William Alfred HARPHANT was born in Clifton, Ohio, on 24 December 1877, the son of Thomas HARPHANT and Margaret HAYSLETT HARPHANT. He spent his entire life in or near the Clifton, Ohio, community. He had been a cream and poultryman and retired from the Sherman and White Co. in 1953 after 25 years of service. William HARPHANT was a member of the Cliffside Presbyterian Church and a veteran of the Spanish-American War. He enlisted in Company B, Third Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. They were mustered into service at Columbus, Ohio, on 10 May 1898 by Captain C.M. Rockefeller (9th Infantry USA) and mustered out at Columbus, Ohio, on 16 October 1898 by Lieutenant C.D. Roberts (17th Infantry USA).

Viola HUFFMAN HARPHANT was born in Jamestown, Ohio, on 21 April 1883, the daughter of Jacob and Ameda (Anna) CLINE HUFFMAN. She had lived the last 33 years of her life in the Clifton, Ohio, community and was a member of the Clifton Presbyterian Church.

Eleven children were born to William and Viola: William Everett (died young), Anna Mae (born 2 October 1901), Charles W. (born 1904), Robert R. (born 20 June 1905), Harry J. (born 1914), Dorothy, Albert Leslie (born 12 December 1917), Kenneth (born 1920), Ruby, Fannie Josephine (born 29 March 1924), and Harold Howard (born 19 October 1926).

Viola HUFFMAN HARPHANT died on 6 June 1952 in the Fairborn Nursing Home (Fairborn, Ohio) of heart disease at the age of 69. She had been in failing health for about 12 years but her condition became critical in the final five months of her life. William Alfred HARPHANT died on 25 September 1964 in the Springfield City Hospital, Springfield, Ohio, of a ruptured appendix caused by cancer at the age of 86. Both are buried in the Clifton Cemetery just northwest of Clifton, Ohio.
