E. H. Reever, farmer, section 25, Pleasant Township, has been a resident of Carroll County since 1873. He was born August 10, 1842, in Adams County, Pennsylvania, son of Jacob and Maria (Hocktiller) Reever. He was reared a farmer, and lived in Pennsylvania until 1868. During the war he served for a time in Company B, Twenty-first Pennsylvania Cavalry. The famous battle of Gettysburg was fought on a portion of the Reever farm. In 1866 he was united in marriage with Miss Lizzie Storick, also a native of Adams County, and daughter of Adam and Eve Storick. In 1868 Mr. Reever removed to Iowa, first settling in Guthrie County, where he lived five years, then came to Carroll County. He purchased a partly improved farm, which he sold, and then bought the farm where he now resides. He owns 400 acres of as good land as can be found in Carroll County. He has a good story and a half residence, surrounded with shade and ornamental trees, and comfortable farm buildings for stock and grain. Mr. and Mrs. Reever are the parents of four children — William, Henry, Charles and Pearl. Politically Mr. Reever is a Republican, and he is a worthy and consistent member of the Methodist church and superintendent of the Sabbath-school. He considers his word as good as his bond, and is an honest, upright citizen.
