Dear Carol,
I left the Harvey brick wall for my Brown family brick wall and have just now recieved your follow-up. We share the same Harvey family. Tillie was my grandmother, and Raymond, LA was named after her husband. I'm trying once again to see if I can find the parents of Solomon Harvey, George's father. I know Solomon was the justice of the peace in La Porte, Iowa around 1886. George was a lawyer in the same town, but was disbarred for fighting, I believe, during a trial. He became a salesman and died after a cart accident. George was married to Grace Sprenkle. My grandmother Tillie died before I was born and so I know little about her, other than at some point she was a police matron in Waterloo, Iowa. Her brother John worked as a set designer in theatres in Chicago. I'm sorry I've taken so long to respond. Hope this helps a little! Best, Mary
