DR. G. W. COVERT, a leading dentist and physician of Franklin, and one of the representative citizens, and a descendant of one of the pioneer families of Johnson County, Ind., was born five miles northwest from Franklin, on August 18, 1833. He is the son of Daniel and Rachel (Voorhies) Covert. (See sketch of Joseph V. Covert for sketch of parents.) He was reared on the farm, and secured his early education in the district schools, and by pursuing his studies by lamplight, securing books out of the old Johnson County Workingmen's Institute Library. He began life for himself when a little over twenty years of age, by renting his father's farm, and remained on the farm in Johnson County until 1860, when he and his father removed to Kansas, and continued farming. In 1863 he began reading medicine in Kansas, and during the winters of 1864-65, attended medical lectures at the Rush Medical College at Chicago. Returning to Kansas he began practicing in April, 1865. A year was spent in practicing in Kansas, then removed to Montgomery County, Ill. In the fall of 1867 he returned to Kansas, owing to the feeble health of his parents, thus sacrificing a large and lucrative practice, which he had built up. While in Illinois, he took up the study of dentistry, and purchasing books and instruments began practicing the same. In 1873, he returned to Indiana, and located at Whiteland, Johnson County, where he practiced both dentistry and medicine, until June, 1887, when he removed to Franklin and opened an office. He enjoys the reputation of being not only a skilled dentist, but an able physician, though his attention is turned chiefly to dentistry and the treatment of chronic diseases, in which profession he is meeting with success, and establishing a good business. He was united in marriage on February 2, 1854, to Mary E. Lagrange, who was born in the Hopewell neighborhood, three miles west from Franklin, Ind., in April, 1836, and is the daughter of Aaron Lagrange. To this union six children have been born, as follows: E. Lynn, November 11, 1854; Carrie C., February, 1857, now Mrs. R. M. Lynn, editor of the Greenfield Republican, of Hancock Co., Ind; M. Electa, May 20, 1860, now wife of John D. Whitesides, jr., of Needham township, Franklin County; A. Josephine, February 2, 1863, deceased February 15, 1864; Mollie, July 8, 1866, now the wife of Josiah Sharp, of Greenwood, Ind; and
Aura T., August 8, 1870. Dr. Covert, wife, and all of his children, are members of the Presbyterian Church.

REV. EDWARD P. COWAN, D.D.,
the corresponding secretary of the
Board of Missions for, the Freed-men of the United States of America, was born at Potosi, Mo., March 31, 1840, son of the Rev. John F. and Mary (English) Cowan. Dr. Cowan's family is of Scotch-Irish ancestry, and 'all its members have been Presbyterians. The great-grandfather was Hugh Cowan, of Chester County, Pennsylvania, who lived to be eighty years of age. His son, Adam Cowan, who died at the age of forty years, was a soldier in the Revolution.
The Rev. John F. Cowan, who was born in Chester County in 1801, graduated from Jefferson College, Washington County, and subsequently, in 1828, from Princeton (N. J.) Theological Seminary. In 1829 he was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry, and went as home missionary to Missouri, where he spent the rest of his life engaged in his sacred calling, a period of thirty-three years. In connection with his last pastorate, which was at Carondelet, St. Louis, he was commissioned by President Lincoln as Post Chaplain to the House of Refuge Hospital; and he was Army Chaplain at the time of his death in 1862. He was own cousin of Senator Edgar Cowan. His wife, Mary, was a daughter of James R. and Alice (Conover) English, and a descendant of the family that settled in Englishtown, N. J. Mr. English was a stanch Presbyterian and an Elder in the old Tenant Church. When a boy he was captured by the British, and was threatened with hanging if he would not tell where the Americans were keeping their powder. Though but sixteen years old at the time, he allowed his captors to string him up without flinching. He was afterward set free, and the British were no wiser for having met him. Of his family of nine children Mary was next to the youngest. Having survived her husband twenty-five years, she died in 1887 at Pittsburg, being then eighty-one years old. She had five children, namely: James, who is in business in St. Louis; John F. Cowan, D.D., who is the Professor of Modern Languages in Westminster College, Missouri ; Alice, the eldest, who died in St. Louis in 1849; William, who died at the age of fourteen; and Edward P., the subject of this sketch.
Edward P. Cowan, the youngest of his parents' children, attended Westminster College in Missouri, and graduated there with honors in 1860, taking the degree of Bachelor of Arts. After teaching school for a year he entered Princeton Theological Seminary, from which he graduated in 1864. He was shortly afterward ordained by the Presbytery of St. Louis, and began his first pastorate at Washington, Pa., in one of the churches which his father had formerly served. He remained at Washington for three years, and subsequently preached for a year at St. Joseph, Mo., and for a year and a half in St. Louis. He was then called to the pastorate of Market Square Presbyterian Church at Germantown, Pa., and remained there for more than twelve years. In 1882 he was invited to preach in the Third Church in Pittsburg, with the prospect of a call to a probable vacancy in its pulpit ; and on September 13, 1882, the night on which the previous pastoral relations were dissolved, he was unanimously called to that church. He remained pastor of the 'Third Church for ten years. .He is a trustee of the West-ern University of Pennsylvania, of Pennsylvania College for Women, a .trustee and the secretary of the directors of the Western Theological Seminary, and a trustee of the Pittsburg Presbytery, an incorporated body. He is also a member of the Board of Colportage and of the Executive Committee. While Dr. Cowan was pastor of the Third Church, an average of ten members were added to the' church at each communion, giving a total of over four hundred, and the annual amount of contributions increased from twenty-three thousand, six hundred and twenty-five dollars in 1882-83 to fifty-four thousand, three hundred and eighty-three dollars in 1891-92. During this time Dr. Cowan had become a member of the Freed-men's Board, and had been for four years its .president.
On the death of Dr. Allen, the former corresponding secretary, Dr. Cowan was elected to that position. Thereupon he re-signed his pastorate, in order to devote him-self to his new duties. At the next annual meeting of the Third Church congregation the following resolutions were adopted :
"Whereas the Rev. E. P. Cowan, D.D., our beloved pastor, has tendered his resignation, and has asked the congregation to join with him in consenting that the Presbytery shall dissolve the pastoral relations now existing, and, having heard and considered his reasons for this request, and believing that our Lord is leading the way, therefore resolved, That, expressing our affection for and confidence in our pastor, and in gratitude for his faithful labors in the congregation and his tender pastoral care for us individually, we consent to his request that the pastoral relations may be dissolved by the Presbytery, to take effect January 1, 1893." Commendatory resolutions were also passed by the Presbytery. Since ceasing his official relations with the Third Church, Dr. Cowan has given his whole time to his work for the Freedmen.
