Martin J Harmon
March 21, 1932 — April 1, 2021
God brought Martin Harmon into this world March 21, 1932, at the family home of George and Marietta (Munson) Harmon, twelve miles southwest of Champion, NE. Martin completed grade school in country schools and graduated at Chase County High School in 1950.
Martin enlisted into the U.S. Air Force in April of 1952. Following instructions from military chaplains and the evangelistic preaching of a Baptist pastor at Wichita Falls, TX, he very thankfully accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior with sincere repentance of sins and complete trust in Jesus for eternal life in heaven. His life was completely changed. He then prayed to God much concerning his sweetheart and thus he married Delsa Montgomery on July 23, 1953. Their son David was born February 20, 1956, in San Antonio, TX.
Martin was discharged in April of 1956 and returned to farming. Upon accepting the call of God to the ministry, he attended Western Bible Institute of Denver, CO, in the fall of 1960 and graduated in the spring of 1963. For the next 23 years he pastured growing congregations in independent churches in Nebraska, California and Wyoming.
Upon completing his ministry he returned to Imperial where he greatly enjoyed being with his family circle and grandchildren. He and Delsa took their two grandchildren on many camping trips, which was a source of great joy. Martin also worked part time with his son in the tree removal business. He spoke often in local churches that needed temporary pulpit supply, and for many years held Sunday morning services for the Imperial nursing home.
On April 1, 2021, Martin went home to heaven to be forever with God. He was 89 years of age.
Martin was preceded in death by his wife of 67 years, Delsa; brothers Levi and Harold; brother-in-law Elwin Morse; sisters-in-law Mary and Alice Harmon; and nephew Arlyn Morse.
