Harold was one of eight children born to Marion and Eva Train. Harold began his life in Trail, Oregon, until the sawmill his father and uncle owned burned down. After the fire, the family moved to Coquille, where Harold went to high school.

Harold met the love of his life, Jean Williams, at Coquille High School. After graduating, Harold was drafted. He returned six months later and, at the age of eighteen, he and Jean were married on October 20, 1945.  After the wedding, Harold returned to active duty for a year before he was finally able to return home.

Harold and Jean moved to Florence, Oregon, where Harold became an apprentice carpenter. After three years of marriage, Harold and Jean’s first child, Mike, was born. Three and a half years later, their second child, Kathy, came along.

The family moved to Reedsport in 1957 and Harold spend the rest of his working career with Long Bell and International Paper. Five years later, in 1962, Harold and Jean’s third and fourth children were born, twins Sharon and Karen.
