Harvey preferred farming over any other occupation and spent his life on the family farm near Summers. During his younger years he and his brother John Gibson farmed their father's land and also rented adjoining acreage from Henry Funkhouser. The farm remained in the family for decades and was still occupied by James Gibson when he wrote the family history in 1986. Harvey belonged to the generation that witnessed enormous changes in rural Washington County. During his lifetime he saw: Horse-powered farming give way to tractors. The arrival of automobiles. Rural electrification. Improved highways. Modern agricultural machinery. He spent virtually his entire life in the Summers-Cincinnati community, serving primarily as a farmer and family patriarch.
