   FREDERICK HOOVER was born in Wayne County, Ind., January 27, 1828. In his
native county he attained his majority, and followed farming until 1862, when he
came to this county, settling in Madison Township. There he remained about eight
years, when he purchased a tract of land, in Sections 4 and 5, Cicero Township,
containing 125 acres. Of this farm he has about seventy-five acres under
cultivation and well drained. It averages fifty bushels of corn and about
eighteen bushels of wheat to the acre. His corn he feeds to his stock; he raises
principally cattle and hogs. During the war and after, Mr. Hoover was engaged in
mercantile business, in partnership with Mr. Ad Jackson, in Tipton. At this he
continued for about seven years, when he sold out his interest and returned to
agricultural pursuits; he has been twice married, first in 1851 to Miss Eveline
T. Miller, of Wayne County, Ind., whose death occurred in 1861. His second
marriage occurred January 10, 1866, to Martha J. Manifold, also of Wayne County.
By his first wife he has two children now living-Jacob M. and William M. By his
second wife, he has one child, a daughter, also living, named Mary E. Mr. Hoover
takes quite an interest in the culture of bees, of which he has at present
twenty-eight hives in splendid condition. Both he and his wife are members of
the church. He is politically a member of the Democratic party.
