Selover, Peter, carpenter, dates his birth November 10, 1830, at the same
place as his brother above (Alexander born near the city of Brunswick, New
Jersey). His early life was passed on his father's farm, and at seventeen
years of age he was apprenticed to a carpenter and builder, whom he served
three years. In 1857 he went to Flatbush, Long Island, and participated in
the construction of many buildings there. In 1859 he was united in wedlock
to Euphemia Vincent, who died in 1866. Of her five children two are
living, Mary L., employed in Appleton's bookbindery at Williamsburg, New
York, and Lewis Henry, at Clifton, Minnesota. Mr. Selover is connected
with the Temple of Honor, the Congregational church, and the republican
party. In October, 1868, he married Jennie Howard Duryea, who is the
mother of six children, christened as follows, all at home: George H.,
Arthur W., Jennie H., Martha E., Kate L. and Laura. In 1878 the family
removed to Lake City, where the head has since been actively employed in
building operations. He has a younger brother, Henry Selover.
