Hoover Obituary - Mrs. Melissa Hoover died at her home in Jackson Township Jan. 1, 1918. The funeral services were held Thursday from the Forest Grove church at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. U.S. Burroughs.
Melissa Hoover, a pioneer resident of Taylor County, Iowa, was born Nov. 28, 1855 in Jackson Township. Passed from this life at her home in Jackson Township January 1, 1918 at 6:25 p.m. where the greater part of her life had been spent.
She was united in marriage August 8, 1875 to R. [ichard] T. Webb. Later was disunited, resuming her maiden name. To this union, two children were born, Chas. [Charles] E. Webb of Green Castle, Ind., Allie Henry of Jackson Township, who together with her mother, Mrs. B. [enjamin] B. [alsar] Hoover and son-in-law R. [obert] L. [etcher] Henry and children, Beryl, Carol, Lola, Hubert, Dorothy, Doyle, Arlene; Two brothers, Oswald of Modesto, Calif., Don of Quincy, Ill. Four sisters, Mrs. Neoma Turner, Lower Lakes [Lake] Cali.; Mrs. Ophie [Ophelia] Fiester, Washington, D.C.; Mrs. Zelda Streeter, Lompoc, California and Ella of Jackson Township, are left to mourn her departure.
She lived an active life having high ideals and a noble manifestation for justice to all humanity, and it may truly be said any error made was not of the heart.
As the sun went down New Years day the closing of her life was emblematic of the sunset—-to rise again in the Spirit Land. Her illness being of a malignant nature, was trying to the soul. She was remarkably patient through all, which was characteristic of her nature through life, meeting all difficulties thrown in her pathway with great fortitude.
She was a charter member of the Royal Neighbors of Jackson Township. Members of the camp who were pallbearers were: Mrs. Anna Conder, Mrs. Bud Foley, Miss Ode Kemery, Mrs. Elvin Pierce, Mrs. Porter Conder and Mrs. Clara Ford.
