General Notes: Husband - Jonathan Sarver

---

His early years were spent on the farm of his father, and his education was acquired in the common schools of the district. Upon the completion of his education he commenced to teach school during the winter months, assisting his father on the farm during the summer, and continued this until he had attained the age of twenty-five years. At this period he married, and built for himself a log house on a part of his father's farm, and farmed for himself. There he lived for twelve years and then removed to Greensburg, where, soon afterward, he lost the entire savings of his life in the oil fields, and found himself at the age of forty years, with a delicate wife, a family of small children, and without fortune. He immediately set to work with unabated energy to make a comfortable living for those dear to him. He rented and tilled fields on the present site of Greensburg in the summer, and during the winter acted as teamster, until, at the age of sixty years, he had bought a property on Mill street, where he lived the remainder of his days. He purchased eight acres of land one mile out of town, and this he cultivated as a garden. He was a man of remarkable physical strength, and although over eighty years of age at the time of his death, retained complete possession of all his faculties, his eyesight being scarcely dimmed, and his body active and strong. During the last summer of his life he tilled six acres of ground himself. He was a man of intelligence and advanced ideas on all topics of the day, and was well read in politics and religion. He had been educated in the doctrines of the Lutheran church, but abandoned them in favor of those of the Presbyterian church. In politics he was a Democrat for a number of years, but was strongly opposed to slavery and cast his vote for Lincoln, and from that time affiliated with the Republican party.
