Harvey married Cornelia Matilda CROUCH about 1895 in Saluda, South Carolina. They had two sons in SC, Olin and Jesse Monroe. They then moved to Alton, Lafayette County, Florida. There they had two more sons, Willis Harvey, and William Marvin. Willis died before he was two years old. William became my grandfather.

            Harvey Monroe may have come to Florida before his family to help build a bridge over the Suwanne River. Later after the family moved to Florida, all the boys worked in the sawmill at Alton. The Sawmill cut lumber to be used in Sears & Roebuck kit houses, or so my grandfather used to say.
