Hoover - William A, son of Pre Martin A and Margaret (Musser) Hoover, was born in Clinton Twp, Elkhart Co, Ind, Oct 18, 1865; died at his home near Goshen, Ind, after a week,s illness of pneumonia, Nov 13, 1945; aged 80 y, 26 d.
At an early age he met with an accident which caused him to be a cripple for life. For this reason he prepared himself to be a teacher in public schools, in which capacity he served for nineteen years. During this time he pointed and guided many a little mind to the better and nobler things of life.
On Aug 27, 1889, he was united in marriage to Emma Shaum. To this union six children were born. Surviving are 5 sons (Warren, of Goshen; Lewis, at home; Maynard, New Paris, Ind.; Paul, on the home farm; and George, Wakarusa, Ind), one daughter (Martha - Mrs Benjamin Good, Orrville, Ohio), 27 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, 7 stepgrandchildren, and one stepbrother (Peter Hartman).
In early manhood he espoused the Christian faith and chose the Mennonite Church as his home. In this faith he lived and died, desiring that his following generations should accept the same. He was the first to be called away from the family circle, but we submissively say "Thy will be done." Funeral services were held at the Yellow Creek (Frame) Church, in charge of William Ramer, David Wenger, and Thomas Ressor.
