He was past 87 years old and was a member of one of the prominent families of Troy Township [Fountain County, Indiana]. He was a brother of Abner, Arthur, and Mann DeHaven of this city and was the fifth of a family of twelve children, born to Jacob DeHaven and Susan Osborn DeHaven, on the old homestead east of Covington.
Jack DeHaven, as he was familiarly known by his many friends, was a man of genial disposition and a fine stalwart Hoosier in ever sense of the word. Although he had made his residence away from Covington for a number of years, he always called this his home and never failed to get back to cast his vote for the democratic party.
He is survived by two sons, Bert and Carl, and one daughter, Mrs. Laura Smith of Gary, with whom he made his last home.
His remains were brought to Covington and taken to the home of his nephew, A. M. DeHaven and the funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon at the Baptist church officiated by the Masonic Lodge of this city, of which he had been a member for a number of years."
