R. STOVER.—Mr. Stover was born in Center county, Pennsylvania, in 1834, where he
remained until 1839, when he went to Iowa. He came across the plains to
California in 1850, with his father and brother. He mined one month at Bidwell's
bar, then went to Sacramento, but soon went to Marysville, and settled on a
ranch one mile south of town. He remained here two years. Then mined one year in
Nevada county, and six years in Placer. He then engaged in stock-raising in
Butte county. June 20, 1859, he came to Big Meadows, and located his present
ranch, spending his summer months here and winters in Butte county, until 1863,
since which time he has been a permanent resident. Mr. Stover is in the dairy
business, and has a model farm. He keeps from fifty to seventy-five cows, and
makes from 6,000 to 8,000 pounds of an excellent quality of butter each season.
He has all the modern appliances for butter-making. Numerous springs of cold
water are on his farm. He was married in 1862 to Mary Ann Rose, who was born in
Wisconsin in 1846 and came to California in 1852. Their children are four girls
and three boys.
