HARVEY W. KURTZ.
Harvey W. Kurtz, who is one of the prosperous business men of Confluence, is a son of the late Henry Kurtz, of whom a short biography appears in another place in this work.
Harvey W. Kurtz was born at Norristown, Pennsylvania, February 28, 1865. Soon after his birth his parents moved to Roxbury, where, after attaining sufficient age, he attended the public schools for a few years, when the family moved to Car- lisle, where Harvey W. attended school until his eleventh year. Here the indomitable industry and perseverance that have char- acterized him since cropped out, causing him to leave school and seek active employment. He started to drive a cart, in which ocenpation he remained until his thirteenth year, when he went to work in a sawmill and continued in this and the lumber woods until he was twenty-four years old. About this time his father, whose insight into the lumber business caused him to follow

the current where the best trade and most profitable business could be done, moved successively to Cumberland, JJuniata and Huntingdon counties, and reached Somerset county in 1881, settling at Ursina, where he remained over a year, and finally, in' 1883, the whole family moved to Confluence, where Harvey W. remained since. Here it might be said of the elder Mr. Kurtz that in all his business enterprises and removals he al- ways made it a point to have his family together, where they could receive his advice and the advantages of his business ex- perience. Harvey W. Kurtz, in 1889, started in the mercan- tile business, in which he has been very successful since. At the same time his brother, Harry W. Kurtz, who now resides in Weston, West Virginia, lived here and the similarity of the two names, Harvey W. and Harry W., being so near, in order to prevent confusion the former discarded the initial "W" and added the word "Junior," making the title of the firm Harvey Kurtz, Junior, by which cognomen he is known since among both his associates and in business circles. Since starting busi- ness at Confluence he has been very successful, and from a small country store he has added to the business until the es- tablishment is one of the prosperous ones in the county, hand- ling all kinds of general merchandise, country produce, etc. He is a hard working, persevering man, and from 7 a. m. to 9 p. m. every business day in the year, unless unavoidably absent through business or sickness, he can be found in his store, his only recreation being a day taken once in a great while, at which pastime he is always successful. Mr. Kurtz believes in an undivided individual responsibility, and is not much of an admirer of partnerships. He sees the necessity of looking over both business and employes personally.
In the summer of 1881 he married Miss Ella Morrison, and. they have three interesting children, a girl and two boys. He owns a fine store building and residence combined, and also another fine house in the most beautiful residential portion of the town, besides other buildings and lots in the business section of town. His career shows what industry, coupled with good, conservative business acumen, can accomplish.
