Born March 20, 1828. Judge Harvey came to Sidney in 1856 and engaged in the practice of law. While a member of the state legislature he drafted the prohibition amendment to Iowa constitution which swept the state in 1882, and he was likewise responsible for the passage of other laws relative to prohibition enforcement. The Harvey home was the old brick house in southwest Sidney, known as the McCracken place. It is claimed that most of the brick used in this house were made by the noted jurist’s hands. Mr. Harvey died at his home in Perry, and was buried in Sidney cemetery.
