General Notes: Husband - A. J. Stover


His early education was such as the common schools of his day afforded. As his parents had but limited means most of the children left home early to make a living, and he was the only one of the boys who remained until of age. He was eighteen years old when his father died, and the will confided to his care the mother and younger children. This commission he fulfilled, all his work at the homestead being done for the mother and family. At twenty-one he was married, his savings at this time amounted to nearly $150, and he made a beginning as a farmer by renting forty acres of land in Penn township, Centre County, where he spent six years. Having prospered, he rented a larger farm in Haines township, Centre County, and lived there three years. In the spring of 1878 he purchased his first farm, a tract of eighty-seven acres in Haines township, Centre County, and although he went $3,600 in debt, he enjoyed at last the satisfaction of having a home that he could call his own. He remained there until the spring of 1895, when he removed to a home in Coburn. He owned over 240 acres of land, and was regarded as one of the substantial citizens of the locality.
Mr. Stover always took a prominent part in the local work of the Democratic party, and held the office of supervisor for three terms. He was a member of the Reformed Church, in which he was a deacon.
