A. J. Stover was born in Montgomery
County, Indiana, Dec. 14, 1835; and died at Ridgefield, Wash, Jan. 7, 1929. He
was a son of Joseph and Elizabeth Stover. At the age of thirteen he gave his
heart to God, and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, but separated
from this denomination and later jointed the First-day Adventists. In 1855 he
and Abigail Hoff were united in marriage. About a year later they moved to
Iowa.
In 1860 Moses Hull gave a course of lectures near Brother Stover's home, and after hearing two or three sermons on the Sabbath, he and his wife accepted the Seventh-day Adventist belief. He as baptized by elder J. H. Waggoner at Knoxville, Iowa, and moved to Sandyville, Iowa, where they could have church privileges. In 1869 they moved to Kansas and settled in Labette County.
Not long after this Elder Stover was called to the ministry and ordained, serving in different capacities in the Kansas conference. The failing health of his wife made it necessary to seek a change of climate, and they removed to Colorado. He was instrumental in raising up a number of churches in Colorado. In 1892 he and his wife moved to Oregon, locating at Grants Pass. In the Columbia district he organized eight churches. His wife died at Ridgefield, Wash., March 19, 1920. In 1921 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Sarah LeMaster, formerly of Pueblo, Colo.
After he was unable to continue in active labor, his heart was still in ministerial work, and much of the time during his illness he thought he was giving the message of salvation to audiences or officiating at communion services. The surviving relatives include his wife, one daughter, three sons, one brother, a step-sister, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
