Harvie Lee Reed was born on August 3, 1917, to Zeb and Pearl (Hembree) Reed in Cane Hill, Arkansas. He departed this life on June 26, 2006, at Stilwell, Oklahoma, at the age of 88 years, 10 months and 23 days.
Harvie grew up and resided in the Morrow, Arkansas, area until he married Vada Wilhite Howard on March 14, 1973. They made their home in Westville, Oklahoma, where they lived happily for 33 years. Harvie was a farmer and rancher by trade, raiding both chickens and cattle. He enjoyed bird hunting, especially with his Irish Setter, Zeke, fishing and attending church services.
He "peddled" fresh produce for many years and cherished the friends he made. Many children and adults alike know him as the "Appleman."
He proudly served his country over three years as a Military Transport Policeman during the Second World War. His tour of duty took him to Alaska, through Central Europe and earned him three service medals.
