Biography

Burial: Liberty Cemetery Everton Dade County Missouri, USA Information from Hoover Descendant Dwight Needens - "John's great-great-granddaughter, the late Elsie (Hoover) Workman Grisham, told me during one of my many visits to her home, in 1972, that she and other descendants had the marker put up for John's grave and they had guessed at the year of birth and death as there were no records to verify and anyone living when he had died had long since passed away. It was certain that his first name was John, but the middle name, "William", was also a guess. To date, I have never found any record where he had a middle initial although the transcription of the indexing of his name, for his marriage record, shows his name indexed as "John H. Hoover" but as you can see, on the attached scan of his actual marriage record, there is no middle initial listed. None of his seven siblings had any middle names or were ever listed with any middle initials on any records I have found for them, so it's my conclusion that John did not have a middle name or initial either and that the "William" that was added to his tombstone was merely a guess or speculation."
