   JAMES PAVER, deceased, was born in Maryland November 18, 1801. When about two
years old, his parents, John and Betsy Paver, removed to Fairfield County, Ohio,
and settled near Lancaster, where they lived one year, thence removed to Union
County, where they died. James was the eldest of a family of nine children, and
was reared on a farm and educated in the common schools. In 1826, he came to
Hardin County, bought land in Dudley Township, where he settled in 1827. He
added to his farm until he owned 320 acres, having cleared about half of it
himself. In 1847, he removed to within two miles of Kenton, on the farm now
owned by Joseph Hoover, and, about 1858, located on the farm belonging to John
Paver, which contained 312 acres, and on which he lived until his death, June
22, 1880, aged seventy-nine years. He was married, and had three
children-Harvey, Mary (wife of Alpheus McConnell) and John. Mr. Paver was one of
the three or four men who built the first schoolhouse in Buck Township. John
Paver, the youngest child, was born on the Hoover farm March 25, 1850, and was
brought up on a farm and educated at the common schools. On January 19, 1873, he
married Mollie Cline, born June 10, 1849, in Fairfield County, Ohio. Five
children have been born to them, viz.: Jimmie, Orie, Dora, Charlie and Anna May.
Mr. Paver owns 104 acres of the old homestead, and is engaged in farming and
stock-raising. He cleared up most of his land, and also aided his father on his
farm.
