He attended Stanton County District #30 near Stanton. Farmed with his parents south of Stanton and worked on other farms until WWII broke out. He then moved to Dayton, Ohio and worked at a factory making rivets for aircraft production. Harley enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps on July 11, 1942 after a few weeks of basic training was on a ship to England, and later into France, Belgium, and finally Germany. He was assigned to the 10th Depot supply squadron of the 9th Air Force Division serving Normandy, northern Rhineland, central Europe until he was honorably discharged on June 19, 1945. Harley returned to farming and feeding cattle south of Stanton in 1945 and began a life in agriculture production.
On May 20, 1947 Harley married Mary Ann Hrouda at New New England Congregational United Church of Christ in Stanton. The couple made their home farming and feeding cattle north of Leigh. In 1986 the couple moved into Stanton but Harley continued farming with his son.

Flowers are temporary as is this current pandemic.
