     Thomas W. Harvey was born in New Hampshire in 1821, and removed to Lake 
County when twelve years of age. He early developed a strong desire for a good 
education, made a beginning under adverse circumstances, and through life has 
been a hard student and able worker in the development of education in Ohio. 
Prof. Harvey is recognized as one of the leading educators of the State. He was 
for fourteen years superintendent of schools in Massillon, and has served many 
years in a similar capacity at Painesville. He was three years State 
commissioner of common schools. As a lecturer and instructor he has a widespread 
reputation, and a number of valuable text-books bear testimony to his ability as 
an author.
