Hover, one of the oldest of the several venerable pioneers of Shawnee township, prominent and well known throughout the city and county, passed to rest last night at 10 o'clock death resulting from general debility, after an illness of long duration. The deceased was for many years of the foremost citizens and farmers of Allen county. He was born near Warren, Trumbull county, Ohio, April 1, 1828, being the son of Joseph and Carolla (Adgate) Hover, natives of Pennsylvania. Joseph Hover located in Trumbull county in 1802, and came to this county in 1833, settling in Shawnee township on the tract of land where deceased passed away last night, and where his father preceded him to the grave. The ancestry of the Hovers dates back to revolutionary times, the paternal grandfather of our subject being Manuel Hover, a native of New Jersey, of German descent, captain of a company during the Revolutionary war, and a pioneer of Trumbull county, Ohio. The maternal grandfather of our subject was John Adgate, also a pioneer of Trumbull county. James A.

He has resided on the old homestead, one and one-half miles southwest of the city, since 1833, with the exception of two years spent in Lima, where he engaged in the milling business, and two years in California, where he went with the gold hunters of 1849, and engaged in mining.

Breese, Alma A., now Mrs. D. C. Ford, of west Elm street, Lima; and Syrus A. of Shawnee township.
