George Hoover
Geo. Hoover, very well remembered in Burlingame because of residence here since as early a date as fall of 1854, died of heart trouble at his home in Chicago early last Friday morning. He was the eldest son of Absalom and Catharine Hoover and was born in Armstrong county, Pa., June 20, 1849, aged at sixty-two years. He received his education in the primitive schools of this place at the age of eighteen became an apprentice printer in the office of Col. M. M. Murdock who founded the Osage Chronicle. Newspaper work has since been his profession. He edited papers in Burlingame, Osage City, Scranton and Lyndon in Osage County, also at Grasshopper Falls, Kan., Trinidad, Col., and his last paper was the Dwight Sun at Dwight, Ill. After going to Chicago about twenty years ago he worked in the mechanical department of the Chicago Live Stock Journal.
Following the death of his first wife, formerly Mollie Crow, at Lyndon, he later married Miss Nettie Ketcham of Marion in 1887. He is survived by his wife and five sons, three eldest, Egbert, Elmer and Harry, and two younger ones, Ralph and Frank.
The remains were brought to this place for interment Monday, accompanied by the wife and youngest son Frank, services having been held at the family home in Chicago on Sunday afternoon. Short services were held at two o'clock at the home of C. A. Stoddard, conducted by Rev. C. E. Holcombe. Three brothers and two sisters survive: Will, Sam and Mrs. Mary Pratt of this city, John of Scranton and Mrs. Kate Spencer of Seattle. Thus has another of the few remaining old timers gone the way of all the earth.
