Hoover, Sarah Keturah Hardenbrook
Modesto Evening News (Modesto, California), Wednesday, October 1 1913
Mrs. S. K. Hoover Died Early Today Mrs. Sarah Keturah Hoover, wife of Oswald Hoover and mother of Francis Oswald Hoover, died this morning about 5 o'clock at a local hospital after an illness of about two weeks. An operation was performed a week ago from which she failed to rally and despite the best of care her condition grew steadily worse until her death this morning.
Mrs. Hoover, with Mr. Hoover, came to Modesto in June 1911, from Lompoc, Santa Barbara County, and in her two years' residence here had made many friends. A woman of unusual abilities, she was always ready to do well the duties that came to her as a member of any organization, and her kindly spirit made her a friend to everyone she met. Mrs. Hoover had been a member of the Presbyterian Church since childhood. She was a member of the Rebekahs, the Eastern Star and The Pythian Sisters, her membership in these orders being still at Lompoc. She was also among the interested workers in the Modesto Woman's Improvement club. In all the organizations to which she belonged she was always to be counted among the workers.

Mrs. Hoover was born at Monmouth, Illinois, August 1, 1852, her maiden name being Sarah Ketura Hardenbrook. She was one of a family of 13 children, six of whom are now living. Her surviving brothers and sisters are: Charles Kelly Hardenbrook, Lompoc, California; Allan Hardenbrook, Missoula, Montana; Richard Hardenbrook and Shannon Hardenbrook, Bedford, Iowa; Lewis Duff Hardenbrook,
Wakefield, Kansas, and Mrs. Juliet Bristol, Marathon, Iowa. Mrs. Hoover was graduated from Monmouth College, Illinois, with the class of 1872. Mrs. Hoover was married to Mr. Hoover at Viola, Illinois, January 31, 1882 and immediately went to make their home at Bedford, Iowa. They resided at Bedford until April 1890 at which time they came to California, settling first in Los Angeles County and a year later at Lompoc, Santa Barbara County. The family resided at Lompoc for 20 years, coming from there to Modesto.

Mrs. Hoover is survived by the husband and three children. The children are Attorney Francis Oswald Hoover of Modesto, Benjamin Buford Hoover of Lompoc, and Hubert Don Hoover of Los Angeles.

The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Presbyterian church. The services will be conducted by Rev. H. K. Pitman, pastor of the church, and interment will be made in the Modesto Citizens' Cemetery.

The body is now at the undertaking parlors of Bowker
