Chicago: Lewis Publishing Co., 1887. pp. 943-944. WILLIAM COVER, engaged in farming and dealing in stock, Rock Creek Township, was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, February 17, 1842, the only son of John and Harriet (McAffee)[sic McAfee] Cover. John Cover was a native of Pennsylvania, and of German descent. He died when our subject was two years old, and his widow subsequently married John Lesh, and in May, 1848, they removed to Wells County, Indiana, where William was reared. He remained with his mother and step-father until reaching his majority, and from the age of eighteen until twenty-one years old he worked for pay for his stepfather. December 24, 1863, he was married to Miss Louisa A. Hafflich [sic Haflich], a native of Richland County, Ohio, a daughter of Samuel and Sarah Hafflich [sic Haflich], who were natives of Pennsylvania, of German ancestry. Of the ten children born to this union, seven are living—Samantha, Jane I., Matilda Ann, William O., Ollie L., Homer I. and Thomas C. Rosenna, Evalina and an infant unnamed are deceased. After his marriage Mr. Cover settled on his father-in-lawÂ's farm. After the death of his father-in-law, in 1870, he purchased two-thirds of the farm, and later bought the rest of the farm. He was reared to the avocation of a farmer, which he has followed principally through life, and in his chosen avocation has met with success. In August, 1879, in connection with his general farm he engaged in shipping stock, which enterprise he has since followed successfully. His farm now contains 221 acres of land, which is under a fine state of cultivation. In 1870 he was elected assessor of Rock Creek Township, and served as such seven years by re-election. In 1882 he was elected township trustee, which office he held two years. He also served two years as constable, having been elected to that office in 1866. He and his wife are members of the Lutheran church.
