There, at the store, was Oliver. But, of course,'' she added with a twinkle in her eye?, ''I didn"t notice him them." The Doveys were married in 1883 and lived at first with Mr. Dovey's parents at the same address they live today. They built their present home in 1890 and here raised their two daughters, Clara Jane and Hazel. Both daughters are now living in Ohio. Clara Jane has become Mrs. J. R. Brown.
