Flying High at Ninety
"Well, I know I have been nearer heaven than most of you fellows," was the greeting Ellen Harn of Kenesaw gave to the people she met when, at the age of 90, she descended from her first airplane voyage and came back to earth and the cornfields of Nebraska. Miss Harn, a former school teacher and pioneer suffragist, took her first flight seventy years ago, when flying was a novelty to people of any age.
Recording her adventures in The Woman Citizen, the publication of the National Suffrage Association, Miss Harn explained that she was not afraid of flying. On the contrary, she worried she'd never get the chance to be airborne. "I had been fearful that at my age I might drop off and never see an airplane, when to my surprise a plane came floating over my head. I returned to the house to find my grand nieces with a car to take me to the ascension grounds, where I was invited to make a flight with Aviator Creeth in the machine that had just flown over my head."
"Several of my friends wished me to take with me a small flag and to wave it so that they might know it was I in the plane above. In search for the flag the only one to be found had a suffrage pennant attached to it. Upon asked leave to do the bidding of my friends the owner of the plane, Mr. Snyder, promptly filed an injunction." But the pilot, Mr. Creeth, came to the rescue and offered to drop the flag with its suffrage banner as the pair flew over the town flag pole.
"We mounted the airplane and started. On the broad-tread of the plane we went bumping over the uncircumscribed alfalfa field. The bumping ceased. I leaned out to see what was up; found the nose of the plane describing an upward angle and clear of all entanglements. 'Now we are in for it,' my brain fluttered."
"I was secure in the hidden arms of the trusty aviator behind me with clear, alert brains. So I gave myself up to the newness of the lower landscape, its child-like markings into fields and city squares. The higher we went up the more like the playground of the kids it became.
"We made note of the whitening stubble of the many wheatfields and I cannot describe the feeling that took possession of me as we were so quietly and peacefully tobogganing up the ethereal heights.
"We drifted south. Then, westward. Grey Eagle pointed her straight beak and we seemed to float. I don't know how far. I only knew that we were floating, that the air was sugary sweet, and the great round world, whispering no sound to us, lay far below. The white, comfortable, homelike farmhouses . . .became mere flecks of white. There were old barns, sleek Percherons, high-stepping trotters, graceful, pretty little mustangs arrayed in the colors of Joseph's coat, grazing on the alfalfa stretches, Jerseys, Holsteins, shorthorns on the thousand, grassy interstices of the gray old sand dunes.
"Striking the southwestern suburbs of Kenesaw we circled round west, then north until we struck Smith Avenue. The focus of our search was the Stars and Stripes, at high mast on the avenue over which Aviator Creeth had promised to drop the pennant.
"When the opportune time came, down it went, through the blue ether and the golden sun-light, U.S. flag and suffrage pennant. Dual as they were at the starting point, before they had reached the earth they had become so interwoven, so entwined, that no political microscope could discover their individuality. They two were one and the same.
"The plane momentarily hovered over the gray gable of my prairie home, then stuck a bee line for the point of decension, a mile or more away. I braced myself for a bump and a bang, but the bird caught hold of a tuft of alfalfa as softly and smoothly as if a bevy of twilight sparrows were stopping for a night's rest.

The Hennepin Co., MN Deed Index, Book 7, page 313, states that on 27Jun1865, Ellen D. Harn was the Grantor of Lot 11, block 223. The Grantee being Alvin D. Williams.
In 1906, Ellen owned 40 acres in Adams Co., Kenesaw twsp., Sec 35. Ellen D. Harn was president of Adams Co Suffrage Organization for years.
The following was from the book, Adams County: A Story of the Great Plains, by Dorothy Weyer Creigh, published in 1972, by the Adams County-Hastings Centennial Commission, page 513, 899:
"She still does a large part of her own work, feeds her chickens, cares for the family cow and plants her own garden. She acquired the vote after 70 years of constant effort toward woman suffrage. At 91 she took an airplane ride when such a feat was considered exceptionally dangerous."
"Miss Ellen D. Harn, Kenesaw pioneer and early-day teacher, made her first airplane flight in 1918 when she was 89 years old. When the open cockpit plane piloted by Burgess Creeth, was over the house-tops of Kenesaw, she released a banner which said "Votes for Women", clearly visible to the gawking public a few hundred feet below."
