He was aged 80 years, 3 months, and 18 days. The funeral was held Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Adams County First Baptist Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Orr Campbell. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery, beside his wife. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in that vicinity, there being over three quarters of a mile of teams in the procession. Father Stover had been a member of the First Baptist Church for forty years and was among the faithful. William Stover was born February 26, 1826 at Stovertown, Muskingum County, Ohio, a town which was founded by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Stover. Mr. Stover was married to Miss Rachel Inman October 26, 1848 at the town of Geysport, Ohio. The following year they removed to Kewanee, Illinois. He was one of the honored boys in blue, having served two years in Company H. 124th Illinois Infantry, receiving an honorable discharge. He was a member of Prather Post at Mt. Etna until that organization disbanded about five years ago. At the close of the war, Mr. and Mrs. Stover removed to Adams County, Iowa, settling near Mt. Etna, upon the old home where they both died. Twelve children born to them, only five now living, and are as follows, S. A. Stover, Kingsburg, California, L. D. Stover, Yale, Oklahoma, Mrs. W. E. Todd, Anniston, Alabama, Miss Sadie, who lives at home and Miss lizzie who has a position in the Corning Schools. He has one sister, Mrs. Lucinda Reed of Santa Anna, California, the only surviving one of eleven children. Mrs. Stoved died October 2, 1880. Since then the son-in-law, W. M. Peterson, has had the farm and charge of affairs. Mr. Stover was an honorable old gentleman, a good neighbor, and his genial face will be greatly missed from his accustomed place. He loved to recall the early days and heartily enjoyed a visit with the old soldier boys, whom he loved as brothers. The family have the sympathy of their many friends in their affliction.
