My father is putting some family history together, informally.
We lost the family Selover/Slover (1968) copy in a housefire several years ago.
I hope that you will reply to this, and allow my father to keep in touch with this side of his family!
Thanks in advance -- Renee Selover Schrems

The Selover family in Holland, Michigan previously owned the family history book put together by Mabel Halder.
The book was destroyed in a fire a few years ago.
Is the book available?
Is the author available to receive any communications regarding family history? We cherished the book!
Thank you for any help,
Sincerely,
Renee Selover Schrems, on behalf of my father, Carl L. Selover, Sr.

2 Killed As Train Strikes Auto Truck
Herman Hackbarth and Arthur Selover Are Victims of Accident
Collide At Crossing
Tonawanda Men Are Pinned Under Wreckage, Removed Ten Minutes Later
Two men were instantly killed at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon, when an auto truck was struck by a New York Central switch train at an alley crossing in the Smith, Fassett Lumber company’s yard on Tonawanda Island.
The dead men are Herman Hackbarth, 75 years old, of 148 Niagara street and Arthur Selover, 50 years old, of 287 Niagara street. Both reside in Tonawanda.
Selover and Hackbarth were driving out of the Smith, Fassett yard with a load of alley planking for firewood in a five-ton truck as the switch train bore down on them. According to railroad men, members of the train crew saw the truck and the train came to a stop. At the same time, the truck stopped, Selover and Hackbarth apparently having seen the train.
Pinned Under Wreckage
Both the train crew and truck driver evidently believed the other was to wait and started up again with the result that they came together at the crossing. The truck was overturned .
Selover and Hackbarth were riding in the cab of the machine. They were pinned under the wreckage of the truck and the load of planking. Both were badly mangled. Selover was driving the truck.
Both men were dead when they were removed from the wreckage 10 minutes after the accident. Physicians said they were probably instantly killed.
Hold Funerals Tomorrow
Selover was in the trucking business here. He was engaged by Hackbarth to draw the plank from the lumber yard to his home. The Central switch track, where the accident occurred parallels Michigan street on Tonawanda Island and runs between the Smith-Fassett lumber yard.
Hackbarth is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Frank Duffy and Mrs. Leonard Keppwick, both of Tonawanda. His funeral will be held at 3:30 o’clock tomorrow afternoon from the late residence, Rev. E. A. Schulz officiating. Burial will be in Elmlawn.
Selover is survived by a wife, five sons and three daughters. The sons and daughters are Howard, Chester, Charles, Laverne, Levant, Onnolee, and Hulda Selover, all of Tonawanda. Selover’s funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 1 o’clock from the late residence, Rev. Charles R. Sine officiating. Burial will be in Elmlawn.
Coroner J. E. Helwing, who investigated the accident, issued certificates of accidental death.

My uncle Francis Selover had a family tree researched of the Selover/Slover name several years ago. The last time I saw it it was in the Rutger's Library in New Brunswick. It is quite a large volume.

I have a Bible that has it's first entry as Daniel I. Selover, born 1799 of Isaac and Ann Selover. Apparently I now have another generation to add to the tree that I am making of our branch.

Best of luck to you. Please let me know if I can be of any further help.

Selovers from California

jonathan_centner — 2003-07-04 14:57:07Z

I am looking for the name of my great grandfather who was a Selover. He was reported to have been born in California, probably San Francisco. He was married to my great grandmother Edith Frances Perham in the 1890's or 1900's probably on the East Coast, either in New York City or in Wayne County Pennsylvania. They moved to San Francisco where my Grandmother Vera Irene Selover was born in 1904. The only ca.1800 'sSan Francisco Selovers I have been able to locate are an Abia Selover and possible nephew who sailed from New York to San Francisco on the ship the Loo Choo in1849. I do not know whether my greatgrandfather is from these Selovers. My greatgrandmother was widowed when my grandmother was a child and she returned to Pennsylvania. Abia Selover may have owned an auction house. Does anyone have any info on these people. Contact me at mcentn@optonline.net.
