OBITUARY, SUSANNA (SMITH) HOOVER, wife of Pre. Martin Hoover of the so called River Brethren church,
departed this life at the residence of her son-in-law, Pre. Michael Shirk,
in Harrison township, Elkhart county, Indiana, on the 16th of April, 1891.
She was born in Vaughn township, York County, Ontario, Canada on the 3rd of October 1819.
She moved with her parents John Smith and family to Medina county, Ohio in 1837,
being then 18 years of age. She was married to Martin Hoover, her surviving husband,
on the 7th of January, 1840. In June 1843, they moved from Ohio to Indiana on to the then new,
now the old homestead, near Harrison Centre, where they lived until April 1884, since which time
they have lived with Michael and Frances (nee: Hoover) Shirk where she died as stated above,
at the advanced age of 71 years, 6 months and 13 days.
She was the mother of ten children, of which four have preceded her to the eternal world.
Her surviving children are Levi and John Hoover of Peabody, Kansas, Martin Hoover, Jr., of
Chicago, Illinois, Christian Hoover, Salome Kreider and Frances Shirk of Goshen, Indiana.
She was buried at the Yellow Creek Mennonite meeting-house, of Sunday, April 19th, where
services were conducted by Pre. --- Shirk of Carroll County, Illinois, Amos Bechtel and John F. Funk
from 2 to 4, and 6 to 8. A very large number of friends attended the funeral. Sister Hoover had been
under bodily afflictions for many years. A few days before her death she expressed a desire to depart
and go to her eternal rest, and the dear ones she has left to contend with the trials and sorrows of
this present life yet a little longer, need not mourn as those who have no hope, but if they are
faithful, may look forward to a blessed meeting where there shall be no more parting.
