He has a sister, Mamie. He attended country school. During his school years he helped do the usual farm chores and field work. He also helped his Dad build a rock wall that served as a pasture fence for many years. He enjoyed horseback riding, hunting and made extra money by setting traps in the winter on the Heart River. These furs were shipped to the Mass and Steffen Inc Company at St. Louis, Missouri. He helped mine coal from the Green Ridge area of the Heart River. His summers were spent doing field work with horse drawn equipment. After he finished school he worked at home until he got a job at the Bethke Coal mine where he received $1.00 a day. One summer was spent with Harold Held where they did threshing for $.50 a day plus room and board. He also worked for various farmers breaking horses, tending and moving cattle and etc. He helped his uncles, Alvin and Max, with many rodeos that were held by the Heart River. To make the arena, they used the river for one fence line and lined up cars on the other sides. It was in 1933, that Harvey started dating Elda Amanda Margerite Held, born the 6th July 1918, the daughter of George and Ida (Hoffman) Held. She attended local country schools up to the 8th grade. Getting to school was either done by walking, by buggy, by sled in the winter or by skiing. Because of her mothers asthma problem she stayed at home to work after she finished the 8th grade. When Elda was 16 she worked for the Bill Joerz family of Almont taking care of household duties. She also worked a summer for the Albert Grim family and returned home. Harvey and Elda usually dated by horseback or buggy. House parties, dances at Big Heart Hall, baseball games, church socials and just hanging around with the neighborhood gang were their dating days. In 1934 Harvey and Clarence Schwartz bummed a ride on a local train to Minneapolis, Minnesota where he purchased his first car, a 1929 Ford Coupe for $125.00. On the 11th of October 1936 Harvey and Elda were married at the home of her parents with Art and Dorothy Bethke as their attendants. They made their first home on what is now known as the Ricky Ritz farm. Harvey worked at the coal mine then. In the spring of 1937 they moved to Judson where they rented the Henry Albrecht farm (Grant Loehrke now owns this). It was here they started farming with the use of teams and horse drawn equipment. Their first child, Glenn was born on the 10th of January 1938. He was named Prince of the Year being the 1st baby of that year born. He was born in a home at New Salem with Dr. O.C. Gaebe in attendance. When living in Judson, Elda made extra money by washing clothes for railroad crews that stayed near the depot. She earned $.25 for doing 6 or 7 shirts. In 1940 they moved to the Louis Waechter farm just outside of New Salem. Harvey continued with farming. Glenn contacted polio while living here. Little was known about this disease at that time and Glenn was treated by having to wear a full body cast with his left arm supported up in the air. He recovered with just losing some support of his left arm muscles. Betty Lou Ida joined their family on the 6th of July 1940. She was born at the farm home with Dr O.C. Gaebe in attendance. In 1945 they moved to the Adolf Slavick farm where Peggy Jean, born the 9th of February 1946 joined the family. She was born at the Mandan Hospital with Dr H.A. Wheeler in attendance. In 1946 Harvey became ill and spent 6 weeks in the hospital. During this time the neighbors held a farming bee and put in his entire crop. In 1948 Harvey and Elda purchased the Carl Westmeyer farm where they presently live. In 1960 Betty married Leroy Moltzen, born the 10th of May 1940, son of Raymond and Hilma Moltzen. They farm north of New Salem. They have 4 children, Delonnes, Tamara, Kevin and Kendra. In 1962 Harvey's Dad passed away and he acquired the home place where he grew up. In 1963 Glenn married Judith Eckroth, born the 19th of June 1942, daughter of John and Flora Eckroth. They live at Harvey, North Dakota with their 2 sons, Bruce and Darrick. In 1964 Peggy married Rodney Reuther, born the 12th of March 1943. They live west of Mandan with their 2 daughters, Micki Lynn and Bobbi Jo. Harvey was a member of the New Salem Rodeo Association and the Sportsman Club. He is a charter member of the New Salem Weighing Station. Elda was a member of the Women's Guild of the Bethel Church. They are now semi-retired with both of them working part time at Elm Crest at New Salem.
