Mr. Stover was of that sturdy type of honest and upright manhood upon whom his family, neighbors and friends could rely in time of need. He was a kind and loving husband and father; a good neighbor and an upright citizen.  He will be sadly missed by his family, the community and a host of friends.  We bid him goodbye today but with a fervant assurance that we shall see him again some sweet day By and By.
