The following is from an undated (ca 1940) Faribault Daily News Newspaper:
Oscar Harn will be 82 years old next September. Since he moved from St. Anthony, then a town, itself, across the river from Minneapolis, he has seen a good deal of life in the vicinity of Faribault. There's nothing he likes more that to sit down, settle himself comfortably and relate interesting stories and anecdotes from out of the many things he's seen and done in the past. Mr. Harn combines a remarkable memory of names, places, and events with a real ability for telling a story and through his stories a listener can get a picture of life in Faribault and its vicinity in the time, when, as he says, "the French church was outside of town." Mr. Harn has another hobby that works well with his fondness for reminiscences. He collects old Indian relics, not with the passion that passion that sends some people out to spade up mounds, but with a casual, agreeable kind of interest. (article continues on a missing page)
