He attended Red Bank High School, graduating in 1912. He attended Cooper Union College from 1912–13 and Columbia University Teachers Extension from 1913–16. He worked as a chemist at Bull & Roberts, in New York, NY from 1912–20, and returned there later for a succession of positions starting in 1943: secretary-treasurer (1943–59); assistant to the president (1962); and consultant (1963–67). He served in the U.S. Navy during World War I from January 1, 1917, to February 13, 1919. He later became vice president of Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co. from 1946–70.

He married first Lucille Marie Hottendorf〔Lucille Marie (or Maria) Hottendorf was born about 1910. On September 1, 1939, she married Chester Arthur Lingle (Oct. 19, 1916 - June 15, 1993) while she was still married to Harold V. B. Voorhis, which resulted in Harold having the court terminate his marriage with Lucille in 1940. Lucille was a daughter of John Henry Carl Hottendorf (October 1872-1936), a German immigrant, and Johannah Susannah Ahlgren (March 8, 1891 - Dec. 31, 1955), who was born in Sawyers Bar, Liberty Township, Siskiyou County, California.

Hottendorf and his wife Johannah are both buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Yreka, Siskiyou County, California (Southwest Section, 32-1-5 and 32-1-6, which is a shared marker).
