HOOVER, 85, widow of the late Christian HOOVER, died at 11 o’clock Tuesday night at her home on the corner of Sixth and Jefferson streets after an illness extending over a period of more than a year. Death was caused by old age and complications. Mrs. Hoover had been in ill health since the demise of her husband four years ago and her condition gradually became worse from time to time. Later she suffered mental lapses and became very weak physically. Just 15 months ago she fell while walking about the house and suffered a broken hip, since which time she has been confined to her bed. During this period she was unable to move and only at rare times knew those about her. Margaret A. BARKDOLL was born in Adams county, Pennsylvania, August 20, 1836. She moved to Indiana in 1864 and was married to Christian HOOVER February 13, 1866. She was Mr. Hoover’s second wife. But one child was born to this union, John HOOVER, of this city, who with a step-daughter, Mrs. Milt REES and a foster daughter, Miss Trude HOOVER, are the only survivors. Mrs. Hoover was especially well known in the community. She was a member of the Presbyterian church and had always been active in church work as well as in other enterprises of general interest in the community.Funeral services will be held from the residence Friday afternoon at two o’clock, Rev. Scott HERSHEY, of Ohio in charge, assisted by Rev. PERRY. Rev. Hershey is an old friend of the Hoover family and a former resident of this city, where he was at one time pastor of the Presbyterian church. Interment in the mausoleum.2 |
