HARVEY, John R. (New Orleans, LA, Sept. 4, 1812--Unknown) In early boyhood Harvey's parents died; he went to New Haven, Connecticut to school. Later he moved to Philadelphia, where he learned his trade of painting. Arriving in Dubuque sometime later, his first contract was painting for Henry L. STOUT and his next was painting the court house.
Harvey was prominently associated with the Order of the I.O.O.F., since 1834. He passed all the chairs in 1836 and was representative to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in 1837. He was one of the oldest Past Grands in Iowa, if not in the country. In 1877 Harvey recalled the full and complete history of the organization of Harmony Lodge, No. 2 , the first lodge organized in Dubuque.
Harvey was clerk of the first election held in Delaware County.
