H.H. Hervey
REV.
H. H. HERVEY, pastor of the United Presbyterian Church, at Hartstown,
was born in County Down, Ireland, October 10, 1826, and is a son of
James and Mary (Ford) Hervey. His father came to this State in
1846, settling in Tarentum, Allegheny County, where he remained till his
death. He had a family of seven sons and one daughter, four now
living: Robert, deceased; William, deceased; John; Mary, deceased;
James; H. H.; Ford, deceased, and David. John married Agnes Shaw;
James married Miss McMath, and David is a widower. Our subject was
married October 11, 1853, to Jane M., daughter of Charles Porter, of
Huntingdon County, Penn., who was the third child in a family of six
children. The result of this union was nine children, of whom two
survive: Mary, wife of Dr. Walker of Linesville, and Jennie, at
home, who is a cultured young lady with a natural aptitude for art.
The deceased are: Charles P., Frederick W., Annie (twin with
Jennie), Emma and Helen. Mr. Hervey received his early education
in Ireland, and in 1846 entered the Western University at Pittsburgh,
whence he graduated in 1848. He afterward entered the Associate
Reformed Theological Seminary, graduating thence in 1852, and after
having traveled a year in the interest of the church came to Crawford
County, and here settled. Soon after he married. He was
ordained by the Presbytery of the Lakes, of Associate Reformed Church,
and has since remained as pastor of the same charge—at first of three
churches, and now by the union of two of these, over two churches.
Mr. Hervey is a man of ability, and well respected in the community.
