Harold Edwin Kirschemann was born June 25, 1928 to Theobold and Lydia (Maier) Kirschemann at their farm home in Wagendorf Township. His mother died when he was 7 ½ and was raised by a loving stepmother. He grew up on the farm and went to the country school. During his early years he worked for his uncles on their farms, started working for John D. Kirschemann in 1946, and went into farming for himself in 1956.
He was married on October 10, 1948 to Lorena Dohn at the Mott Methodist Church. They lived on his parent's farm until the spring of 1949, when they moved to Regent. Harold's joy was making farm equipment work the way it should and loving every minute of it. He loved bowling and having coffee with his friends. His eyes would light up when he saw his grandkids and now his great grandkids. To their union, three children were born, Leon, Linette and Cindy K.
