Harvey Lupher (1852-1894) was born in Canal, Pennsylvania, and died in Montrose, Colorado. His father was a wagonmaker, and Lupher began his career as his father's apprentice. In about 1879 he married Melvina Lupher (b. Pollock) in Venango County, Pennsylvania, and they lived in Canal until at least 1882. They moved to Montrose by the mid-1880s, where Lupher worked as a carriage builder. In 1886, he wrote to Mary Baker Eddy to order a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
