    L. E. HARVEY

    L. E. Harvey, one of the leaders among the younger members of the Miami county bar, has been engaged in practice at Bradford since 1913. He was born at Savannah, Ohio, in 1883, a son of John and Martha (Shire) Harvey, farming people of that vicinity, who were well known and highly respected in their community. One of a family of two sons and two daughters, L. E. Harvey received his early education in the public schools of his native place, following which he attended Baldwin University and Wooster University Summer school. He next pursued a law course at the Ohio State University, from which he was duly graduated and was admitted to practice in 1912. Like many who have met with success at the bar, Mr. Harvey was compelled to educate himself for the most part, and in order that he might obtain the necessary preparatory training was obliged for a time to follow the vocation of school teaching. He was principal of the school at Savannah for a time, later became superintendent of the centralized schools of Ruggles township, Ashland county, for three years, and for one year was assistant principal of the high school at Ashland. He began his law practice at Columbus, but in February, 1913, came to Bradford, where he has since centered his activities, and at this time has a large, prominent and growing clientele, having represented many important interests. Mr. Harvey belongs to the various organizations of his profession, and his abilities are held in high esteem by his fellow practitioners and by his clients. During the period of the World war, he acted, as an associate member of the local draft board, and took part in the activities of the Red Cross, Young Men's Christian Association, etc., also being chairman of the local war stamp campaign. Mr. Harvey married Edna, daughter of Abdel Dunham, of Bradford.
