NoteB

FAN SCHOOLHOUSE
In 1842 Jerome and Ann Hoover sold lot No. 12 in the town of Troy to Henry Township for a sum of two dollars for District VI School. This was evidently the Fan School. The township trustee at the time was John Gould. The town of Troy is not listed in any plat book of Fulton County, but there were towns laid out in the early days which eventually went out of existence. A post office and store are known to have been at this place. The Fan School was located about four and one-half miles west and two miles south of Akron. In 1876 (according to 1876 atlas) the Fan School was still at this location. Leticia Reed, grandmother of Fern Bowen, was the last teacher at the Fan School and the first teacher at Sugar Grove, the school replaced Fan School. (The preceding was by Velma Bright, published in FCHS Quarterly of Aug. 1969)

Sugar Grove was a brick school built before 1883, as it appears in the 1883 atlas. it is believed that the Fan School was closed about 1876. It was a wooden schoolhouse. Postal records show that a post office named Sid Conger existed 1889-95. Previous names for the tiny village were Troy and later Owen. The post office was located in a store on the southeast corner of 250S and 800E. Mrs. Keith Hollingsworth adds the following: The old Fan School is now one-fourth mile west of Sugar Grove. It was originally on the north side of the road (250S) and was moved across to the south side onto the old Johnson property where it still stands. The Johnson Farm was designated a Century Farm several years ago. The new school was built one-fourth mile east at the crossroads and named Sugar Grove. The old fan schoolhouse now belongs to J. Arthur Howard, the owner of the land upon which it stands.

Obit

Jerome's obituary was published in the Nebraska Advertiser on circa 31 May 1876:
In Memory of Dr. Jerome Hoover.
Dr. Hoover was born in North Carolina [sic], August 6th, 1809, died in Nemaha City, Neb., May 27th, 1876. When he was twenty-seven years old he moved to Montgomery Co., Ohio, and from thence, one year afterwards, to Fulton Co., Indiana, and took an active part in the clearing and improving of what was then the frontier of the far west. In October, 1854, he came to Nemaha Co., bought land, and made such arrangements that the following spring he brought he family, and here they have resided from that time.
Dr. Hoover was elected and served as a member of the Territorial Legislature in 1856-7. He took an active part in the settlement and improvement of Nemaha City in the early days of its history. In connection with his father they built the mill on the Nemaha river known at present as "Bennett's mill."
Dr. Hoover was a practicing physician for the space of thirty-five years, and, it is truly said of him that he was always ready to fly to the relief of the suffering, and in innumerable cases without the expectation or hope of fee or reward.
A more liberal minded man it would be difficult to find; and his charity was indeed like the bounty of God, "who sendeth the rain and the sunshine alike upon the just and upon the unjust."
Dr. Hoover was twice married, and the father of eighteen children. He died surrounded by wife and children, peacefully, with no more consciousness of his death than he had of his birth-the proper reward of a life lived in accordance with nature's laws.
In his death Nemaha County loses one of her oldest settlers, and Nemaha City loses one of her most just and liberal citizens. He was buried in Nemaha City Cemetery, in sight of the valley and home he loved so dearly. Peace to his ashes. Nebraska Advertiser, 1876.¹⁵
