ARVER, George H.  - Greenfield Township
===========================================================================
George H. Arver is the son of Richard and Olive J. Arver, who came to
Indiana in 1860, locating in this township.  Both were natives of New York
State, in which state George H. was born in Broome County, October 17,
1850.  Mrs. Arver died in Michigan, of which state Richard Arver is yet a
resident.  George Arver's early life was passed in the States of New York,
Indiana and Iowa, his education being principally attained in the latter.
Until the age of eighteen, he remained under the parental roof, and spent
six years engaged in salary work.  December 20, 1875, the event of his
marriage to Miss Mary L. Berridge took place in Burr Oak, Mich.  They
settled in this county, and after one year's experience in farming in
Springfield they removed to this township, where Mr. Arver leased a farm
for a period of four years, and at the expiration of that time was
sufficiently able to purchase forty-five acres of land, which they have
occupied since.  It is under good cultivation, and has the necessary farm
buildings.  Mrs. Arver was born in Indiana, and her father, Charles
Berridge, was an Englishman.  A son, Frank, is the only child of Mr. and
Mrs. Arver.
