Mr. Chivers was born at St. Fagets, Cardiff, Wales, Dec. 23, 1853, a son of James H. and Eliza Thomas Chivers. The family came to the United States and settled at Brigham City in 1862. They moved to Malad in 1866. Following the death of his first wife, Elizabeth Jones Chivers, Mr. Chivers married Mary Ann Richards at Malad in 1877. Seven children were born to this union.

[Calendar check on PAF shows that June 29, 1948 was really a Tuesday, which confirms the information here. Also, July 1, 1948, the date of the funeral, really was a Thursday. Ancestral File lists the year of his death as 1947 and his burial as 1948, so obviously one of them was incorrect. The date check points to 1948 as being the correct year.]
