The son of Jacob & Catherine Anna Marie (Minnich) Hoover, in 1850 he was living with his family in Mifflin Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. He married Mary "Polly" Deibler ca. 1859 and fathered Ellen Emma Whitman (b. 08/15/62 - married John Henry Adam Umholtz), William Henry (b. 10/17/64), Charles E. (b. 08/13/67), and Mary C. (b. 01/28/70, d. 04/09/78). A farmer by trade, he is not found in the 1860 census but presumably was still living in Dauphin County.
A Civil War veteran, he was drafted at the stated age of twenty-seven in Dauphin County October 30, 1862, mustered into federal service at Harrisburg November 2 as a private with Co. I, 177th Pennsylvania Infantry (aka "Drafted Militia"), and honorably discharged with his company August 7, 1863. His obituary in the Lykens Register erroneously implies that he served throughout the duration of the war.
In 1890, he was living in Mifflin Township where he died from a stroke on his way to church. He was a member of the G.A.R., possibly Lykens' Heilner Post No. 232, but that is unverified.
