He was a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge of Lebanon and Methoidst Church of Waveland. Harve, as he was familiarly known was a hard working, industrious citizen, a good neighbor and a true friend -- devoted and faithful to his wife, and children at every turn -- for them he lived and labored -- for them he loved and carried on. His home was his castle and within its sacred precincts his happiest hours were spent. His home to the stranger, might seem humble, but there was at all times burning in it a light of devotion, a faithfulness and love, coupled with childhood laughter and mellowed with smiles of tender affection that made it most beautiful. it was within this sphere he reigned as an uncrowned king and from a simple life well lived he obtained and enjoyed many of life's richest treasurers...may he rest in peace.
