| Carl e. Harvey, who died at his home ia
I Rochester on the 9th of February, 1900,
was son OF the late Thomas b, Harvey,
and was born in Rochester Sept. 3, 1915
| He began his commercial career on his
/ twenty first birthday when he commenc-
ed work for the firm of j. IL. rrask a Co.
| In their store in Rochester village, where
he was employed by the succeeding firms
| till 1873, when he became senior parIDer
with Flynn A. Guernsey in the firm OF
Harvey, Guernsey a Co. The new firm
took the business and continued it in the
same store for five years. Then John X.
Tupper, Esq, took the place OF senior
partner, and with Mr.. Harvey formed the
| tirm Of Tupper, Harvey 4 Cow carried
on the business until 1856 Then Mr..
Harvey Joined II. II. Cushman OF Roches-
ter in the firm OF Harvey a Cushmsn that
bought out the general merchandise busi-
ness OF F. +. Wsshburn, and carried it on
at Rochester for the next five years. In
1896 Mr.. Harvey, in company with Geo.
n. Harvey under the firm name OF Harvey
a Harvey, purchased the saw and grist
mills at Rochester, which they continued
to own and operate down to the time OF
his death.
In 1865 Mr.. Harvey was appointed as
sistant postmaster; and after 1873, during
the presideneies OF Hayes, Arthur, Harri-
son and Mckinley, he was postmaster at
Rochester, and always popular in that
position. He held many town offices; and
he was greatly interested i'm the Cong'l
church for which he was long time coll
lector.
Ofthe ills which flesh is heir TO, Mr.
Harvey suffered without complaint his
null Ich AN hfla vgf q hpu nm ~ his
was impaired and permanently shortened
by a fever sore, but the resulting limeness
never prevented him from being a very
active man on his feet. He was a most
devoted husband TO his wife, Ella Hunt
ington Harvey, who, at the birth OF
their only child who died in infancy some
25 years ago, became permanent invalid,
most OF the time since confined To her
bed or couch; yet there are few married
couples bet ween whom exist more gen.
uine affection, and from whom have been
heard less complaint. Carl {. Harvey had
a disposition OF sunshine, ever cheerful,
ever ready TO assist a neighbor and TO
grant any favor that Law In his power; in
deed il would be hard to ind one that
has ever asked favor OF him and been
denied.
"He added to the sum OF human hsppi-
ness The loss To the community Is
great, but he loss 10 the great number OF
those who held him IS q near and personal
TREND, Is yet deeper and more significant.
To the grieving and suffering wife who is
left so lonely, ali hearts go out In the
warmest sympathy. The memory oi Carl /
q. Harvey and his brave and cheerful way
of meeting all life's duties and difficulties
will long be kept green in this communi- I
ty, snd bis bright example will long be 4
cherished and followed.
Mr. Harvey had for number OF years
acted as ageut and correspondent for this I
paper in Rochester, and when the Roches- /
ter HERALD was started last wear be be- /
came its local editor. We have always 1
found him active, enterprising and alert,
scrupu lou-ly honest and careful In busi- /
ness, aud genial and obliging in personal /
ity.-ED
