Obit dated 5 Oct 1910
Rev. J. M. Hoober.
J. M. Hoober was born in White Oak, Ohio, April 19, 1852, and spent the early years of his life in that state. When a young man he removed to Indiana where he was married to Christia Snyder December 25, 1870. To this union were born seven children, five of whom are living. Mr. and Mrs. Hoober removed to Illinois shortly after their marriage and in that state Mr. Hoober entered the ministry when twenty-seven years old, joining the Central Illinois Conference. His first appointment was Waldron. From there he went to Evanston to attend the Garrett Biblical Institute. Three years later in 1884 he was assigned to Loda, from which place he went to Gardner, serving two years in each charge.
In 1890 Brother Hoober was transferred to the Iowa Conference and was stationed at Morning Sun for the years 1890 and 1893, inclusive. In 1891 death entered the home of the pastor and the wife and mother was laid to rest. Brother Hoober's marriage to Miss Ella Berryhill followed in 1892. Until the year 1900 he remained in the Iowa Conference, serving the following charges: Agency, Chillicothe, Cedar and Pulaski. Since that time he has not been actively engaged in the ministry, though while a resident of Mt. Pleasant he served the Mt. Pleasant West Circuit as a supply for some time. For the past four years he and Mrs. Hoober have resided in Phoenix, Ariz. Unwilling to give up the Lord's work entirely Brother Hoober rendered faithful service to the people of the desert, organizing a church seventeen miles out of Phoenix. The love held for him by his flock was expressed in resolutions adopted unanimously by the Quarterly Conference held shortly after Brother Hoober's departure for Kansas City on account of illness. It was his strong hope to return to these people and continue his work, which had grown so dear to him and erect a new church for this congregation, but the summons came to join the ranks of the immortal throng, Sept. 6, 1910.
From Kansas City Brother Hoober's body was taken to Morning Sun, Ia., for burial in the family lot. Funeral services were held in the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. Geo. Blagg and Dr. C. D. Trumball, pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian church. But for the fact that the Iowa Conference was in session at Pella [sp?], doubtless many of the men who had been associated with Brother Hoober while he was one of their number would have been present to have shown respect to the memory of a brother beloved. There were offerings of beautiful flowers from his former parishioners who had learned to love him in his ministry to them.
He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Ella Hoober, Phoenix, Ariz.; Mrs. W. C. Willits, Kansas City, Mo.; Clyde O. Hoober, managing editor of the Chieftain, Pueblo, Col.; Mrs. Oscar Wallichs, Grand Island, Neb.; Mrs. William Kershaw, Rifle, Col.; Miss Hazel Hoober, Phoenix.
