"Andrew Harvey, with his wife Mary (Noble) Harvey, came to Andrew County in the spring of
1841 from Breathitt County, Lost Creek, Kentucky. Their four children came with them. The youngest
child was three weeks old. They settled on a farm four miles southwest of Savannah, Missouri, in Lincoln
Township. Later, he gave a plot of ground for the Washington School. After they moved to Missouri, four
more children were born. The second child, the oldest son, was George Washington Harvey. In 1862, he
married Sarah Moser, a neighbor girl. They settled two miles southeast of his parents' home where they
built a beautiful brick house.
"George Washington Harvey was a progressive leader in the community. He was one of the
founders of the Masonic Lodge in Savannah. He was a partner in the Amazonia flour mill with his brother-
in-law, Peter Moser. The G.W. Harveys became the parents of ten children. He employed teachers to come
into his home during the winter months to tutor his children for additional education.
"The G.W. Harvey children were" Amanda, married William Rogers (no children); Peter, married
Maggie Mace (one daughter, Blanche). Maggie deceased; second wife was Leota Barnum (one daughter,
Vera); Elizabeth died young; Anna married James Miner (children; an infant son, Rachel, Sarah, Everett
died in infancy); Lorren Thomas married Minnie Zimmerman (two children: Dale Z. and Beatrice); George
died in early childhood; Mary married Jesse Crowley (one daughter Lucile); Jessie died young; Emmett
married Drucilla Angsten (children: Raymond, Weldon, Catherine); Chester married Pearl Waller
(children: Forest, Geneva, Dorothy).
"One of the sons of George Washington Harvey was L.T. Harvey. He was active in public affairs,
a farmer, banker, and in later years, owned and managed the first Studebaker Car Agency in St. Joseph. His
son, Dale, was a farmer and businessman in Blythedale, Missouri for many years. Dale married Emma
Miller. Their children are: Thomas, Dorothy, Beverly and Dean. Thomas is currently Superintendent of the
North Andrew R-6 School System. He married Elizabeth Webb of Bethany. To this union was born three
children: Thomas Webb, Nancy and Mary.
"The James Miner's daughter Rachel married Roy Schenk, an Amazonia businessman. Their children were:
Verna Jean and Glenys. Sarah has been very helpful to many people in a nursing capacity.
The youngest son of the G.W. Harveys was Chester. He was a farmer, active in community, had
an Amazonia car agency, and was superintendent of the Sunday school at the Methodist Church for forty-
five years. His son, Forest, married Anna Bauman. Their children are: Gene, Valletta, and Donna Mae.
Forest owned and operated a garage-service station in Amazonia which was a community asset. Geneva
married Preston Slade of Helena. They had two sons: John Harvey and David. She taught in rural Andrew
County and in an Iowa High School. Dorothy married Willis Bullock of Amazonia. Their two sons are
Gary and roger. Dorothy taught school in Andrew County and now has a pre-school in her home near
Cosby, Missouri.

W.T. Rogers, having purchased a half interest in 1901. He was born in 1878 and raised on a farm near
Amazonia, and worked with his father, G.W. Harvey, in the milling business awhile. Miss Drucilla
Angston, of St. Joseph, became his wife in January, 1902."
"W.T. Rogers is in the general merchandise business with E.O. Harvy, having started in that work
in 1898. He came from LaRue county, Kentucky, in 1873, when he was 16 years old, and lived in
Amazonia awhile, and married Miss Amanda Harvy in 1890. They moved to St. Joseph and Mr. Rogers
worked for the Kennard Grocery Co. Returning to Amazonia, he worked for the G.W. Harvy Mill
Company until the mill burned, and then started a store with O.W. Stewart, whom he bought out and ran
the store along until Mr. Harvy became his partner."
