Harold C. HARVEY, 58, president of Harvey Paper Products Co. of this city, died early Sunday morning at Blodgett Memorial Hospital, Grand Rapids, where he had been a patient the last five weeks. His death followed a long illness. He underwent an operation six months ago at University Hospital, Ann Arbor, but never fully recovered. Mrs. HARVEY and her sister, Mrs. M. BLAIM, were present at the time of Mr. HARVEY'S death. He was born Oct. 8, 1891, at Cobb, Wis., a son of Alfred and Lida CANDACE HARVEY. His early years were spent in Wisconsin. Following his graduation from West Division High School in Milwaukee, he continued his education in mechanical engineering at the University of Wisconsin Extension. After spending some time in the West on irrigation work, he returned to Wisconsin and served on several metropolitan newspapers. During World War I, he served in the motor transport and infantry sections of the 85th and 14th Divisions. After the war, mechanical engineering became his vocation. He was attracted to the pulp and paper industry, and became engaged in the design and construction of paper and paper converting machinery for many nationally-known manufacturers. In 1923, with his father, the late Alfred HARVEY, he organized the Harvey Paper Products Co. The company started operations in a two-car garage at Appleton, Wis., with practically all the work of the infant industry being done by the two men themselves. As the business grew, it moved to Waukesha, Wis., and later to Monroe, Wis. Further growth made it desirable to move closer to the source of paper supply, and in 1926, the company moved to Sturgis. The first factory unit here was housed in building smaller than the present offices alone. The growth of the business under Mr. Harvey's leadership made successive additions necessary, two of these additions being built during the depression years. The factory now occupies an entire city block in the northwest part of the city. Much of the special machinery used in the present factory was designed by him personally and built under his supervision. Mr. HARVEY had enjoyed a long friendship with the executives of the Kalamazoo Vegetable Parchment Co., supplier of most of the paper used by the Harvey Company. As a result, he in 1943 effected the consolidation of the Harvey Paper Products Co. with the Kalamazoo Paper Products Co., remaining as president and general manager of the local company. The consolidation proved an advantageous one both for the company and the City of Sturgis. In 1943, Mr. HARVEY founded the Tri-State Litho-Art of this city with F. D. BURDINO and Paul F. PICKER. Mr. HARVEY held the position of secretary. Mr. HARVEY was widely known throughout the paper industry and was recognized as a leader in the paper converting field. His greatest satisfaction, however, was in his association with his employees. Under his direction, his company was a pioneer in introducing many employee benefits, locally, and his office door was always open to any employee. He was married Nov. 17, 1920, at Kenosha, Wis. to Miss Mary M. PICKER, who is the only close surviving relative, aside from an aunt Mrs. Frank SHRINER, of Monroe, Wis. While he took an active interest in many civic activities, his first devotion was to his home and he was jealous of time spent away from it. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and of Neuman-Wenzel post, American Legion, and was a former member of the Sturgis Exchange Club. He was a member of the board of directors of the Paper Cup and Container Institute, and a former member of the board of trustees of Sturgis Memorial Hospital. Funeral services will take place at 4 p.m. Tuesday from the First Presbyterian Church. The Rev. Charles T. DOOLITTLE, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Grand Rapids and formerly pastor here, will conduct the services. Interment will be at Oaklawn Cemetery. Friends will be received at the Foglesong Funeral Home until 10 a.m. Tuesday.   From then until the time of the service, the body will lie in state at the First Presbyterian Church. The plants and offices of the Harvey Paper Products Co. and Tri-State Litho-Art will be closed all day Tuesday in respect to Mr. HARVEY. (July 18 1949) (No family connection to submitter.)
