Autor/-in: Thomas Oliver

Thomas Oliver was the fourth generation on a family farm. When he was still young, his father became a minister as farming was never his desire. The atmosphere in the home, as he grew up, promoted reading, intellectual and religious pursuits. He was influenced by his mother's poetry, which she wrote all her life. He enjoyed reading, especially the classics including the Jane Austen works. He also enjoyed singing in choirs and quartets.
