   JORDAN H. STOVER farmer, P.O. Erwinna, is the youngest 
son of Henry S. Stover, and was born May 1, 1833, in the old 
homestead, which has been his lifelong home. He learned the 
miller's trade in his father's mill, and carried on that 
business until 1886, at the same time cultivating a small 
farm attached to the homestead. He was educated in Freeland 
seminary, at Perkiomen, Montgomery county. In 1869 he bought 
an interest in his father's mill. He remodeled and partially 
rebuilt the old home, making it an elegant and commodious 
residence. June 17, 1858, he married Rachel, daughter of 
Jonathan Pickel, of Hunterdon county, N. J.  She was born 
June 30, 1838. They have three children:  Hannah P., the 
wife of J. C. Lambrite, of Doylestown; Edward C., married to 
Elizabeth Coane, living in Trenton, N. J.; and Lizzie P., 
who lives with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Stover are members 
of the Presbyterian church at Frenchtown, N. J., of which he 
is a trustee. He has always been an active, enterprising 
business man, and enjoys the respect of his neighbors.
