In his early working years, Harvey taught school and sold dry goods on the road. Later, he went into the carpentry and joiner business. In 1858, he was ordained as a Christian minister in the Wesleyan Methodist Church. For more than 20 years, he preached in the New Hampshire towns of Errol, Lebanon, Plainfield and East Plainfield, and Strafford, Vermont, where he settled in January 1867. There, he served as a notary public, and for some years was engaged in procuring pensions for soldiers. For 43 years, he had the interesting hobby of keeping (for his own personal information) a record of each year's snowfall. During those years, the largest was during the winter of 1886-87: 18 feet, 4 inches (Child, GAZETEER OF ORANGE COUNTY, VT [op.cit.], 413).
