Gazette, January 3-9, 1998: "Ephraim Overman Harvey seemed to be jinxed with misfortunes and took to the life of a wanderer. Rumor has it he left Lizza Jane Dillon when her daughter Lydia Jane was born. Years later he married Mary Elmore and had two more children," but she was truly miserable living in a log cabin in Kansas. "Some of the children were left with Ephraim's brother for a period of time and their mother excaped the pioneer life." Ephraim later married Anna Stanton.]
