David Devore, the grandparent of our subject, came to the territory of Brown County in 1800, and settled at Red Oak, where he passed his life. He was among the most intelligent and progressive, as well as active farmers of the day., and acquired a handsome estate through his own industry and perseverance; he lived to raise a family of ten children, six sons and four daughters, four of whom are living; his death is recorded in 1860. N. S. Devore, whose name appears at the head of this sketch, is the oldest living son of David and Esther (West) Devore, and was born in this county in 1846. David was born in Brown County in 1806, and is the oldest living son. A portion of his early life was spent on the farm, and until 1850, at which time the national bank system was inaugurated, and he became one of the original stockholders of the First National Bank of Ripley, in which he had always taken an active interest, until his health failed, and in declining years he transferred its duties to his son, N. S., who has since filled that position. Mr. Devore has been an invalid for several years, and most of the time confined to his home, surrounded by the comforts and care of his family. His wife's father, William West, settled in Brown County in 1804, and erected the first house in Decatur, Byrd Township, where he resided until his death. Of the twelve children born to this generation, four are living. N. S. Devore established himself in the grocery business in this city in 1868, which he pursued until he opened his present business in crockery and queensware in 1879, it being the only china bazar in the city.
