Harold was baptized May 24, 1926 and later confirmed on September 15, 1940 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Warrenton, Texas. In later years he was a member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Round Top, Texas.

Harold attended Warrenton School and La Grange High School. As a young man Harold took care of his ill mother and the family farm after his father died at a young age. He was employed by Consolidated Lockers in La Grange as a meat processor and later at Eckerman’s doing the same.
