Person:Susan Lytle (1)

By 1900 3 children had been born, 3 alive; 1910 6 children born, 6 alive.

"...Mr. Hoover married a Pennsylvania girl, Susan Lytle, who also dreamed of painting. However the years brought six children to their home...Mrs. Hoover's enthusiastic interest in her husband's career as an artist was of great help to him, and she became a valued critic of his work. After her family was raised Mrs. Hoover devoted much time to growing flowers and finally ventured to paint them, thus realizing a long cherished dream. Under the critical eye of her husband she became adept at putting the flowers she loved so well onto canvas. Mr. Hoover was justly proud of his wife's achievement, and they spent many happy hours together, painting. Their studio the center of interest to family, friends and visitors, was the scene of many happy gatherings. Mrs. Hoover died a few years ago, but her influence goes on in cherished memories."
