I am currently using a LW Harp Tone pedal and want to add some reverb. I am thinking about adding a Boss FDR-1 65' reverb pedal. Would you have them set up in order of the Mic-Harp Tone- Boss FDR-Amp? As always, Thanks in advance

Yes i would set them up that way. All LW pedals have a impedance matching function and it's best to have them before a pedal made for guitar.
My 2 cents..

LW pedals are the only pedals really designed for harp specifically and the impedance matching function is important and all other pedals often will not properly match the impedance of the mic harp players tend to use and often times guitar pedals can sound very dead by comparison.
Two pedals that are guitar pedals commonly used by harp players are the Boss DD-3 Digital Delay and the Danelectro Dan Echo, often times need to be modified to properly match the impedance of the mic because of the noise factors alone from impedance not quite matching up properly.
Actually the Lone Wolf Reverb pedal, which like the Fender '65 reverb pedal, is a spring reverb emulator, will far better match the impedance of any mic you use than the pedal you want to use, plus the tone control on the LW reverb pedal has a wider range. (Just a note here on this, as I may be a tad biased a bit, I personally had a hand in the design of the LW Reverb pedal).
