PHILIP HOOVER
Arizona, the Youngest State, 1913, pg 641

Arizona was called on to mourn the loss of one of her 
pioneer residents when on the 3rd of January 1912, Philip 
Hoover died at his home in Prescott.   He had been a 
resident of the state since the late 1860's and was accounted 
one of the leading business men of the city, where since 1893 
he had conducted a butcher shop.  He was born in Pennsylvania, 
October 29, 1843 and there acquired a public school education.  
He enlisted for service in the Civil War in Company H., Twenty 
Second Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry and was honorably 
discharged with the rank of sergeant.

After the close of hostilities Mr. Hoover came west and 
settled in Colorado, where for several years he was 
engaged in the stock business. In the late 60's he removed 
to Arizona and turned his attention to the cattle business, 
with which he remained connected during the remainder of 
his life.  In 1893 he added to his activities by 
establishing a butcher shop in Prescott and under his 
able management this became one of the leading enterprises 
of its kind in the city.  Mr. Hoover was known in business 
circles as a man of insight, ability and discrimination 
and was held in high regard.

His widow Mrs. Matilda Hoover, still lives in Prescott.
