a first- rate shuffleboard player at their retirement village in North Ft. Myers, F lorida. In between all the activity, he reveled in beating Barb (occasiona lly) in their daily games of Scrabble.
    He was a man who loved people, and paired with his love for the outdoor s, he forged many bonds with organizations like the Wild Turkey Federatio n, Sturgeons for Tomorrow, Ducks Unlimited, Trout Unlimited, Dave's Mus ky Club, World Musky Hunt, Fun Seekers, JBTDBK Fishing Club and Outdoor Wr iters of America. He was a member of St. Paul Parish in Combined Locks, t he Little Chute Kiwanis and a lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus.
    In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established to help handicapped pe ople of all ages enjoy the outdoors as much as Jim did.
    Friends may celebrate Jim's life with the family from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesda y, May 22, 2001, at St. Paul Catholic Church, Combined Locks, where the re will be a prayer service at 7 p.m. On Wednesday, May 23, 2001, visitati on will continue from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Mass will be at 10:30 a.m. with F r. Bob Vandenberg officiating. Inurnment will be in St. Paul Cemetery, Com bined Locks, next to his daughter Margaret.

He also served his country with Army Reserve Unit, Appleton, 395th Unit from 1965 until 1971. It was during a leave at Christmas time when he proposed to his beautiful wife, Carol Miller of Brillion, whom he married September 18th, 1965 at St. Mary's Church, Brillion. Rich had a career in the sheet metal industry having started as a star apprentice at Russell Sheet Metal, Menasha. He won First Place in the National Second-Year Apprentice Award for the U.S. & Canada, as well as First Place for four years in the Fox Valley. He retired 38 years later having enjoyed his work at Gilbert Paper the most. Rich was known by his colleagues for his high level craftsmanship, dependability, and humor on the job.
    Rich was exemplary at leading a balanced life as he greatly cherished his time with his family, with his wife Carol and their three children, six grandchildren, his brothers, in-laws, nieces and nephews, along with many very dear and close friends including boyhood friends from High Cliff who have remained dear friends for life. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed deer hunting at his cabin (the "Red Dog"), one he built himself with the help of close friends including the "A-Team." Rich also perfected the skill of turkey-calling, was a frequent winner of the Red Dog Cob Toss, enjoyed fishing on Lake Winnebago, picnics at Calumet County State Park, taxidermy, golf, photography and many wonderful camping trips with his wife, children and friends.

He was known and will be remembered for the special care he took of his family and for all the quality time he spent with them, for his humor, storytelling, warmth, ability to provide a positive outlook to any situation, for his handyman talents, lending a helping hand to anyone who needed him, a unique ability to personally build things he needed from stainless steel hot dog roasting sticks known as Red Dog "Dog Masters" to his woodworking skills as a furniture- and clock-maker, and ultimately as the guy who made a regular day a very special day for having spent time with him. Rich really enjoyed life and brought immeasurable joy and fun to those around him.

    Notes:

    Obituary:
    Surrounded by his loving family and fighting to live to the fullest to the very end, Michael J. Harp, 61, Combined Locks, took his last breath on Thursday, December 1, 2016, at Appleton Medical Center. Multiple System Atrophy took him from us physically but his spirit remains in all those who knew and loved him, and there were many. He was seldom alone, he encircled himself with family and friends thanks to his outgoing personality and many interests. When his disease began to progress in earnest earlier this year, more than 1,000 people supported Mike and Lynn and their family at a benefit in their honor, engineered by the best friends anyone could ever ask for. He was in his glory that day, and ended the night with "the last dance" with Lynn, the woman he publicly declared "my love, my rock, my life and my wife." There wasn't a dry eye in the room as they swayed to the music. These friends and family members carried them through the next 6 months, helping fulfill many Bucket List items, from excursions Up North with the Amigos for fishing to an adventurous motor coach tour with Lynn. Life did not end with a diagnosis, it simply gained urgency. Mike was proud of his company, Harp Home Improvements, and you can see his work on many homes and cottages throughout the area. He followed in his Dad's footsteps with a love of the outdoors, and could give most anyone a run for their money at the dart board, the pool table or in a game of cribbage. But more than anything, he loved his family. Mike is survived by Lynn, his wife of 35 years, who never left his side when the going got tough; his children: Angela (Brandon) Raddant, Ben Harp, and Sam (Jennifer Hoelzel) Harp; his grandchildren: Spencer, Tyler, Grayson, Naomi, and Nora; siblings: Mary (Jeff) Harp-Jirschele, Marcy (Todd) Voss, Maureen (Ronnie) Williams, Marty (Karen) Harp, Matt (Ellen) Harp, and Mark Harp; father and mother-in-law, Roger and Barbara Smith; brothers and sisters-in-law: Brenda (Michael) Schumacher, Darrel (Deb) Smith, Dave (Donna) Smith, and Dale "Skip" (Deb) Smith; nieces and nephews: Matt McCarty; Jason Bogenschutz; Alex, Annabelle and Margaret Harp; Garret Harp; Nicole, Matt, Kate, and Luke Schumacher; Coy, Cas, and Cal Smith; Alex and Autumn Smith; Jake, Hannah, Maggie, and Sarah Smith; many other family members and very special friends.
    Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Barb and Jim Harp; sister, Margaret; niece, Sarah Bogenschutz; sister-in-law, Shellie Smith; all of his grandparents and a number of dear aunts and uncles.
    Memorial services will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 6, 2016, at St. Luke Lutheran Church, 705 E. Greenfield Drive, Little Chute, with Rev. Ronald Szep officiating. Visitation will be at the church on Tuesday from 2:00 p.m. until the time of the service. For online condolences, please visit www.verkuilenfh.com.
    The Harp family would like to express a special thank you to the Appleton Medical Center ER staff, the 7th and 8th floor, Dr. Norma Turk and Dr. David Anderla for all of the compassionate care given to Mike.
