General Notes: Husband - Walter DeWitt Hervey

---

He spent his boyhood at Rochester, Pennsylvania, attending the local public schools. After completing the high school course, he studied at Beaver Business College in Beaver, and began work with the Rochester Tumbler Works, Rochester, Pennsylvania, then the largest glass manufacturing enterprise of its kind in the world. After he left that company, he was engaged in the oil business. He was, first, assistant secretary and treasurer of the Hazelwood Oil Company at Pittsburgh, resigning to move to Bradford in 1925, when he joined the Kennedy oil interests. Meanwhile, for a number of years, he had independent oil interests as a partner in the Herbel Company, which was eventually sold to other owners. Also, for a number of years, 1930 to 1936, he was vice-president of the Lewis Run Manufacturing Company, engaged in the production of acetate of lime, charcoal and methanol.
Mr. Hervey was a lifelong Republican in politics and while residing in Rochester served two terms as councilman. He was active fraternally in the Free and Accepted Masons, in which he was affiliated with all higher bodies of both York and Scottish Rites and held office in the Bradford Commandery of the Knights Templar. At Bradford, where he became a familiar figure in the city's life, he was also a member of the Bradford Club and the Pennhills Club. With his family he was a member of the First Baptist Church in that city.
