ANN ELIZABETH HOOVER
---------------
Ann Elizabeth, daughter of John H. and Mary Creeger, was born in Seneca County, Hopewell Township, Ohio, October 23, 1835. Here she passed her childhood, youth and womanhood. She was united in marriage with Abraham Hoover May 23, 1854. To them were born four children, Mary Ann (deceased), Sarah Jane, John Henry, and Abraham Russel. In early life she became a member of the United Brethren Church and throughout her long life she has given evidence that her faith had not failed. Her last message was, "If anything should happen to me, I am ready."
She has resided more than fifty years in the home where the last of life's battles were fought.
She has known what the pioneer days meant to the people of Wood County.
She has known what it cost in privation, sickness, and suffering to change this part of the Black Swamp into beautiful homes and fertile fields. She passed from this life to life eternal, January 28, 1925 at the age of 89 years, 11 months, and 5 days.
In her passing she leaves one brother, L. D. Creeger of Tiffin, Ohio, three children, Mrs Sarah Ann Hunt of Prairie Depot, Ohio, John Henry of Ligonere, Ind. and Abraham Russel, of Risingsun, Ohio, twelve grandchildren, two great-great grandchildren, and many friends.
Funeral services were held at the U. B. Church, Friday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J.P. Hight, Interment was made in Graham Cemetery.

MRS ANNA HOOVER FOUND DEAD IN HOME
Mrs. Anna E. Hoover, 89 years, mother of R. D. Hoover, and lifelong resident of Montgomery Township, was found dead at her home two miles west and one mile north of Risingsun, Wednesday morning. It is thought death was due to heart trouble and indigestion. The opinion is she had entered the house from her chore work; Tuesday evening, and sat down in a chair, when she fell to the floor where she was found, indicating death had come early Tuesday evening. Three children survive, R. D. Hoover, John Hoover, and Mrs. Sarah Hunt.
The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at the U. B. church.
