Like many other of the prominent and influential citizens of the place, he was born across the sea. his birth having occurred December 25, 1842, in County Mayo, Ireland. He came to Ashtabula county in 1856, with his father, who died three months later. Spending the days of his youth and early manhood with Orange Webster, Thomas McGovern attended the district school of Geneva township, afterwards taking the course of study in the Geneva Normal School. On June 20, 1861, he enlisted in the Fourteenth Ohio Battery, and, although he fought throughout the war, taking part in many engagements of importance, was but once wounded, and then but slightly. Soon after his return from the scene of conflict, Mr. McGovern began his career as an independent farmer, and now owns 200 acres of choice land, which he is managing with characteristic thrift and success. He has devoted much of his time to stock growing, formerly handling carriage horses, at the present time having 200 head of sheep. He allows himself some recreation, and for the past few years has spent the winters in Florida, always being accompanied by his wife. Mr. McGovern was one of the promoters of the Pennsylvania & Ohio Railroad, and was the second president of that railroad. It was completed in 1901, and Mr. McGovern and his associates sold out the road in 1906. Mr. McGovern married, November 14, 1867, Mary Warden, a daughter of Jonathan and Almanda (Andrews) Warden, and a great-granddaughter of James Wright, a Revolutionary soldier. An uncompromising Republican in politics, Mr. McGovern is active and influential in both local and state affairs. He served thirteen consecutive years as county commissioner, and as township trustee seven years. He has been a director, and also the president, of the County Agricultural Society, and for thirty years has belonged to the local grange. Fraternally he is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and religiously both he and his wife belong to the Methodist Episcopal church, of which he was trustee for ten years.
