Taylor County Herald (Bedford, Iowa), Thursday, October 5, 1939
Ella Hoover - Ella Hoover, daughter of Benjamin B. [alsar] and Mary Ann Hoover, was born February 19, 1862, and died at her home southeast of Bedford Friday, September 22, 1939.
One of a family of 11 children, two brothers and one sister are left to mourn her passing. They are Oswald O. Hoover, Modesto, Calif., Don Hoover of Quincy, Ill. and Zelda T. Streeter of Lompoc, Calif. She also leaves 5 nieces, 5 nephews, 29 great nieces and nephews, together with other relatives and friends.
Almost her entire life was spent in the old home in Jackson Township where she was born and met her death when it was destroyed by fire.
She was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Bedford and a member of the Jackson Grove Grange. She was a graduate of the College of Music of Shenandoah and taught music for a number of years in the county. Many of the early years of her life were devoted to teaching in the rural schools.
Being a great lover of nature, much of her time was spent in the great outdoors, enjoying nothing so much as a beautiful sunset. She met all difficulties thrown in her path with great fortitude.
It seems fitting that the last fleeting moments of her life be spent in the dear old home for she loved it. Everything in it to her was precious memory and a sentiment deeper than understanding.
Funeral services were held Tuesday from the Wetmore Funeral Home in Bedford, conducted by the Rev. Stanley Schlick of the Bedford Presbyterian Church. Interment was in the Forest Grove Cemetery.
