Livar, an orphan boy, without friends or education came from Hardy County, Va., and began to work for Isaac Van Meter of Clark County. By industry and perseverance he obtained a start in life, and with the continued exercise of those good qualities, he has amassed a large fortune. Mr. Livar's first wife was a Tevaugh, and from that union sprung Jacob Livar, who was born February 5th, 1846. Receiving a common English education, he began life as a farmer and stock-trader, which he has followed with varied success ever since. He now owns 150 acres of land within a mile of Clintonville.
