~0bit~Rev. Byron James Hoover, a minister of the Wesleyan Methodist church, who has been residing at Dayton Valley, Iowa, for a couple of years, suffered a paralytic stroke at Tipton, Iowa, just before noon of last Thursday and died at 4:30 at his home. He had been engaged in gathering statistics on taxation, a WPA project and made daily trips to Tipton. His condition was known to be serious and he was brought home in the McCormick ambulance. Byron James Hoover was born October 7, 1877, at Walker, Iowa, in Buchanan County, and departed this life, April 9, 1936, at his home at Dayton, Valley. Early in life he gave his heart to the Lord, seeking sanctification one week later. He answered God's call to the ministry at the age of thirty-four years, continuing diligently in his service until he was called home. His last pastorate being here in this church. His sudden death due to cerebral hemorrhage was a shock to his family and host of friends. But those who he leaves behind, do not question God's plans. Mr. Hoover drew all people to himself, with whom he came in contact. He leaves to mourn his passing his devoted wife, one son, Clyde Ariel Hoover, eight daughters, Alta Draheim, Lura Dodd, Ruby Emerson, Olive Hoover, Amy Hoover, Ina Hoover, Mina Hoover, Elma Hoover two sisters, grandchildren and a host of friends. One brother, Junius Preston Hoover, departed this life on Sunday of the past week. In a fly-leaf of his bible was found the poem appearing below, which the family requested be read at the funeral which was held at the Dayton Valley church on Monday, conducted by Rev. Robert McDaniel of the Clarence Presbyterian church. Following the services the funeral party went to the Hoover Cemetery in Buchanan County, north of Troy Mills, Buchanan County. Here Reverend James of the Hoover Wesleyan Methodist Church, which is near by, conducted burial services. The church and cemetery here mentioned was named for the family of the deceased. I cannot do it alone--the waves run fast and high, And the fogs close chill around, The light goes out in the sky, but I know that we two shall win in the end, Jesus and I. Coward and wayward and weak, I change with the changing sky, Today so safe and brave, tomorrow to weak to try--But he never gives in, so we two shall win--Jesus and I.
