Card trailed 2200 sheep from Montana to Alberta. At one time, Ephriam herded as many as twenty thousand sheep. Ephriam was originally married to Alice Bennion. His second marriage was to Sarah Elizabeth Carter (born at Saint George, Utah) on March 25, 1889 in Utah prior to coming to Alberta. In 1902 Ephriam Harker and Heber S.