Following from the book History of Nebraska, volume III, by Albert Watkins, Ph. B., pg 495, Western Publishing & Engraving Company, Lincoln, Nebraska, 1913:
HARN, ELLEN DORCAS, Kenesaw, Neb., came to this state in 1881 from Barton, Allegheny county, Md., where she was teaching her eleventh year in the public schools. She taught a term in 1881 and again in 1885-86 and was principal of the Kenesaw schools for four years. She was a member of the Kenesaw school board for three years and has taught about forty years. She was educated in Cedar Hill Seminary. Mount Joy, Pa., a graduate in the class of 1852. She began her teaching career in Cedar Hill Seminary. She was very active in Good Templar work in Minnesota, where she was one of the first teachers when the schools were organized in 1858, having previously taught in Pawtucket, R. I., and Lawrence, Mass. She taught here for seven years. She also taught in the Cheshire Academy, and the West Virginia State Normal at Huntington, W. Va. She was sent as delegate to the convention of Good Templars of North America at Nashville, Tenn., in 1860, at which convention there were only three lady delegates. Her grandfather, John Harn, Jr., was in the War of 1812, being a member of a Maryland regiment. The Harn family are English, of Norman descent. Her brothers were all in the Civil War. Miss Harn has been president of the Kenesaw local suffrage club since its organization, April 23, 1902. In 1908 she celebrated her eightieth birthday. Her brother, Reverend George W. Harn, of Wooster, O., was one of the organizers of the republican party, when his life was more than once in jeopardy, a candidate for Congress, within two votes of nomination, and a captain in the Civil War in the Union army. Miss Harn is in her eighty-fifth year (1912) and is active, and interested in all the topics of the day and in all good works. She attends to ten acres of fruit and a garden and cares for a horse and a cow and also f1nds time for reading and social activities.
The following obituary for Ellen Dorcas Harn was in the Kenesaw Progress Newspaper, on 01May1930, page 1.
Death Claims Kenesaw's oldest citizen 1829-1930.
Ellen D. Harn, who over one hundred years ago opened her eyes in this world, and since that time has kept one focused on the doings of the world, is dead.
She had been ill only two days. Her trouble developed so rapidly that she was unconscious throughout the day Tuesday and at 12:40 Wednesday she passed out of this life at 101 years, 3 months and 13 days of age.
Miss Harn was born in Fredericks county, Maryland, January 18, 1829. She was an early school teacher, one of the first women to teach. She was brave, daring and always fought for the things she thought right. She was never ill to speak of, and late years found her pen as strong as her voice was 75 years ago for woman suffrage, against the saloon, and for higher ideals in her profession as a school teacher.
Miss Harn came to Kenesaw many years ago. After spending half a century in Pennsylvania and Maryland, she came to Nebraska and helped those struggling early-day settlers build what is today one of the greatest educational systems in the world. She was one of the early pioneer school teachers, in fact one of the first of her sex to teach in the states of Pennsylvania and Maryland. As she got older the world got better, and no doubt at all but from some of her teachings. Then she became older, never weakened; her power become stronger and stronger, until today that for which she stood has all come to pass- teachers by the thousands of her own sex in the school room-yes and in congress-no saloons-and the women still forging ahead.
At the time of her 100th birthday, Kenesaw and community tendered her a birthday party in the Methodist Hall. All afternoon it was packed from the front to the back. Hundreds came to congratulate her; some of then early-day pupils, their hair gray and their backs bent. The school children marched from the school to the front of the hall where Miss Harn met them and talked to them for 10 minutes as though nothing unusual had happened. She was young; only the great number of years she lived were old. Just to look at her was to admire her.
Miss Mary Williams, who has made her home with Miss Harn for many years and Miss Katie Thrall, of Formosa Beach, Calif; two nieces were with her when the quiet ending of her life came. Many other relatives will arrive before Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock when the funeral will be held in the Methodist church. At first arrangements it was to have been held beside the 35-year old lilac bush which she planted and so greatly admired, but since have been changed.
Rev. Harry Wolcott of Smithfield will preach her funeral. He is a former pupil of Miss Harn and spoke at her 100th birthday party. Early Wednesday morning telegraph keys began to click off the news of her passing, the radio announced it, and later came the press, all carrying with their messages a tribute to her many years of usefulness.
Her funeral will be the largest ever held in Kenesaw. It will be attended by relatives, friends and admirers from four different directions. After it then will come a shower of flowers, letters, and cards, from all over the United States- from governors, from congressmen, from former students and from other pioneers who are creeping close to the century mark.

