OBITUARY
Abraham, son of Jacob and Sallie Hoover, was born in Henry county, Indiana, March 26, 1854, on the farm now owned by Augustus Wiedman, and departed this life April 29, 1918, at his home two miles south of Hagerstown, Ind., at the age of sixty-four years, one month and three day.
On October 2, 1881, he was married to Nancy Holler, with whom he lived a congenial and happy life until affliction prevented her from farther presiding over the affairs of the home.
To them was born one son, Orville, who, with his wife, formerly Miss Fern Anderson, have had charge of the home in recent years.
Abram Hoover was a man of sterling worth, and believed in living in peace with all men, as he left not an enemy in the world. His neighbors all hear witness to his excellent traits of character.
During the days of his last sickness he talked much of the life to come, and to those who attend him he expressed the belief that with him all was well and that he would soon enjoy the association of father and mother, and the family gone on before where there will be no vacant chairs.
When the summons came and the shadow of death cast itself upon him he laid aside the cares of life and stepped into the canoe which carried him across the river of death, and trusting to the oars he passed the great divide into the future world as calmly as if he were only taking journey with a friend on a peaceful summer's day.
He leaves a wife, son and daughter-in-law, a grandson, five brothers, one sister, and many friends.
During his life he often recited and referred to the following poem by Whittier:
"I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His live and care.
And so, beside the silent sea,
I wait the muffled oar.
No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore."
Abraham Hoover died at his home four miles north of this place on Tuesday morning of dropsy. He was the son of Jacob and Sarah Hoover and was born March 26, 1854, and has been a resident of Jefferson township all his life. Funeral services at the brick church near Hagerstown at 11 o'clock Thursday morning.
