(Witness) Bio

Rinaldo P. True was born in Fulton county, Indiana. February 18, 1859, the son of Pulaski and Elizabeth (McClary) True, the latter of whom was a native of Virginia and came to Fulton county in 1854 with her parents, Ephraim and Catherine McClary, who were pioneers of this county and died here. Elizabeth McClary True was born February 14, 1834, and is still living. Pulaski True came to Fulton county with his parents, Samuel and Arathusa (Stone) True, pioneer settlers of the county who are buried in Mt. Zion cemetery. He died in October, 1859, at the age of twenty-five years when Rinaldo P. True was seven months old. The mother of our subject married a second time, taking for her husband David Hoover, and to this union, five children were horn, four of whom died in childhood, only one, Sidney Hoover, of Bristol, Tennessee, now living. Rinaldo P. True was educated in the public and high schools of his home community and then attended the normal school for a time. At the age of seventeen years, he took up school teaching as a profession, which he followed until he was thirty-five years of age. At that time he decided to engage in the more lucrative business of conducting a restaurant, and in conjunction with this, he has managed a highly successful baking business known as the Rochester Bakery, of which he is the sole proprietor, and his business has been an exceedingly successful venture. In 1887, he married Estelle Mitchell, born in 1861, the daughter of Charles and Isabel (Collins) Mitchell. Charles Mitchell was born in Carroll county, Indiana, in 1834, and came to Fulton county with his parents when he was still a small boy, and his wife was a native of New York. To Mr. and Mrs. True have been born three children: Max M., Lucy, and Grace. Lucy True was educated in the graded and high schools of Rochester and in DePauw University, from which she graduated, having majored in music and English. She then studied art in Indianapolis and is now a teacher of art and music in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, having previously taught those subjects in .Albion, Montpelier, and Hartford, City, Indiana. Grace True was educated in the graded and high schools of Rochester. She took an extra year in high school studying typewriting and shorthand. She was then employed in the office of the Rochester Sentinel until her marriage to John A. Barrett, which occurred in 1922. In fraternal circles, Mr. True is a valued member of the Masons, the Knights of Pythias, and the Modern Woodmen of America. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church.

R. P. “NOBBY” TRUE SELLS CAFE TO JOHN HOOVER
“Nobby’s Restaurant,” 31 years the property of R. P. “Nobby” True and the oldest established restaurant in the city, has been sold to John Hoover of east Rochester, who will continue its operation with the present employees and who will add Sunday service. Because of his age, Mr. True decided to sell the popular restaurant, known widely in northern Indiana, in order to devote his entire time to the conduct of his baking business on East Ninth street, the Rochester Baking company. Mr. Hoover, the new proprietor, is an experienced restaurant man, having been in Mr. True’s employ for several years. He went to a farm seven years ago. He will close at 8 p.m. except in summer. The deal was closed at noon Thursday, and the change in management was made effective immediately. In 1894, Mr. True purchased the restaurant from Mrs. Bertha Coplen and developed the business to its present peak.

A. C. MITCHELL SELLS HIS INTEREST IN NOBBY’S CAFE
A. C. Mitchell Monday afternoon sold his half-interest in the Nobby’s Restaurant at 804 Main street to his son-in-law and partner John Hoover. The two men have owned the cafe for the past three years. Mr. Hoover will continue to operate the establishment. Mr. Mitchell who is 93 years of age decided to retire from the business because of his wife’s illness which has confined her to her bed for the past nine months and because of his advanced age. Nobby’s Restaurant is the oldest eating house in the city. It has been in operation for the past 40 years.

Wednesday, September 24, 1919
Despondent because his son, Don [HOOVER], with the A. E. F. in Germany, had not been returned home, Frank HOOVER, 67, a well known farmer living near Mt. Zion, committed suicide at 9 o’clock this morning by hanging himself by a rope suspended from rafters in the hayloft of his barn. His body was discovered a short time later by members of his family. Mr. Hoover, whose actions had been watched carefully by his family owing to the fact that he had threatened to take his life, arose from the breakfast table this morning, apparently in good health and stated that he was going to the blacksmith shop of Frank Van DUYNE at Mr. Zion. He then went to the barn, put a rope around the rafters and his neck and then jumped from a pile of straw bales. When he was found he had been dead but a short time. The family stated that he had been dissatisfied and worried all summer over the absence of his son, Don. Ernest, another son, had already returned from service in the army. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Catherine HOOVER, five sons, John [HOOVER], William [HOOVER], Earl [HOOVER], Don [HOOVER] and Ernest [HOOVER] and one daughter, Mrs. Hugh McMAHAN. A sister, Mrs. D.
