from Biographical Sketches in "History of Fairfield and Perry Counties" compiled by A. A. Graham (1883), p. 296
DOVE, ELIJAH, of Bloom township, was born where he now resides, in the year 1811, and where his father entered land in an early day. Mr. Dove received but a limited common school education in his early life; he has however been a constant reader and hard student, devoting his time principally during these latter years to religious subjects
and to his church. He was virtually the founder of the M. E. Church in Carroll, over forty years ago, and has been not only an official member since that time, but one of its warmest supporters; and has seen the society grow in numbers, from ten or twelve to that of a hundred and
twenty-five. He was married in 1835, to Miss Mary Small, in every sense a godly woman and a true helpmeet in society, church and family. She died September 1, 1877, leaving behind her a family of fifteen children, thirteen of whom are living, and are members of church. John W. Dove, the oldest son, was a captain of a company in the late war. Joseph, the youngest son, is at home, and is the present superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal Sabbath school at Carroll.
