Harvy married the daughter of Thomas J. and Mary D. Smith Carey Miss Margaret J. Carey about Jun 1882 in Jefferson County, AL.
Harvy Robbins, was drowned in the Little Warrior river, near Little Warrior station on the Georgia Pacific road the night of Tuesday, September 18th.
Harvy worked at Little Warrior and lived on the opposite side of the river. The stream has been so low of late that it has been his custom to wade it in going to and from his labors. Tuesday night as was his custom he entered the river and began wading across.
Half way across he went into a hole which was considerable deeper than his height, and he went under. The sudden step off caused him to become frantic and he attempted to save himself both by action and lout calls for help.
No one was near enough to assist. He went under and his body remained beneath the surface of the water, A rescuing party was formed and the stream was searched for some little distance and the task was about to be given up in vain until this morning (Thursday, Sep 20th) Farmer George Levery, saw Robbins' body floating on top of the water and he rescued it.
