Having served his country several years in the war of the Revolution, with valor and honor, he retired, in 1781, and built the house which was for many years the residence of his son, Judge Jolin Harvey. It is very pleasantly situated on the northerly side and com- mands a fine view of Harvey Lake, so called ; and is now kept as a hotel, known as the Harvey House. At the time of its erection, it was so much superior to most dwellings then built thereabouts, that some of the colonel's towns- men were inclined to hint at his extravagance, as they re- garded it. It is said he was a man who believed in good. cheer ; and that war-worn veterans, his former companions in arms, were often welcomed to the generous hospitalities of his new mansion.