Polytechnic Bids Farewell to Elmer Harn
The Baltimore Sun
Baltimore, Maryland
18 May 1941, Sun Page 48
If it hadn't been for the stubbornness of the young lady who later became his wife, Elmer Harn, who retired two weeks ago after thirty-seven years as a teacher at Polytechnic Institute, might have spent his life in a newspaper city room instead of behind a professor flat-top desk. For so long as he worked at being a newspaperman, the future Mrs. Harn wouldn't have him. "I followed after that girl for nine years," he explains, as if recalling a losing battle, "but she said she would never marry a newspaperman, who changed night into day." So, as any good Irishman would, Mr. Harn "pitched the job for the girl"' and turned to teaching. And he has never regretted the choice. He considers it the wisest thing he ever did. In that, most of the thousands of students he taught at Polytechnic in the past three-and-a-half decades will agree, regardless of the merits of the musical and literary criticisms which made up most of his newspaper writings.
An Unpredictable Manner
They remember him, more and more fondly as he comes within the focus of a more mature perspective, as a wild-eyed, emotional and highly eccentric Irishman, who was just as often in trouble with the school administration as they were themselves. His manner of teaching was informal and unpredictable. He would sit upon his desk, or in a window, or stand with one foot on a chair. In short, his manners were largely those of the newsroom, for whose sloppy freedom he has always borne a great fondness. He never placed much stock in textbooks, or the teacher who instructed by them. And, happily for his pupils, he never felt unduly constrained to follow even his own assignment sheet. Instead of the beauties of Hamlet, as announced, his students might receive a dissertation upon the mating habits of pigeons (some having coincidentally appeared in the classroom window) with only the very pith end marrow of the Hamlet problem telescoped into the period's final two minutes.
Widely Informed
He impressed his students, and does even yet. as being one of those rare persons whose talk deserves the adjective "brilliant," even on the most banal of subjects. In his mouth, the art of fishing and the choice and construction of flies, for example (which he for one would never content to brand as banal), become almost an epic. As a teacher, he had a keen quiet sense of humor and an immense and sudden Irish temper. "Be quiet." he'd address his class preparatory to a lecture. "I have a few pearls to cast." He lost his temper, when he lost it. in a most wonderful fashion. He rarely, if ever, allowed himself the luxury of profanity and he even more rarely the release of hurling blackboard erasers. Bui to his students it sometimes seemed as if he were capable of lifting and throwing his whole desk, let alone an eraser. Even before John Kieran became a sort of human test-your-strength device by which to measure prodigy of whatever age, Mr. Harn impressed his students as enormously and discouragingly informed on all manner of things. His memory, especially for poetry, was and is prodigious. Not only can he quote scene after scene from Shakespeare, for example, but he can quote the changes in the scenes from edition to edition. " He had a preference for red ties, which time has sobered to black, and like every good Irishman, loved a fight.
Nothing Like A Fight
He got into the thick of one at the first City-Poly game after he joined the Polytechnic faculty in 1904. Ostensibly, he, an instructor, was supposed to separate the struggling students. Instead, he encouraged the Poly youths himself, and capitalized upon the confusion to knock off with his cane the hat from the head of the Polytechnic vice-principal, for whom he had small use, then or now. Later that afternoon, he was called before the principal, who was then Willian R. King, "Mr. Harn," said the principal, "your action this afternoon was highly reprehensible, highly reprehensible but it was the best thing you've ever done!" "Yes, I always enjoyed those City-Poly fights," Mr. Harn smiles in retrospect, "and would yet, if they hadn't moved them out to the Stadium, where I can't get to 'em." As a matter of fact, Mr. Harn- has had to fight for much of the success which has been his in life. He was born, the son of a cotton-mill worker, in Alberton, in Howard county, on April 7, 1870. April 7 that year happened to fall on Good Friday and he had to wait sixty-nine years before his birthday fell on Good Friday again. As a youth Mr. Harn did mill work, whitewashing and other odd jobs to work his way toward college. His mother, who was an Evans, traced her ancestry back to William Bradford, the second Governor of Plymouth colony, and of this genealogical blue ribbon Mr. Harn has always been very proud.
