MRS. HARVEY DOE
The Oshkosh Times reported that the wedding of Lizzie McCourt and Harvey Doe at St. Peter’s was so crowded that people were standing outside. This photo was taken by A. E. Rinehart in Denver in 1880 at 1637 Larimer Street after their marriage had failed and Baby Doe wanted a divorce.
CLEAN-UP AFTER A FLASH FLOOD IN BLACKHAWK
After Harvey Doe messed up the management of his father’s Fourth of July mine at Central City, the young couple took rooms in the brick building above the white circled windows. The trains to Central City chugged over the trestle almost at their bedside. The building, unused, still stands; also Jacob Sands’ store, which is just off the photo to the left.
HARVEY DOE
Taken in the late 1890s, this photo came from his step-son, Sam Kingsley of San Diego. Harvey married a widow with three children in 1893. At the time he was a cigar maker in Oshkosh. Later he became a hotel detective in Milwaukee. He died in 1921 and lies there with Ida Doe.
