BARTON SYLVESTER STOVER (1889 - 1974) - I remember vague references to "Uncle Sylvester" from my father and his siblings,  but nothing now that I could actually tell about.  He was a brother to Jennie C. (Stover) Applebach, making him the son of John J. and Mary Ida (Wolfe) Stover.  On Find A Grave, he is memorial #82857511.  In the 1910 Lancaster Co (Earl Twp), Pennsylvania census he is listed as age 20, a farm laborer, boarding in the household of Harry Zimmerman. In the 1920 Lancaster County, Pennsylvania census he is listed as age 30 and married to Gertrude with 2 daughters. He is listed as renting and a farmer. In the 1930 Lancaster County (Earl Twp), Pennsylvania census he is listed as age 40 and married to Gertrude with children: Dorothy, Evelyn, Alfred, Lucille, and Leonard. He is still farming. In the 1940 Lancaster County (Earl Twp), Pennsylvania census,  he is listed as age 50 and married to Gertrude with children: Dorothy, Evelyn, Alfred, Lucille, Leonar
