We owe a big thanks to George Harvey. He established Harvey's Restaurant here in Washington, and it lasted over 125 years. Harvey is credited with inventing the steamed oyster and Sec. and Mrs. Seward introduced the President and Mrs. Lincoln to the bi-valve. George Harvey was a cousin to the George Harvey, undertaker, as in Harvey and Marr, who handled the receiving of JWB in 1867.
