The "Original" Stover PipeLine...
 

  The original Stover Pipeline was a family newsletter by Rod Stover with eleven issues between 1975 and 1978 sharing family information, and encouraging communication of  memories, stories or rumors from surviving family members.
   Copies were sent to Dorothy Stover Rodehorst, Glenn "Pat" Stover, Allen J. Stover, Robert LeRoy "Roy" Stover, Ernest Clayton, Ida Lou "Toppy" Rodehorst Pfieffer, Elizabeth "Bette" Ewer Hinz, and others.

   To avoid confusion with the name of the main page, (or to generate more), I'd like to refer to the issues as simply the "PipeLine" with a # and a date.

   Early PipeLines were more focused on Stover background information.

   PipeLines aren't collated by subject, but rather just questions, curiosities, and mysteries of  the time, and some responses to those questions.  Some doting on trivial dates and spellings of nick- names, etc.  Some of the material will undoubtedly be redundant with other material on these pages.  Others will refer to documents not yet posted.  Will attempt to index them by subject and by ancestor, and to provide links within other pages when appropriate.

   Unfortunately, Rod abandoned the genealogy hobby in early 1978 to supplement income by becoming a landlord, which, for at least two years, soaked up all the spare time, and some of the not so spare time.
