   ISAAC S. STOVER lumberman, P.O. Erwinna, is the second 
son of Henry S. Stover. He was born at Point Pleasant, March 
1, 1820, and became a miller. He was with his father until 
he and his brother Jacob rented the saw-mill, and for a 
short time was also engaged in milling. On the retirement of 
Jacob in 1860 he carried on the business alone for four 
years, when he again formed a partnership with Jacob, which 
continued until 1879, since which date he has been alone. 
His wife, Ellen A. Capner, is a sister of his brother 
Jacob's wife. She was born March 19, 1827. They have had six 
children:  Henry C., now living in Virginia; Charles 
(deceased), and George C., Louis C., Eleanor M. and I. 
Francis, who live with their parents. Mr. Stover has been 
successful in business, devoting himself to it with energy 
and perseverance. His whole life has been passed in Tinicum 
township, where he is much respected. He and his wife and 
family are members of the Presbyterian church, at 
Frenchtown, N. J.
