Henry Harshberger is mentioned in the book Church of the Brethren in
Southern Illinois, p. 83. It states that he was among the first Brethren
families to become part of the Salem Congregation (1869-1917) and to settle
in Marion Co. after coming from Ohio. In 1868 a communion meeting was held
in his barn. He and his wife are listed as charter members. He and Andrew
Neher were elected ministers at the time of organization..
