Marriage:
Orange Jacobs mentions Samuel Colver in his autobiography titled Memoirs
of Orange Jacbos, published in 1908. Jacobs, who was a cousin of the
Colvers by his marriage to Lucinda Davenport, later became Chief Justice
of the Washington State Supreme Court, as well as Mayor of the City of
Seattle. The following is taken from pages 104-105 of Jacobs' book:
"I stopped at a town in Jackson County, bearing the euphonious name of
Gasberg. I rested there for a couple of weeks. The people of that
settlement were contemplating the erection of a building for a high
school or seminary; and they offered me $150 a month to teach a
six-months' school. Mr. Culver [Samuel], quite a wealthy gentleman,
offered me an additional $50 a month to keep his books posted, a work I
could attend to at night without interferring with the school. I
concluded as I probably would have to wait until spring for my
collections, to accept the offer. The district already had quite a good
school-house. My scholars were mostly young men and women, and I taught
everything from reading, and spelling, up to and including algebra, and
surveying. I never had to do with a finer lot of pupils, and my position
was in every way agreeable to me. I ought possibly state that my wife,
then Miss Lucinda Davenport, the only daughter of Dr. Davenport, attended
that school. This added to my other employments the delightsome one of
courting, and we were married on the first of January, 1858. Although we
have lived together for fifty years, we have never been reconciled yet,
because there never has been any occasion for reconcilation."
