General Notes: Husband - David Hovis




His date of birth March 18. [CAB, 644]

He resided at his birthplace, becoming one of the prosperous and representative citizens of that neighborhood. He came into possession of 187 acres of his father's farm, and improved it greatly both by intelligent cultivation and the erection of substantial buildings, the barn which he put up forty-one years ago still [1919] standing and in good condition. His house was replaced by the present residence eighteen years ago. The oil development was also started in his day, ten producing wells having been sunk during his lifetime. He was a man of energetic nature and interested in all that concerned his fellow men, participating in local activities of all kinds. At one time he was captain of a militia company. All his life he was an ardent Democrat and kept well informed on public questions. For about sixty years he held membership in the M. E. Church and helped in all the departments of its work, serving as steward and trustee. [CAB, 644]
