B. CAVOLT, Justice of the Peace and merchant. South Lebanon. The gentleman whose name heads this memoir, was born in Clemont Co., Ohio, in the year 1827. He was reared a cooper by trade, and his education was such as could be obtained in the district schools. In his trade he found employment in his native county until 1861, at which time he came to South Lebanon; here he engaged in the mercantile business, in a rented store room, and afterward bought the property in which he is now doing business; his stock at present consists in groceries and meats, though he formerly kept a general country store. In 1872, he was elected Justice of the Peace; he has since held, and recently been elected for a three years’ term. In 1878, he was elected Clerk of the township, and is the present incumbent in office; is a Republican in politics, having always affiliated with that party. Mr. Cavolt’s executive ability is evidenced by the fact that he has to the satisfaction of constituents fearlessly discharged every duty pertaining to his trusts, for which reason his townsmen continue him their official representative in the judicial magistracy of his township. In 1849, he was married to Susan McCollern, of Clermont Co., Ohio, who has born him eight children, four living, viz.: John, Susan E., Rebecca J. and Charles; the deceased are, James, Eddie, Martha E. and Margaret A. Amos Cavolt and wife, Sarah Hixon, were born in Ohio. B. Cavolt, grandfather of our subject, came from Pennsylvania in an early day, when Indians were yet plenty, and settled in Clermont Co., Ohio, where he died.