Got Book About Protestants
He entered Rock Hill College, a parochial school at Ellicott City, in 1S89. Although he had no high school education, having studied independently with preachers, and knew no foreign languages, he graduated in three years, with French, Latin and Greek. He was awarded a book, "The History of the Protestant Revolution," "for diligence" by his professor in Latin, and the faculty medal for "mental philosophy." This alone of all the medals and charms a scholar collects over a lifetime he still wears. The others, he says laughingly, he pawned. His first teaching position, was at a little elementary school at Roxbury Hills, where he was a pedagogical jack-of-all-trades. Former Governor Warfield was the first man to teach at Roxbury Mills and Mr. Harn the last. Mr. Harn says Warfield jokingly accused him of destroying the school. For four years he was principal of the graded schools at Ellicott City and then he went back to Rock Hill College as an instructor for a year. There he taught Greek and mathematics. Then came the nightmare that was five years of newspaper vagabondage, "I hit the high spots of life," Mr. Harn says of these turbulent years in what is probably a masterpiece of understandment. His marriage to Miss Pauline Mayfield for that was the stubborn young lady's name was a turning point in his life. He started teaching again at Calvert Hall, where once again he instructed in Greek and mathematics ... and Latin, which, he says, he always hated. After two years, he went to Pittsburgh to work in the office of a telephone company, was taken ill and returned to Baltimore to become a member of the secret service of the United Railways. The purpose of this job, Mr. Harn explains, "was to stop leakage on the line: the good men were rewarded, the bad one fired." "But I didn't like the work," he says, "I had to work every other Sunday." Finally, in 1904 he landed in Polytechnic to stay, But-now the secret can be told he first applied for a position at City and got one at Poly only because there were no vacancies at City. At Poly he taught English from the. very beginning. He had started to teach English at Calvert Hall when the regular English teacher died. Because he had done newspaper work the good fathers thought he should know something about English . . . and, by almost unpredicted coincidences, he did. Mrs. Harn died fourteen years ago, putting an end to a marriage of high and rare devotion. At about the same time, Mr. Harn finally gave up contributing to newspapers, which he had done, at space rates, sporadically ever since the great renunciation.
Now Lives Alone
Now he lives alone in a converted apartment in Forest Park. The front room is both his living room and his office. There are bookcases on either side of the folding doors at its rear and old pistols and swords hang from its walls. He is ??? to greet a caller in smoking jacket and a high, stiff collar, a label of his generation he has never seen fit to discard. The first thing he normally does is proffer a drink: Rye, Scotch, Bourbon anything you desire, he explains, except rum and gin. Then he excuses himself from joining you -because he is to have wine with his dinner instead. He hasn't changed much in appearance through the years. He is tall, spare and modelly erect. He still brushes his hair, now white, in a pompadour straight back from his forehead. His mind is still lightning quick. And he is still unreservedly outspoken and quick to flare at the mention of persons or things for which he has no respect. Ask him if he knows professor Such-and-such, a contemporary of whom you are fond and whom you therefore think will make a nice conversational bond, and, likely as not, he'll answer, "Certainly I know him; he's a damn fool.". But unless you know Mr. Harn, you can never be sure whether he intends such a pronouncement as a term of opprobrium or endearment. Such emphatic exaggerations are all a part of the ornate, climactic language with which he clothes the simplest thoughts.
Last To See Billy Alive
For example, it was typical that he should battle through the years with his first principal at Polytechnic, King, and yet at the end value him as one of his dearest friends. And it was equally typical that he should describe their last moment together, just before King's death, as he did. "I was the last to see Billy King alive," he recalled, "I took him a bottle of whisky, and he kissed me on the cheek." For companions, Mr. Harn has a housekeeper and a tomcat named Kingfish. The first time you visit him, he poses Kingfish on his hind legs on a dining room chair and, manipulating the cat's forelegs in forensic gestures, requests that he give his speech for the guest. The speech, actually delivered by Mr. Harn after the manner of a poor amateur ventriloquist, turns out invariably to be some manner of diatribe against the President. Too much spending, says Mr. Harn, returning to his natural voice, too much spending. He thinks there are a lot of things wrong with public schools, but that is another story. He is writing" what he calls a report on his "steward-ship" in the schools for Dr. Weglein's eyes alone.
Great Stakes With Fishing
If the doctor sees fit to disclose its contents, well and good; if not, Mr. Harn will keep his peace as best he can. Fishing is his consuming hobby and greatest pride. Twenty rods, all made by himself, hang on his dining-room wall; 600 flies, all tied by his hands, are filed in his desk drawers. He's very proud of his flies, which he gives to other fishermen. "Aren't they pretty?" He asks, fingering the colorful strands. "They've all got names, too: there's a Mickey Finn, there's Tiger; there's Black Ghost. Yessir, I've made a lot of friends with these flies."
