Ellis was born in Monroe County, Ohio, in 1841, and in the spring of 1857 came with his parents to Wayne County, Iowa, they locating in Grand River Township. He was united in marriage to Miss Maria Thomas, who was born in Illinois in 1847, a daughter of George Thomas, who is now a resident of Howard Township, this county. Of the ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. Shriver seven survived -- William A., Sara I., Cassah E., Alvia Ray, Julietta, Halloweve, Jasper O., Benjamin F., Thomas J. and Giles W.; the three latter died in childhood. Mr. Shriver was one of the early settlers of Harvard, and has ever taken an active interest in the advancement of the place. He has been engaged in the stock business for many years, buying and shipping most of the time since the town was started. He was mainly instrumental in having a station established at this place, and it was he who circulated the petition which resulted in the establishment of the postoffice in the fall of 1876. This postoffice first received the name of Grainville, which was later changed to Harvard. The original plat of the town was named South Grainville, and was platted by Mr. Shriver and Lemuel Kemple, each of whom owned a half interest in the plat, which was located on the south side of the railroad track. Mr. Shriver has served as secretary of the School Board ever since the organization of Jackson Township School Board. Abraham Shriver, father of our subject, was reared in Ohio, going to that State when a boy with his parents. He was married to Ruth Adamson, and of the eight children born to this union seven were natives of Ohio. Seven are still living -- Ellis, our subject; William; Sarah A., wife of L. H. Elson; Eunice, wife of Frank McConnell; Delilah, wife of J. F. Allen; Lucy, wife of William Rynor, and Adamson. Mr. Shriver settled in Grand River Township, as before stated, in the fall of 1857, and resided on the farm where he first made his home till his death, May 30, 1884, his wife dying on the same farm March 8, 1870. After the death of his first wife he married again, a lady who still survives him.
