The announcement is made in the Publishers' Auxiliary of January 17 
that James J. Hoover, editor and publisher of the Canal Fulton (Ohio) 
Signal, died suddenly at this home during the early part of the month.  
Mr. Hoover was the son of the late Samuel Hoover, who was elected 
treasurer of Blair county in 1856, and who, with his son P. W. Hoover 
was editor of the Hollidaysburg Register for several years.  James J. 
Hoover learned the art preservative of all arts in the Register office. 
Years ago the family removed to Massillon, Ohio, where the father and 
James J. purchased the Massillon American.  For several years the 
latter conducted the Canal Fulton Signal.  He was a man of more than 
ordinary ability, and was born in Williamsburg about 70 years ago.
