laugh as well; and
Whereas, he was born in Charleston and was a son of the late Stewart
Ingram and Leila Burgess Harvin; he belonged to First Presbyterian
Church in Sumter; he founded, along with Scott Rumph, the Market
Express convenience store chain; and
Whereas, Mr. Harvin grew up in Manning; he graduated from
