My uncle, John Paul Havey was born on July 5, 1900 to John Havey and Emily A. (Fisher) Havey. He was born on the family farm about three miles southwest of Rockville. His early years were spent doing farm work on this farm and on the farm of his grandparents, Lewis W. Fisher and Rebecca (Marshall) Fisher. John Paul Havey never married and remained on the farm where he was born on and died in his sleep on December 8, 1969 at the age of 69. Where he died was probably no more than twenty feet from where his mother gave birth to him. The two attached photos were most likely taken while he was still in high school at Rockville. Do to the tie, collar, the leaves and the background these two pictures were possibly taken one right after another.
