  J. C. STEVER, M.D., Three Springs, Huntingdon county, Pa., was born 
July 2, 1853, in Cassville, Pa., son of John and Sarah (Steel) Stever. 
When the Stevers first came to Huntingdon county they settled near 
Cassville. Here John Stever was born in 1810, and died in 1855; he was 
a farmer. He left two children: Martin Luther, now cultivating the old 
homestead in Cass township; and J.C. Mrs. Stever was married again to 
Mr. G. W. B. Sipe, now deceased; they had five children, of whom but 
one survives. Mrs. Sipe died in Wells valley, Fulton county.
  J.C. Stever attended the public schools of Cassville. He was brought 
up on a farm, and worked in the summer time for his step-father, his 
father having died when he was two years old. In the spring and summer 
of 1875 he studied medicine with Dr. James F. Thompson, of Cassville; 
in the winter of 1876-77 he attended two full courses of lectures at 
Jefferson Medical College, where he graduated March 10, 1877. Since 
1878 he has practiced at Three Springs. He now manages a sanitarium, in 
connection with his practice, and superintends the bottling and 
shipping of the Hygeia Natural Mineral Water of the celebrated Three 
Springs. In 1880 he was married to Miss Mary, daughter of Dr. Baird, of 
Three Springs. Dr. Stever is a Republican.
