Funeral Services will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, September 18, 2000, at Trinity Lutheran Church, Kiel. Rev. David Laabs will officiate with burial in the Knollwood Chapel Mausoleum, Manitowoc.
He was born October 5, 1909, in Louis Corners, son of the late George Leonard and Ida Wilhelmine Pauline Strade. Harvey was a 3rd generation American of German descent, his great grandparents, George Leonard and Elisabeth Urban having immigrated to the United States as pioneers in 1852, settling in the Rhine Township of Sheboygan County.
He attended the Rockville Grade School and the Kiel High School. On February 3, 1934, he married Irene Lydia Huhn at St. John & St. Peter Lutheran Church in Cleveland. The couple has resided in the Kiel area since their marriage and celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary this year.
Harvey was employed by Stoelting Inc. in Kiel as a shop worker making cheese vats from 1939 to 1944, and then again from 1946 until his retirement in 1974. Harvey also farmed 60 acres on the outskirts of Kiel with his wife and family, and was well known in the community for the potatoes he grew and sold from his home for over 25 years. After retirement, he was actively engaged in his hobbies of fishing, collecting and restoring antique tractors, gasoline engines and cash registers. He was a member of the Wisconsin Steam & Antique Engine Club. Harvey was also a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Kiel. He
was affectionately known by his many grandchildren and great grand-children as "Papa" and will be greatly missed by his entire family.
Survivors include his wife, one son, two daughters, three sisters, 11 grandchildren, 28 great grandchildren; and four step great grand-children. He was preceded in death by two brothers, Everett Leonard and Roy Leonard; three grandchildren; and one great grandchild.
