Doctor Harsha not only was a practicing physician of wide reputation, but was a civil engineer of much ability, having learned surveying under his father John Harsha, who was one of the best known civil engineers in Pennsylvania in his day. He was a Whig originally, but upon the formation of the Republican party became a Republican and was thereafter affiliated with that party. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church and ever was active in good works. Doctor Harsha was twice married. His first wife, Mary Dawson died in 1860, at the age of thirty two years, leaving three children.
