    "Edward Scoville in 1827 accompanied his parents from Richmond, N. Y., to Trumbull County, O., and in February, 1838, came to DeKalb County, In., and settled in Stafford township where he rended land for two years. He then moved to Newville township where he had previously entered land in section four. In 1857 he bought and moved to a farm in section twenty-nine in Stafford township, where he lived for thirty years. He was one of the hardest working men in the county and helped to clear and log over one hundred acres of land. He was progressive in his farm methods and was among the very first to use improved machinery in grain field and dairy. He was constable and also supervisor for several terms."
