Residence of
Daniel Shawver,
Lake Twp.,
Logan Co., OH |
DANIEL
SHAWVER. Industry, uprightness and honesty
have characterized Mr. Shawver's actions in life,
and he is one of the most substantial and worthy
citizens of Lake Township, Logan County. He was
born in Harrison County, Ohio, on the 30th of April,
1827, and is the son of Daniel, Sr., and
Elizabeth (Shultz) Shawver, natives respectively of
Pennsylvania and Maryland, the latter born on the 15th
of November, 1785. The father grew to manhood in
the Keystone State, and about 1804 came to Ohio, where
he met and married Miss Shultz, who had come to
the Buckeye State with her parents when a young lady.
Their nuptials were celebrated in Jefferson County, and
they first located on a farm in that county, in a little
log cabin that the husband built in the woods, and here
began tilling land purchased from the Government.
On this place Mr. and Mrs. Shawver remained
until 1836, when they removed to Harrison Township,
Logan County, and settled in another log
house. They worked industriously and soon had the
farm in a good state of cultivation. Both lived to
a good old age, the father dying in 1865, when
about eighty-four years of age, and the mother dying at
the age of eighty-three. Mr. Shawver
built the mill known as the John F. Kayler Mill,
on Blue Jacket, in this county. He and his wife
were members of the Lutheran and Presbyterian Churches
respectively, were active workers in religious
causes, and he was one of the leaders in his church.
Of the large family of children born to them, fourteen
in number, all grew to mature years, married and had
families. There were nine sons and five daughters,
as follows: Elizabeth and Margaret
(twins), Catherine, George, Jacob,
John, Solomon, Elias, Joshua.
Jonathan, Susannah, Sophia,
Daniel (our subject) and Michael. Those
living are Solomon, of Clay County, Ill.;
Jonathan, of Champaign County, Ohio; Susannah,
wife of William Moon, of Jefferson
Township, this county; Daniel, our subject, and
Michael, of Clarke County, Ohio.
