HARVEY HARRINGTON, proprietor of the hotel at Altona, Hinton Tp., was born in 
Ionia County, Mich., Aug. 2, 

1848.  His parents, William and Margaret (Staley) Harrington, were natives of 
Ohio.  Their first removal 

thence was to Montcalm Co., Mich., and successively to Ionia, Gratiot and 
Calhoun Counties, and in 1869 

went to Kanssa, where they now reside.  Mr. Harrington was 14 years of age 
when his parents went to 

Gratiot County.  Their stay there lasted one year, and then they went to 
Calhoun County, where Mr. 

Harrington lived with them until he was 21 years of age.  On attaining man's 
estate he went to Montcalm 

County, and there worked in a shingle-mill eight years.  In 1873 he bought 40 
acres of partly improved

place as a residence in 

1877, and in 1881 exchanged the property for 80 acres in Sheridan Tp., Mecosta 
Co., where he fixed his 

home in September, 1881.  In February, 1883, he exchanged his farm for the 
hotel at Altona, which he is 

now managing.
