Read More	Earl Harvey Who is one of Banner county's enterprising and successful farmers and ranchmen, has had much experience in this line of work, to which he has been accustomed since boyhood and engaged in since his school days ended. Almost all his life had been spent in Nebraska, but his birth took place March 19, 1881, in Jones county, Iowa. The parents of Mr. Harvey, George W. and Cora A. (Williams) Harvey now reside at Kimball, Nebraska. The father was a farmer and stockman in Iowa for many years. In 1885 he moved to Nebraska and three years later came to Banner county, where he homesteaded and secured a tree claim and pre-emption. He maintained the home there thirty years, then sold, bought property in Kimball and has lived retired ever since. He votes the Republican ticket but has never accepted a political office. Both parents of Earl Harvey are members of the Baptist church. Of their seven children the following survive: Lillian, who is the wife of John McKennon, of Merced, California; Charles, who lives in Montana; Ella, who is the wife of F. O. Baker, a banker at Bushnell, Nebraska; Arthur, who owns a garage at Gillette, Wyoming, married Mries Ricke; Earl, who belongs to Banner county; Nina, who is the wife of W. Deacon, who is employed in the post office at Omaha. Earl Harvey learned many lessons of thrift from his practical father in his youth. During the first ten years after the family came here, the father worked out every summer and left Earl and his brother to care for the homestead. They herded cattle on the home ranch and for the neighbors, and in that way, all of them, for the times, earned quite a sum of money. Mr. Harvey encouraged the boys to save their money and buy calves, and with a small herd secured in this way, they gained their start. In recalling those days Mr. Harvey tells many interesting things. He remembers when oxen were used in this section, and when a load of pine wood hauled many miles to town would bring two dollars, and a sack of flour could be bought for two dollars. Frank Baker had the first horse cart in this neighborhood, and William Silvus was envied by everybody when his well was completed, operated by windlass and horse power, the well bucket holding a half barrel of water. There have been many and wonderful developments since those days, and the present, when the public prints tell of Nebraska farmers being so progressive that on occasion, they do their threshing with electric motors not only in daytime but equally as well at night. Speaking of the portable motors brings the fact to mind that it was the father of Mr. Harvey's wife who brought the first portable sawmill into Banner county. Afterward he went into partnership with Solomon Langinaid and it was in this first portable sawmill that the lumber was prepared for the building of the first bridge and the first buildings at Gering. On February 22, 1905, Mr. Harvey was united in marriage to Miss Ethel Cross, a daughter of Benjamin and Cora A. (Williams) Cross, early pioneers of the county. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey have children as follows: Inez, born September 13, 1906; Helen, born February 10, 1908; Elma, born August 25, 1909; Asa, born September 9, 1912; Barrel, born October 23, 1914; Vernon, born April 14, 1917; and Elsie, born February 6, 1919. With his homestead and Kinkaid claim, Mr. Harvey now owns and operates seventeen hundred and forty acres of land, devoting one thousand acres to farm purposes and the rest to ranching. He breeds thoroughbred Hereford cattle and ships a car load annually. He has a good set of farm buildings and very comfortable home. He is industrious and progressive in the management of his ranch and enjoys the respect and regard of his neighbors. He belongs to the order of Knights of Pythias at Harrisburg, and in politics is a Republican.
