DANIEL EVERSOLE, farmer, P.O. Columbus Grove, Putnam County, was born
April 14, 1833, in Sandusky County, Ohio, son of Peter and Rebecca
(Snyder) Eversole, natives of Perry County, Ohio, former a son of Peter
and Nancy (Shelborn) Eversole; latter a daughter of Daniel Snyder.  They
had seven children: Eliza (wife of Elijah Helser, in Jackson Township,
this county), Catherine (widow of John McCarthy, in Perry County, Ohio,
with her family), Frances (wife of Henry Hersey, farmer in Noble County,
Ind.), Nancy (deceased wife of Jacob Helser, also deceased, in Perry
County, Ohio), Rebecca (wife of William Wolf in Fairfield County, Ohio),
Lemuel (farmer in Jackson Township, this county), and Daniel.  The
parents dying when our subject was about three years of age, he was then
taken back to his native county, where his uncle raised him, and for
whom he worked, receiving through him a very meager education.  At
sixteen years of age Me. Eversole was bound out for three years to learn
blacksmithing, having two weeks each harvest in which he could work in
order to earn spending money for the whole year.  At nineteen years of
age he went to Sandusky County, Ohio, where he followed his trade
several years.  In 1858 he moved to a piece of land where there was a
small clearing.  On January 10, 1857, Mr. Eversole was married to
Malvina Tompkins, who was born November 25, 1837, near Lima, Ohio,
daughter of Abel and Elizabeth (Heindel) Tompkins, who arrived at Lima,
from Marion County, Ohio, on election day of President Jackson's second
term.  They had twelve children, eight of whom died in infancy.  Those
living are William H. (married in August, 1879, to Jane Searfoss, by
whom he has two children, Earl and Charles), Francis M. (married in
February, 1880, to Sadie Allen of Putnam County, Ohio, by whom he has
one child, Mary M.) John H. and Walter H.  William H. and Francis M. are
farming along with their father.  Mr Eversole came to his present home
in March 1866, where he has accumulated a large and well-kept farm of
320 acres. Mrs. Eversole's parents are still living, the father born
March 14, 1799, the mother October 15, 1801.  Of their fourteen children
two are living: Mrs. Eversole and Eleanor (wife of Theophilus Raines, by
whom she has a family of five children).  Mr. Eversole is a man of
enterprise and prominence among people of the township in which he
lives, having been chosen to fill the offices of trustee and treasurer,
which latter he now holds.  He was a member of Company D, One Hundred
and Fifty-first Regiment Ohio National Guards, doing duty at Washington,
D>C>, resisting Gen. Early's attack on that city.  He takes much
interest in educational and religious matters.  In politics he is a
Republican.  He and his family are members of the Christian Church.
