OLDEST RESIDENT OF WELLS COUNTY DEAD
(Special to the Journal-Gazette.)
BLUFFTON, April 22. -- Jacob Harvey died here yesterday morning at the age of seventy-four
years. He was perhaps the oldest living citizen of Wells county. Mr. Harvey was born in
Union county, Indiana, in 1831, and since he was two years of age he resided upon the same
farm in Wells county. His wife, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Mille (i.e., Miller) had
the distinction of being the first white child born in Wells county. She died several
years ago. Mr. Harvey was a member of company B Fifty-third Indiana volunteers during the
civil war.
