JOHN S. HARVEY. (DECEASED.) insert photo
One of the largest landed proprietors, and a prominent citizen, universally esteemed and respected, resident of this town, was he of whom we write. Mr. John S. Harvey was born in the town of Marcellus, County of Onondaga, State of New York, in June, 1805. He immigrated to Cattaraugus County, February 11, 1827, and first settled in that portion of Little Valley now known as New Albion. Before leaving Onondaga County, however, he married (in 1827) Miss Thedey Reed, who was born in 1805.
Jonathan Reed, father of Mrs. Harvey, was a native of Massachusetts, of Puritan stock, and a descendant of Revolutionary sires illustrious in the annals of our country's history. He was born before the struggle for Independence (in 1774), and during the administration of our second President (in 1798) moved westward to New York State, taking up his pioneer residence in Onondaga County, which at that date was an unsettled wilderness. He followed farming all his life, and died in 1829,aged 55 years.
Medad Harvey, father of our subject, became a resident of Onondaga County, New York, about the year 1800. He purchased and settled upon a farm in the town of Marcellus, where his son, John S., was born, passed his youth, obtained his education, and "followed the plow" until he attained his twenty-second year, when he married and moved west to make himself a home in Western New York, a previously mentioned. The family of Mr. J. E Harvey numbers three sons, -Hiram R., Alfred B and Frank J. Harvey, -all of whom are living Hiram, in Cattaraugus village; Alfred, in the village of Randolph, this county; and F. J., about a mile from Waverly, in the town of Otto. John S. Harvey was the owner of six hundred and twenty-five acres of land in Cattaraugus County.
Politically, Mr. Harvey acted with the Democratic Party, at whose hands he received several offices of honor and trust, among others that of supervisor of the town of New Albion. He was an active member of the Baptist denomination, and contributed liberally to the support of that society. He died February 1, 1871, aged sixty-six years. His remains repose in the cemetery at Waverly. His widow still survives at the age of seventy-three, quite hale an hearty for a person of her years. The original home stead is now owned by his second son, Alfred B. Harvey. To the memory of his parents, Frank. Harvey * has caused their portraits to be here inserted, in connection with the record of their lives and thus handed down to future generations.
* A fine view of F. J. Harvey’s residence, and portraits of himself and wife, may also be seen in this work.
