Biography of Robert Truelove, pages 697 / 698.  History of De Kalb County, 
Indiana.  Inter-State Publishing Company, Chicago, 1885.

Robert Truelove, deceased, was born in Lincolnshire, England, in 1818, a son 
of Thomas Truelove.  When a young man he came to the United States, and lived 
for a time in Marion County, Ohio.  In 1842 he moved to Indiana and bought 
(on time) 145 acres of heavily timbered land in Keyser Township, De Kalb 
County.  During the summer he worked for the farmers and in the winter 
seasons applied himself to clearing his land.  He was married Jun 1, 1852, 
to Mary, daughter of William Beverridge, who came with her parents to the 
United States from England when four years of age, and settled in Richland 
County, Ohio, where she grew to womanhood.  The September following their 
marriage they settled on the farm in Keyser Township, where just as he was 
prepared to enjoy the fruits of his early life of toil Mr. Truelove died, 
March 4, 1864.  He was a gentleman of true merit, respected by all who knew 
him.  Their only child, William R., was born on the homestead, March 19, 
1853.  He was married Feb. 10, 1881, to Katie, daughter of Thomas Malone.  
William R., like his father, is a strong adherent to the principles of the 
Republican party.  His wife is a member of the Evangelical church.
