Harvey Cheek. Aurora, IN (1856 catalogue). Initiated as charter member, 1856. Did not graduate. Articles in The Phi Gamma Delta says he attended business college in Cincinnati, and entered business in Minneapolis. However, the census records do not corroborate this account. He is found in the Dearborn Co. IN census - Aurora post office. In 1850 he was 16 and a farmer, living with relatives (Rachel Cheek, 35 and her children). In 1860 he was 26, an attorney, and apparently boarding with Lazarus and Mary A Cheek and their children. In the chapter minutes of June 22, 1863, a committee of his contemporaries was appointed to draft resolutions on his passing.
