CLARKSON C. HARVEY was born in Brown Township, Morgan County, Ind., October
12, 1852. His parents, Robert and Sarah (Hadley) Harvey, were natives of
Ohio and North Carolina respectively, and of Scotch-Irish extraction. They
are Quakers, and in 1833 settled in Brown Township on a farm of 200 acres,
where they have since resided. Clarkson C. Harvey is the seventh son and
ninth child in a family of twelve children, and being raised on the farm,
received a very ordinary education in the district schools of his native
township, remaining at home until in this twenty-first year, when he went
into the employ of a grocery merchant in the town of Mooresville. About
seven months later, he went to Illinois, and worked for some time at farming
in Ford County. In September, 1874, he removed to Martinsville, where he
opened a restaurant, and at present enjoys a lucrative business. Mr. Harvey
is identified with the Republican party. He was married, January 14, 1877,
to Annis H. Gregory, a daughter of M. W. and O. D. Gregory, pioneers of
Morgan County. He is a member of the Methodist Church in good standing.
His wife has been attentive to her duties as a member of the Christian
Church. They have two children, Harlon and Olivia.
