This was from the Pocahontas Democrat, IA, Thursday July 5, 1906:

C. J. Harvey was born in Colden, Erie county, New York, September 16, 1847; died in Havelock, June 27, 1906. At the age of 11 years he came with his grandfather to Iowa, where he has spent the greater part of his life. He was married to Mary Mickey, Nov. 2nd, 1870, at Aplington, Iowa. In 1886 he came to Havelock, where he has since lived. He leaves three children, two brothers and two sisters to mourn his death. Mr. Harvey has been identified in business ways in Havelock. At one time he had a general hardware and implement store, also blacksmith and woodwork shop. He held many responsible offices of the town and served all well. He was a kind neighbor. His wife preceded him over three years ago. We shall all mourn his death yet it must come to all. His sufferings for eight months were severe. From the first of his illness there was every effort put forth by physician and nurses to relieve him, all to no avail. The funeral of Mr. Harvey was held at the M. E. church, last Friday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, conducted by the Odd Fellows of this place, and neighboring lodges. J. C. Potter acted as funeral director. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Tompkins of Primgher, formerly pastor here, assisted by Rev. Clifton and Reb. Wilson. After which J. C. Harvey , familiarly called Joe, was laid in tomb, mourned by all, as his general temperment made hosts of friends.

Among a number of others who attended the funeral of Mr. Harvey were: Chas. Pattee, Jake Winegarden, Art Terry and C. C. Povee from Pocahontas.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Harvey, who has been here some two weeks helping care for Mr. Harvey, returned to their home at Sherman, New York.
