From History of Sullivan County by Wolfe, 1909, pp. 355-357
THOMAS B. O'HAVER is one of the men of Jefferson township, Sullivancounty, who have made their community the better for having beencitizens of it, and a veteran of the Civil war, an untiring churchworker and always standing for the right - such an influence can bebut for good. Mr. O'Haver was born September 30, 1844, in Greenecounty, Indiana, a son of Pleasant M. and Cynthia A. (Hinkle) O'Haver.His father was a native of Tennessee and died in Pleasantville in1881. The mother was born and died in Greene county, the date of herdeath being February 13, 1868, when she was about forty years of age.Pleasant M. O'Haver came from Tennessee to Sullivan county, Indiana in1820, settling near Carlisle with his father, Joseph O'Haver, and hemarried Bettie (Swagerty) O'Haver. The name O'haver was originallyO'Heifer. Joseph settled near Carlisle and there died. The son,Pleasant M., entered land where Pleasantville now stands, and for himthe town was named. At one time he owned fifteen hundred acres of landin Sullivan and Greene counties. His occupation was raising andherding cattle, besides doing some farming. In his politics he wasalways a firm Democrat until his later years, when he became aProhibitionist; seeing the great and growing evil of intemperancesweeping over the land as he did he allied himself with this party. Heserved as township trustee two terms, and was a justice of the peaceseveral terms. Both he and his good wife were exemplary members of theMethodist Epispocal church, and he was a church trustee and had heldevery office in the church, save that of pastor. Eight children wereborn to Pleasant M. O'Haver by the subject's mother, Cynthia A.(Hinkle) O'Haver, and four by his first wife, who was a widow Martin.Of the first marriage one child died in infancy and the other threelived to manhood and womanhood, but only one still survives - Mrs.Edmonds, of Sullivan. By his second marriage the children born were asfollows: Thomas B.; Martha, born June 25, 1847, resides in Marco,Greene county, Indiana, the wife of Jesse Fleming; John W., bornFebruary 11, 1849, residing in Danville, Illinois, a physician whomarried Nina Jones; Louisa J., born February 24, 1851, and who residesin Jefferson township, married James H. Clark; James F., born March 1,1853, and residing in Greene county, Indiana, married Sarah Flater;Charles J., born July 18, 1854, and residing in Florida, married LuluShepherd; Robert S., born April 20, 1856, residing in Sanborn,Indiana, and married Flora Coffee, and Grace, born January 16, 1860,married Shannon Ogg, who is now deceased, but she lives in Florida.
Thomas B. O'Haver, son of Pleasant and Cynthia A. (Hinkle) O'Haver,obtained his education at the country schools and attended school oneyear at Greencastle, Indiana. He remained at home assisting his fatheruntil he was twenty-five years of age. The father built a feed andflour mill in Pleasantville in 1864, and Thomas B. and his brotherJohn worked in this mill until 1870, when they bought the property andoperated it in partnership until 1876, when Thomas B. sold his shareto his brother. From 1864 to 1865 Mr. O'Haver served in Company E,Ninth Volunteer Indiana Infantry Regiment. He escaped without wounds,having participated in the engagements at Nashville and Franklin,Tennessee. After selling his interest in the milling business he wentback to his farm in Greene county, Indiana, and continued living onhis place until 1895, when he moved to his land in Sullivan county, onthe edge of the town of Pleasantville. He now owns ninety acres, butat one time owned two hundred and forty acres. He is a member of theMethodist Episcopal church, as was his wife during her lifetime. Mr.O'Haver has held all the various offices and has been active in everyinterest of the church of his fathers. He belongs to the Odd Fellows'order, lodge No. 408, at Pleasantville, having filled all of thechairs and represented the subordinate lodge at the Grand Lodge whichmet at Indianapolis in 1878, and he also belongs to the Encampment andRebekah lodges. He is numbered among the Civil war veterans whocompose the Grand Army of the Republic, belonging to McClung Post No.476. He is now quartermaster of this post, and has held all otherlocal offices. Politically, Mr. O'Haver is affiliated with theDemocratic Party.
An incident of his boyhood days will be of interest in thisconenction: When but six years of age he was lost in what was known asthe Old Goose Pond in Greene county. It was in the afternoon and hewas not recovered until late that night. The whole settlement were outin search of him, and several times he was near his seekers, but hethinking they were wolves would skulk away from them, until finally hesaw a light at one of the neighbor's and went to it. It proved to beat the home of Mr. Breese, who took him to his parents' home.
Mr. O'Haver was married May 11, 1871, to Sarah J. Huffman, who wasborn January 20, 1852, and died August 30, 1905. Three children wereborn of this union: Roscoe C., born November 4, 1872, married DaisyEllis and resides at Los Angeles, California; Ora Myrtle, born January26, 1876, married George L. Baker and resides in Worthington, Indiana,and Daisy C., born September 16, 1883, married John Jackson, aphysician in Lyons, Greene county, Indiana.
