Alton Sankie Hervey and family. Alton was born at Concordia, KS. Nov 24, 1885, the seventh child of Henry Harrison Hervey and Lucia Stoner Hervey. After the death of Lucia Stoner Hervey, Alton Sankie and his sister Zula Zon Hervey were adopted by Peter and Mary Harsh and Alton apparently kept the last name "Harsh" all his life. He married Frances Ruchty February 14, 1908 in Lewis, Washington. Francis apparently was also adopted by a Harsh family and her name is listed as Ruchty-Harsh on her marriage certificate. However, it is not certain if it was the same Harsh family. Their daughter was Viola May Harsh and their son was Hubert Hervey Harsh.

Notes:

Henry was a farmer in Summit Township on top of the divide between Condordia and Beloit. The homestead place was called "The Light-house". Hervey used to light a large oil lamp, put it on a table in the center of his little 16 by 20 shack, put up the shade and let the light shine out of the windows that were built in three sides of the shack. "Many a night, my wife and I took people in when they had lost their way on the road." A Concordia news article had the above information, when, at age 78, Henry returned to Concordia for Decoration Day. He had left Concordia after his wife died and was living in Iowa and Missouri with his 13 children.
