Harvey, well known resident of Peaceville just south of Malvern, died at his home Tuesday evening at 11 o'clock, following a short illness. Mr. Harvey had suffered a stroke of paralysis Aug. 30 and he was unable to rally from that. The Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Baptist church in Malvern and will be conducted by the Rev. L. R. Bobbitt. Interment will be made in the Malvern cemetery. Mr. Harvey was born in Mooresville, Ind., and came to Iowa more than fifty years ago. He first lived near Sidney, moving from there to the home in Peaceville where he has lived for the past forty-four years. He is survived by his widow; a daughter, Mrs. B. F. Higgins, of Elgin, Ill.; four sons, B. E. of Macedonia, R. G. of Carson, Charley of Oakland, and Will of Chicago. The obituary and other particulars will be given next week. The Malvern Leader 17 September 1931 Funeral Services For D. W. Harvey Held on Friday Was a Resident of Mills County for Over Fifty Years Funeral services for D. W. Harvey, who passed away at his home in Peaceville last Tuesday evening, were held in the Baptist church in Malvern Friday afternoon, Sept. 11, conducted by the pastor, the Rev, L. R. Bobbitt. Mrs. L. A. Talbott and Mrs. F. R. Chantry, accompanied by Mrs. G. S. Eacrett, sang. Interment was made in the Malvern cemetery. The pall bearers were: Otto Kline, Guy Breeding, Carl Wilson, K. C. Dice, Will Hasselquist, and Ernest Rickabaugh, old neighbors and friends. Daniel William Harvey, son of Jonathan and Lucretia Harvey, was born near Mooresville, Morgan county, Ind., Oct. 18, 1850. He was married to Samantha V. Greeson Oct. 24, 1872. To them were born seven children, one of them, a daughter, dying at the age of two years. The living children are: Mrs. Benjamin Higgins of Elgin, Ill., B. E. Harvey of Macedonia, Charles A. of Hancock, Rolla G. of Carson, Clarence O. of Kansas City, Mo., and William G. of Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Harvey died April 17, 1887 leaving six small children. The father with the assistance of his daughter kept the family together for nine years when Mr. Harvey married Mrs. Annie Marsh Feb. 26, 1896, who still survives him. There are also eleven grandchildren and a stepson, George Marsh, of Malvern. The parents of Mr. Harvey were Quakers. In his younger days Mr. Harvey was a member of the Methodist church. A few days before his death he told his wife he was ready and willing to die and felt that he could not live very long. For six years he has been an invalid and suffered a great deal all this time. In all this he has had the loving care of his wife who has been blind for twelve years. Mr. Harvey passed away Sept. 8 at his home in Peaceville after having been a citizen of Mills county for a little over a half century. Had he lived until Oct. 16 he would have been eighty-one years old. In his sermon Mr. Bobbitt had the following: So today death has brought us to the house of God and the house of mourning, where we "weep with those that weep" to pay our last respects to one who has gone; to one who had given to him by God, 81 years of life, a goodly number of years; to a neighbor, friend, a citizen of our county for over fifty years. These fifty years in this county is the testimony he has left behind and are more convincing than anything I can say about his life and character since I have known him but a few months. The Bible says, "No man liveth unto himself." That is; we live our lives, we become a part of other people and they become a part of us. So has been the life of the one in whose mamory we gather here today. One of the children said to me: "He has been a good father and provider." No wonder that could have been said. If we think of the struggle of this father after his wife died leaving him with six small children to be both a father and a mother, and how, with the help of his daughter for nine years they fought the battle of keeping the home ties from breaking, and succeeded. Today we lay away the body of this father and husband and friend. As we do so we can remember what he said to his wife a short time before he passed away, "I am ready and willing to die and know that I cannot live very long." In this hope we lay away this body in the grave to await the resurrection; its spirit has gone to meet its Maker, who is just, loving, and who doeth all things well. What a comfort to know and believe in a God like that. The God Jesus taught ue to call, "Our Father who art in heaven."