Follows The Fish
Mr. Harn says he fishes wherever there are fish to be had. During the summer months he fishes mostly near Syracuse, where both his son and daughter have homes and where he knows twenty-six good fishing streams. He maintains a room in both his son's house and his daughter's house in Syracuse." "Then1 when one of them does something I don't like," he laughs, "I can go over and stay with the other until I cool off." He has two lessers hobbies. Poetry is one and being a "joiner" is the other. Now, for the first time in a busy life, he has more time than he knows what to do with. But he has a tentative schedule mapped out. "I'll loaf six months," he says, "then I'll review my Greek and mathematics, and then I'll write my obituary and go to sleep.". But everyone knows Elmer Harn will find a great deal more time to fish than that.

Polytechnic Bids Farewell to Elmer Harn

If it hadn't been for the stubbornness of the young lady who later became his wife, Elmer Harn, who retired two weeks ago after thirty-seven years as a teacher at Polytechnic Institute, might have spent his life in a newspaper city room instead of behind a professor flat-top desk. For so long as he worked at being a newspaperman, the future Mrs. Harn wouldn't have him. "I followed after that girl for nine years," he explains, as if recalling a losing battle, "but she said she would never marry a newspaperman, who changed night into day." So, as any good Irishman would, Mr. Harn "pitched the job for the girl"' and turned to teaching. And he has never regretted the choice. He considers it the wisest thing he ever did. In that, most of the thousands of students he taught at Polytechnic in the past three-and-a-half decades will agree, regardless of the merits of the musical and literary criticisms which made up most of his newspaper writings.
An Unpredictable Manner
They remember him, more and more fondly as he comes within the focus of a more mature perspective, as a wild-eyed, emotional and highly eccentric Irishman, who was just as often in trouble with the school administration as they were themselves. His manner of teaching was informal and unpredictable. He would sit upon his desk, or in a window, or stand with one foot on a chair. In short, his manners were largely those of the newsroom, for whose sloppy freedom he has always borne a great fondness. He never placed much stock in textbooks, or the teacher who instructed by them. And, happily for his pupils, he never felt unduly constrained to follow even his own assignment sheet. Instead of the beauties of Hamlet, as announced, his students might receive a dissertation upon the mating habits of pigeons (some having coincidentally appeared in the classroom window) with only the very pith end marrow of the Hamlet problem telescoped into the period's final two minutes.
Widely Informed
He impressed his students, and does even yet. as being one of those rare persons whose talk deserves the adjective "brilliant," even on the most banal of subjects. In his mouth, the art of fishing and the choice and construction of flies, for example (which he for one would never content to brand as banal), become almost an epic. As a teacher, he had a keen quiet sense of humor and an immense and sudden Irish temper. "Be quiet." he'd address his class preparatory to a lecture. "I have a few pearls to cast." He lost his temper, when he lost it. in a most wonderful fashion. He rarely, if ever, allowed himself the luxury of profanity and he even more rarely the release of hurling blackboard erasers. Bui to his students it sometimes seemed as if he were capable of lifting and throwing his whole desk, let alone an eraser. Even before John Kieran became a sort of human test-your-strength device by which to measure prodigy of whatever age, Mr. Harn impressed his students as enormously and discouragingly informed on all manner of things. His memory, especially for poetry, was and is prodigious. Not only can he quote scene after scene from Shakespeare, for example, but he can quote the changes in the scenes from edition to edition. " He had a preference for red ties, which time has sobered to black, and like every good Irishman, loved a fight.
Nothing Like A Fight
He got into the thick of one at the first City-Poly game after he joined the Polytechnic faculty in 1904. Ostensibly, he, an instructor, was supposed to separate the struggling students. Instead, he encouraged the Poly youths himself, and capitalized upon the confusion to knock off with his cane the hat from the head of the Polytechnic vice-principal, for whom he had small use, then or now. Later that afternoon, he was called before the principal, who was then Willian R. King, "Mr. Harn," said the principal, "your action this afternoon was highly reprehensible, highly reprehensible but it was the best thing you've ever done!" "Yes, I always enjoyed those City-Poly fights," Mr. Harn smiles in retrospect, "and would yet, if they hadn't moved them out to the Stadium, where I can't get to 'em." As a matter of fact, Mr. Harn- has had to fight for much of the success which has been his in life. He was born, the son of a cotton-mill worker, in Alberton, in Howard county, on April 7, 1870.
