    J. W. T. SUBER

    J. W. T. SUBER, farmer and thrasher; P.O. Conover; was born in Brown Township, October, 1841, and is a son of George Suber, whose biography will be seen under the memoir of W. D. Suber, in some part of this history. J. W. T. was raised on his present farm, and obtained a common education; he entered upon self duties in 1861, and has since hired his interest in his present farm of 110 acres in Sec. 8, purchasing of the other heirs until he now owns the full farm; he has as fine a location as any in that vicinity. Mr. Suber, when but a boy, was taught by his father the principles of the thrashing machine; he has devoted, almost exclusively, the thrashing season to that occupation, which is one of the necessary features of every well-tilled country; in the fall of 1869, Mr. Suber thrashed 52,000 bushels of grain, and, on the same separator, hulled 600 bushels of clover seed in the winter of 1879-80; he has shown himself capable of following that line of business with credit to himself and benefit to his customers. Oct. 20, 1864, he married Elizabeth Verdier, who was born in Green Township, Shelby Co., Ohio, Sept. 2, 1844; they have had four children, of whom three are now living, viz., Lucinda J., Laura L., Edwin T., and Toy F., deceased.
