Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of Alfred C. Harmer: Delivered in the House of Representatives and Senate, Fifty-Sixth Congress, Second Session

Mr. Bingham. Mr. Speaker, it is more than a sad duty, and certainly most painful to me, personally, to announce to the House the decease of my esteemed and loved colleague, the Hon. Alfred C. Harmer, late a member of Congress from the State of Pennsylvania.

He was recognized, as of right, "the Father of the House," by reason of long-continued service, and not only that, but was esteemed the father of the House, because of the affection and high regard that the members of this body held for him.

It is not my purpose at this time to make any extended remarks, but I would feel that I was doing far less than my affection calls for if I did not say a few words in tribute to the deceased.

Alfred C. Harmer was born in 1825 in Germantown, now a part of the city of Philadelphia. From his twenty-first year he commenced his public service as a representative of his people, and until the day of his death, with but few years of intermission, he continued their representative, either in the councils of the city, in offices of trust, or as a member of this body.
