In commercial circles of Baltimore the name of Harn has long been synonymous with enterprise, reliability and integrity, and the initiative spirit and executive force of the father are ably supplemented by the well-directed efforts of his son, John Edwin Harn, a civil engineer by profession and a member of one of the largest construction firms in the city.
John Edwin Harn was born in Baltimore, July 12, 1892 and comes of Scotch and Irish ancestry, whose sturdy qualities he has inherited.

He was an honored veteran of the Civil war, gallantly defending the Union cause, and his death occurred in Baltimore when he was seventy-six years of age. He had married Leoline Elizabeth Evans, who survives him and has reached the age of seventy-seven.
They had a family of six children, of whom Willard Eugene was the second in order of birth, his natal day being June 9, 1918.

Barrett, Dr. Gordon Wilson, Thomas R. Brown, William H. Bryan and others. The work of the company represents the highest degree of skill in the builders' art and the firm has established an unassailable reputation for business integrity and reliability.
