Harvey Clark has passed through a varied business career from the farm at Westfield, N.J., where he was born in 1823, to the beautiful ten acre ranch, which he now occupies in Redlands.\u00a0 He is of English descent.\u00a0 He spent the first twenty-two years of his life at Westfield, farming and engaged in the tanning business.\u00a0 Then, with his savings of $200, he went to Piqua, Ohio.\u00a0 Much of this journey was made by canal, the Erie from Albany to Buffalo, and the Miami canal from Toledo to Cincinnati.\u00a0 This latter trip was in the first packet that passed over the Miami canal in July, 1845, and it consumed three days in the journey from Toledo to Cincinnati.\u00a0 At Piqua Mr. Clark was a grocer, wholesale and retail, a manufacturer of threshing machines and interested in quarries.\u00a0 He was a member of the city council and school board and at one time mayor of the city.<\/p>\n
