JUSTINUS T. NAVE.

Justinus T. Nave is a son of John G. and Margaret E. (Gram) Nave, and was born upon his father’s farm, September 3,

1865. He now carries on agricultural pursuits in Green township and his work is bringing to him a creditable financial return. He is the third in a family of five children and he assisted in the work of the old home place until twenty-one years of age. During that time he also acquired a good English education in the common schools and gained practical experience in the work of field and meadow, so that he was well equipped for conducting agricultural pursuits on his own account when he started out in life for himself.

At Covington, Kentucky, on the ıst of October, 1889, was celebrated the marriage of Justinus T. Nave and Miss Jennie B. Jones, who was born and reared in Green township, and; is a daughter of Henry H. and Jane (Hawkins) Jones. Her father is still living, but her mother died when the daughter was only nine years of age. Mrs. Nave acquired a good common school education and is an estimable lady, who has won many friends in the community in which she is living. The young couple began their domestic life upon rented land and Mr. Nave continued to operate leased land until 1891. The following year he made his first purchase, becoming the owner of thirty acres, where he now lives. There was a house and barn upon the place, but the land had not been cleared, except a small garden. Mr. Nave has since prepared the fields for cultivation by clearing them and, as the work of plowing, planting and harvesting has been carried on, his farm has become a richly cultivated tract. In January, 1902, he purchased twenty acres additional, and he now has ‘forty-one acres cleared, from which he is driving a good income, for his fields are productive and well developed. The household is brightened

EL = by the presence of two children—J. Albert, born in Green township, June 2, 1890; and Gladys Elnora, born on the home farm, October 30, 1892.

Mr. Nave was reared in the faith of the ‘Republican party. In 1888, however, he supported the Prohibition party and has since been independent in politics. He is a charter member of the Junior Order of American Mechanics and for one term was warden.
