The house had belonged to the late Deborah Harsha and was sold to a man from out of town several months ago. Might be helpful to mention that our had no involvement with the Harsha family, considering they are a very reputable and prominent family in Hillsboro and Highland County.

The Harsha Family has owned Harsha Monument Co since 1853...currently, I believe, the 5th or 6th generation. Two of the Harsha men have been mayors of Hillsboro (including Justin Harsha, our current major). Harshas have been active in civic and church affairs in our community. Charles M Harsha served faithfully on Highland County Historical Society board of trustees. I would call them a prominent family.

Justin Harsha is our mayor. He grew up here & his family has a history of involvement in the community & businesses. You can look up articles about him/them in the Highland County Press or online.

Why are you amazed and surprised? Dr. Khatri is the current mayor's brother-in-law. Of course he would know the history of the property and of course this community's news is important to him and his immediate family.
