Daniel HARVEY, a Hersey township farmer, owns and resides on the northeast quarter of section 28. Besides his farming interests he is interested largely in thoroughbred stock, his specialties being Percheron horses and Shorthorn cattle.

Mr. HARVEY descends from a family of old settlers in the state of New York. His father, Henry HARVEY, was born in Crawford county, Pa., and now resides in Milford, Iowa. His mother, Sarah (KELLY) HARVEY, is a native of Ohio. To these parents was born Daniel E. HARVEY in Allamakee county, Iowa, Sept. 3, 1868. For eighteen years he lived in the county of his birth, working on the farm and securing an education in the schools of Monona, Clayton county, Iowa. In 1886 he moved with his parents to Cerro Gordo county, which was his home until 1898, with the exception of the year 1889, when he was in the lumber business in Seattle, Wash. During the last three years of his residence in Iowa he farmed for himself on a rented farm.

In 1898 Mr. HARVEY moved to Worthington and for one year was engaged in the hay business, in the employ of the Devereaux Commission company. He then moved onto his Hersey township farm, which he had purchased In 1897, and that has been his home since.
