Harvey

(from Dec. 29, 1893 Watford Guide obituary)

Leander Harvey (1836–1893) was born in Hants County, Nova Scotia. His early life was spent on his father’s farm. He taught school for a short time, earning enough to advance him through college. He graduated at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Kingston, and the University of Pennsylvania. He was also a member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.

In the 1860s he came to the village of Napier in Middlesex County. In 1865 Dr. Harvey moved to Watford. In 1878 he formed a partnership with Dr. Uriah M. Stanley, and they practised together until 1890 when Dr. Stanley moved to Brantford. The firm of Harvey & Stanley was one of the best known in the area.

Dr. Harvey was survived by his wife and a family of four sons and two daughters.
