JOSEPH DYE CONOVER, one of the ablest and most progressive business men of the county, and who has held for a number of years the responsible position of superintendent of the Mercer Rubber Company, is a descendant of one of the old families of the state.


Joseph Dye Conover, father of Joseph D. Conover, was the son of David Duncan Conover, and the grandson of John P. Couvenhover, who emigrated to this country from Germany. He married Rebecca Applegate, daughter of Lewis


Applegate, and they had children: I. Edwin P., married (first) Louisa Pierce, (second) Amelia Johnson. 2. Lizzie, married (first) Augustus Ayers, (second) Erving P. Cooper. 3.

Joseph Dye Conover, fifth son and seventh child of Joseph Dye and Rebecca (Applegate) Conover, was born in Hamilton township, Mercer county, New Jersey, April 4. 1859. His educa- tion was acquired in the public schools of his native township, which he attended until he had attained the age of fourteen years. At the same time he assisted his father in the cultivation of the home farm during his leisure time, and then, in 1870, secured a position with the Mercer Rub- ber Company, with which he has since that time been associated. He commenced at the very bot- tom of the ladder, being commissioned to do the odd jobs about the factory, and so great was his application and his willingness to perform the tasks assigned him, and his aptitude so marked, that he was soon advanced to more responsible positions, and so advanced, step by step, until he attained the position of superintendent, which he has now held to the general satisfaction, since 1890. The factory employs ninety men, and has a weekly payroll of twelve hundred dollars. Mr. Conover is very enterprising, and possessed of great executive ability, and the universal justice of his management have won for him the con- fidence and esteem of those under him. as well as of those more directly interested in the success of the factory. His political affiliations are with the Democratic party, and he served as chairman of the Democratic township committee in 1903. He is a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, and for twelve years has been secretary of the society connected with that institution. He is also a member of the following organiza- tions: Hamilton Square Lodge, No. 97.

He was educated in the public schools of that place, and at a suitable age was apprenticed to learn the mason's trade. This lie learned thoroughly in all its branches and fol- lowed as an occupation for several years, when he entered the employ of the Mercer Rubber Company, where his faithful and conscientious attention to the duties he has been called upon to discharge for more than thirty years has gained for him the respect of the officers of the com- pany, as well as the esteem of the others employed by them. He commenced at the lowest rung of the ladder, and his own ability has placed him in the position of superintendent of the belting de- partment, a position he has now held for some years.

JOSEPH M. STELLE, of Robbinsville, is a representative of a family of French origin, as the patronymic plainly indicates. It is not im- probable that the branch of the family to which Mr. Stelle belongs was founded by the Hugue- not emigrant from whom other branches of the Stelles trace their descent. Mr. Stelle is a son of Isaac Stelle, and a grandson of Peter W. and Mary (Dubbs) Stelle.


Isaac Stelle, son of Peter W. and Mary (Dubbs) Stelle, was born in Hamilton township, and followed the calling of a farmer. He was a Democrat, and a member of the Baptist church.


He married Rachel Emily Harris, and their family consisted of the following children : Peter, married Clara Tantum, one child, Clar- ence, married Carrie Carter, one child, Myrtle Ada.

Joseph M. Stelle, son of Isaac and Rachel Emily (Harris) Stelle, was born in 1864, in Jacobstown, and received a common school edu- cation. He assisted his father in the work of the homestead, and accompanied him when he rendered service to his neighbors during the threshing season. On the occasion of his mar- riage he took the Scobev farm consisting of ninety-five acres, and cultivated it until 1900, when he became by purchase the possessor of the property. He raises large quantities of hay and

grain, and has a dairy which is a source of pro- fit. He belongs to Hamilton Square Grange, No. 47, and in his political principles and prac- tice is an Independent. He is a member of the Baptist church.


Mr. Stelle married Carrie L. Scobey, daugh- ter of Joseph and Mary (Embley) Scobey, who have one other child; Lillie A., wife of R. Ells- worth Haines, and mother of one child, Elsie May. Mr. and Mrs. Stelle are the parents of two children: Edgar E. and Ethel M. Joseph Scobey, the father of Mrs. Stelle, is a son of Kenneth and Sarah ( Pierson) Scobey, and a grandson of Timothy and Jane (Thomas) Sco- bey. Mrs. Stelle's mother, Mary Embley, was a daughter of Joseph and Nancy ( Mount) Emb- ley, , the latter a daughter of Jesse Mount. Jos- eph Emibley was born in 1801, and had two brothers and one sister: Richard, born October 16, 1790; Robert, born January 30, 1795; and Mary, born 1797.


CHARLES COATESWORTH BLAU- VELT, who has been prominently identified with the mercantile interests of Hightstown, Mercer county, New Jersey, for many years, is a mem- ber of a family well known throughout the state.


Joseph S. Blauvelt, father of Charles Coates- worth Blauvelt, was the son of Dr. Charles C. and Ann ( Smock) Blauvelt. He married Mary Amanda Norton, daughter of Daniel D. and Elmira (Thompson) Norton, and had one child, Charles Coatesworth.


Charles Coatesworth Blauvelt, only child of Joseph S. and Mary Amanda (Norton) Blau- velt, was born in Hightstown, Mercer county, New Jersey, August 18, 1858. He was a stu- dent in the public schools of the township until he had attained the age of fourteen years, and then entered the employ of Thomas Mason, with whom he remained for eight years. At the end of this time he rented the store now occupied by J. V. Davison as a grocery store, and started in the dry goods business for himself. His pro- gressive methods, reliability, and the excellent quality of the goods he carried, could not fail to bring him the desired meed of success. He was obliged to remove to more spacious quarters, which he found when he had the building erected in which the postoffice is now located, and there he conducted a very successful dry goods busi- ness for a period of seven years. In fact, so


great was his success that the business soon out- grew the space in which he carried it on, and he bought the property at present occupied by him, and had a structure erected suitable to the demands of his constantly growing business. He has a separate millinery establishment, and em- ploys about twelve salespeople. His trade is not alone in Hightstown, but scattered far and near in the surrounding country. Mr. Blauvelt is a member of the Universalist church, and gives his political support to the Republican party. He is a member of the following fraternal organiza- tions: Free and Accepted Masons, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Royal Arcanum and Modern Woodmen of America.

·GORDON A. CONOVER, late a resident of Rahway, Union county, New Jersey, whose un- timely and tragic death was deeply regretted, was a member of an old family of the state of New Jersey. He was the son of Gideon and Anna M. (Reynolds) Conover, and was born in Sharon, Washington township, Mercer county, New Jersey, April 21, 1863.


He was educated in the public schools of Mer- cer county, in which he proved himself an apt scholar, and then engaged in farming, following this occupation until 1882, when he abandoned it in favor of a position as fireman on one of the ferryboats of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany, plying between Jersey City and New York. While in the faithful discharge of his duties, October 2, 1891, he was accidently killed on the ferryboat "Jersey City."

The Tindall family in this part of New Jersey, were probably descended from Thomas and Isabelle, who came from England about 1678, and purchased a tract of land in what is now (1907) Hamilton township, Mercer county. This land was situated on the north bank of Cross- wicks creek, between the old Abbott and Watson tracts, and the old cemetery known as the Pear- son graveyard is on this Tindall tract, and in all probability the graves of the earlier members of the Tindall family are located in it. In the Not- tingham town book it is recorded that Thomas Tindall owned four hundred and sixty acres of land, and died in 1714. Thomas Tindall, prob- ably a grandson of the first Thomas, built a brick house on what is now the northeast corner of Green and Hanover streets, Trenton, and his in- itials "T.T." are carved in the gable.
