Oliver McGrew Everly was born in 1876 in or near Herring, Preston County, WV, the son of Absalom and Sarah (Carroll) Everly.
Oliver
was single circa 1908,
at the age of 32, but later married Ilda Kelly ( ? - ? ).
They resided in a rural section of Morgantown. The Morgantown Dominion News said he "had operated a dairy here for many years. He was a member of the Wesley Methodist Church and of the Knights of Pythias." The 1923 History of West Virginia, Old and New says that Oliver was "a dairyman at Morgantown."
Later, after retirement, they moved to Collins Ferry Road in Morgantown. Oliver died of a heart attack at age 69 on Feb. 4, 1946. He was buried in the same plot as his father in East Oak Grove Cemetery in Morgantown.
