Sgt. William Harrison Harvey,
holder of four college degrees,
at present temporarily assigned
to the office of Camp Abbot’s
Post Judge Advocate, is a des
cendant of the same family of
President William Henry Harri
son, for whom he was named.
Harvey practiced law in Cincin-
nati before enlisting in the
Army, as did the former presi-
dent, who is buried near the
sergeant’s home in the suburban
district of Cincinnati.
Harvey was admitted to the
bar in Ohio in 1922 after grad-
uating from University of Cin-
cinnati, O., with an AB, LLB,
LLM, and AM.
Following admission to the
bar he completed a post gradu-
ate course at Ohio State Univer-
sity and Newport, Ky., his resi-
dence until joining the Army.
In October 1942 he enlisted,
obtaining a leave of absence
from the U. S. District Engineer
at Cincinnati, by whom he was
employed in the legal depart-
ment.
Harvey is conversant with
many of the law problems in-
volved in federal practice and
the laws of Illinois, Indiana,
