Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   Wm. F. DeBois, cabinet-maker, Covington, was born in Warren county, Ohio,
December 3, 1811. He was raised on a farm until most of his boyhood was passed,
when he began serving a three years' apprenticeship in learning the trade of a
cabinet-maker. This he completed, and at the age of twenty-one years he began
business on his own account in Carlisle, Ohio. He continued there until 1838,
when he removed to Covington and began work at his trade, in which he is still
engaged. He has carried on business in Covington for many years, and has made
and lost much money. He is now in the employ of T. W. McClure. August 21, 1832,
he married Miss Sarah Allen, who was born February 6, 1809. They have reared a
family of eleven children, seven of whom are living, five girls and two boys.
They had two sons in the service of their country during the war of the
rebellion, namely Allen and John, the latter losing his life in the service.
