Gilbert G. Everetts, deceased, was born in the State of Pennsylvania, Aug.

the fall of 1851, and then came to De Kalb County, Ind., and settled in 
Franklin township, but soon after moved to section 7, Troy Township, where 
he improved a farm and lived till his death, which occurred Nov. 2, 1874.  
He was a most estimable gentleman, and had many friends in the township.  
He was Justice of the Peace twenty years, and always counseled dissenting 
parties to settle without law, when it was possible to do so.  He was 
Trustee of his township many years, and in all public affairs used the same 
thought and carefulness that characterized the management of his personal 
affairs.  He was a devoted member of the Disciples church and was a liberal 
supporter of the gospel, and also of all charitable institutions, thereby 
laying up his treasures in heaven. He was married in Pennsylvania to Adeline 
Enzor, who died, leaving two children, but one of whom is living---
Franklin.  Nov. 24, 1853, he married Mary C. Haynes, daughter of Asa P. 
Haynes, who brought his family to De Kalb County and settled in Troy 
Township in the early part of 1837.  To Mr. and Mrs. Everetts were born 
ten children, seven of whom are living---Martin C., Abraham L., Andrew A., 
Joseph W., Reuben C., Mary A. and Gilbert C.
