Harvey Hiram Clevenger was born in Taylor Township, Fulton County, Pennsylvania, the youngest son of Hiram Clevenger & Alice Phoebe Salkeld. He attended Fulton County public schools and technical school in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. He married Amy Ethel Lodge while on a road trip on 29 Oct 1914 at the Methodist parsonage in Adams County, Pennsylvania at 11:30am. The marriage was performed by Dr. R.S. Oyler. Harvey worked as a highway engineer for the Pennsylvania Dept. of Highways and then later as a consulting engineer for Letterkenny Ordnance Depot of the United States War Department. He was elected as a Republican to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 1947 term. After a failed attempt at re-election in 1949 he was unanimously elected Republican County chairman for Fulton County, Pennsylvania, a position he continued to be re-elected to and held at the time of his death. Harvey was the Pennsylvania State Appraiser and a Pennsylvania Turnpike inspector.

He was a lifelong member of the Methodist church and held in the F&AM at Chambersburg, the Harrisburg Consistory and the Jaffa Temple at Altoona.

Harvey died unexpectedly in the Carlisle Hospital in Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, an hour after witnessing a head on car crash in Newville on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. While summoning an ambulance to the scene he suffered a heart attack, presumably the result of having witnessed the accident and serious injuries to those involved.
