Hiram Colver¹

Son	Solon Colver (d. before 1904)

Daughter	Sarah A. Colver (b. circa 1843)

Biography

Hiram Colver was born in 1821 in Ohio.¹ He married Marie Ward in Ohio.¹

Hiram Colver died in 1858 in Oregon at age ~37.

The following account is an excerpt from "Portrait and Biographical Record of Western Oregon," published by Chapman Publishing Company, Chicago, in 1904:

Hiram Colver was born in Ohio in 1821 and was a legal practitioner, having graduated from the law department of Plymouth College in Indiana. He married Marie Ward, a native daughter of Ohio, and in the spring of 1850 started across the plains with ox teams, and at the end of six months located on a claim of 160 acres near Eugene, Oregon. In the spring of 1852 he removed to a section of land in Jackson County, his brother Samuel [Colver] locating a claim where Phoenix has since been built. The Indians were very troublesome soon after his arrival, and the [Colver] brothers had their share of fighting and for six months were obliged to live at the fort at Talent [Jackson County, Oregon] for safety. Upon returning to their farms, they protected themselves with stockades, and when the red men had been brought under subjection, the work of clearing the land and putting in crops was begun in earnest.

Mr. Colver did not long survive the rigors of pioneership, for his death occurred in 1858; his wife, however, survived him until 1891 at the age of 70 years.
Mrs. [Susan Colver] Foudray is the second in the family of 7 children. The others are Martha, who married Lewis Sisley, Donna M., Hiram, Mary, who married E. J. Farlow of Ashland, and two deceased sons, Solon and Quincy.
