In 1852 he was married to Fanny Hare who preceded him to the spirit world about 17 years ago. To this union were given 3 sons and 5 daughters, all of whom survive to mourn the loss of a devoted and affectionate father. Bro. Hoover united with the Mennonite Church about 57 years ago and was remarkably well preserved in body and mind until a few weeks before his death. He peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, leaving a bright assurance to those bereaved. The funeral took place on the 7th., was in charge of L.J. Burkholder and L.W. Hoover and was very largely attended.
