William T. Bivin possessed advantages of education in the common schools and continued at home until after arriving at his majority. In 1864 he responded to the call of his country for volunteers to put down the rebellion and enlisted at Jacksonville, Illinois, in the Thirty-second Illinois Infantry. He served most creditably until after the close of the war and was honorably mustered out at Leavenworth, Kansas, in September; 1865. He went to Missouri in 1869 and engaged in farming there but in the fall of 1871 returned to Macoupin county and bought thirty acres on section 28 of North Otter township. He applied himself diligently and as he acquired the necessary capital purchased more land until he became the owner of one hundred and thirty acres, which he has greatly improved, making his place one of the most desirable of its size in the town- ship. He is a general farmer and stock-raiser and, as he uses good judgment in his business, his farm yields a generous annual income.
In February, 1862, Mr. Bivin was married to Miss Nancy Hays, and there were eight children born to this union, two of whom died in infancy. The others are: Adie Belle, the widow of Pierce Jones, of Morgan county ; William H., of Macoupin county ; Herman Eli, of Barnett, Illinois; Mary Ann, who is the wife

of Allan Price, of Macoupin; Nellie Myrtle, who married Jordan Peacock, of Carlinville; and Shebert, who is deceased. The mother of these children died in 1898 and Mr. Bivin was married, May 7, 1903, to Mrs. Annie (Yowell) Nevins, the widow of Patterson Nevins. She died in 1907 and Mr. Bivin was again married, the lady of his choice being Mrs. Martha (Paul) Park, the widow of Hugh Park and a daughter of Robert and Elizabeth (Hughs) Paul. The parents were both born in Ohio and in their family were ten children, namely : Julia and Mary, both of whom are deceased; Martha, now Mrs. William T. Bivin; Nancy and Eva, both of whom have passed away; Hugh, who lives at Terre Haute, Indiana; John, of Bells Lake, Illinois; Laura, who is the wife of Lee Heuther, of Carlinville; Emma, who is deceased; and William, who lives in Colorado.
Mr. Bivin gives his allegiance to the republican party, which he has sup- ported ever since he reached manhood, and is interested in all matters of pro- gressive citizenship whether local or national. Religiously he is identified with the Methodist church. A man of industry and good discrimination, he has met with merited success in his life work and is known as one of the substantial citizens of the county. Genial and social by nature, he easily wins friends and has the happy faculty of retaining their warm regard.
