JOHN K. HOVEY, farmer, P.O. Townville, was born in Chittenden County, Vt., March 3, 1821, son of. John F. and Elizabeth (Hill) Hovey, natives of Vermont. Our subject obtained his education in the common schools of his native county, and when, thirteen years of age went with his parents to Lorain County, Ohio. His father was a book-binder, but eventually became a farmer. On March 18, 1843, our subject was married to Miss Mary E. Bunce, born in Chautauqua, N.Y., July 10, 1821. This union resulted in five children, three now living: Rev. E.H. Hovey, of Spartansburg, Penn., who was educated at Reidsburgh, Clarion Co., Penn., and ordained in Wisconsin; Sarah E.; Ella J., wife of Enos A. Scott. Mr. Hovey is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is recognized as one of the substantial farmers of this county, and the appearance of his farm denotes him to be a practical one.
