Born near Richland Springs in San Saba County, Texas, on March 27, 1866, he married Sophia Caroline New (1869-1935) in Beeville, Texas, on August 4, 1886. He later visited Carlsbad, then Eddy, and returned to Texas. In 1892, he moved his family to the little settlement of Eddy in New Mexico and operated a meat market on South Canal Street. He was appointed Deputy U.S. Marshal in 1893 and held this position for many years. He was a peace officer until 1911, during which time he was a deputy sheriff of Eddy County, cattle inspector for the Cattle Raisers Association of Texas and the Cattle Sanitary Board of New Mexico. Harkey retired in 1911 from public service and engaged in extensive ranching, livestock and farming in the Black River area, 15 miles south of Carlsbad. In 1934, he again took up residence in his Carlsbad home, which was established in 1903, where he resided until his death on June 17, 1958, aged 92. Harkey recorded his gun-toting, criminal chasing history in the book, Mean as Hell, in 1948.
