"JOHN C BEVER, M. D., of Vincennes, Ind., was born in Steubenville, Jefferson Co., Ohio, January 26, 1819, and is a son of David and Sarah (Clowes) Bever, who were natives respectively of the Emerald Isle and the State of Delaware. The father came to the United States in 1810, and engaged in the manufacture of woolen goods in Delaware and Ohio, but finally settled on a farm in Coshocton County, Ohio, where he died in 1849. Here our subject grew to manhood and secured a good literary education for that day. Early in life he manifested a desire to learn the medical profession, his mother being a skillful nurse and his maternal grandfather a successful practitioner. John C. began early in life to study medical works, and in 1848 entered the Physio-Medical College at Cincinnati, Ohio, and graduated from that institution in 1850. Later he entered the Cincinnati Medical College, but received no diploma from the latter institution. He first began the regular practice of his profession in Coshocton County, Ohio, in 1850, and four years later he removed to Martin County, Ind., where he practiced twelve years. In 1866 he removed to Vincennes, where he has since resided, engaged exclusively in attending to his medical duties, which occupy his entire time. He controls a large and remunerative practice, and merits the confidence reposed in him by the people. In 1845 he was married to Nancy A. Payne, of Lafayette, Ind., who died in 1878, having borne three sons, two of whom, James R. and Albert Curtis, lived to be men grown and engaged in the Rebellion. All are now deceased. In 1881 the Doctor married Almira C. Wood, a native of the state, who is an accomplished lady and a regular graduate in medicine. She was for many years a teacher, and is also a graduate of a literary college. She entered the Eclectic Medical College at Cincinnati, Ohio, September 1, 1877, and graduated in January, 1881, receiving her diploma. She is the only female medical graduate in Knox County. The Doctor is a member of the Mississippi Valley, Indiana, State, and Knox County Medical Societies, and also holds a certificate licensing him to practice in Illinois. He is a Democrat, and was a member of the City Council one year. He is a Mason of the Scottish Rite degree, and a member of the I. O. O. F."
