Born in Indiana in 1828, Harvey joined his brother as a partner in Meacham Brothers, which operated Meacham Station, a stage route on the way to Pendleton.
Harvey died young, killed while falling a tree in 1872, when a falling branch struck him on the temple. His brother Alfred went on to become, among other accomplishments, the author of "Wigwam and Warpath, or the Royal Chief in Chains".
