MARGARET HOOVER Mrs. Margaret Hoover, widow of George Hoover, died at her home on Hickory street, Roaring Spring, very suddenly at 12:30 o'clock on Sunday, death being due to an attack of heart trouble. Although in rather poor health the past three months, her condition was not considered serious and her death was a great shock to her family and a large circle of friends.

Two children, Robert and Mary, were born in Ireland, while Mrs. Hoover wand two other brothers, Joseph and George, were born in this country.

They established a home at Martinsburg but later moved to Henrietta where they lived for twenty- nine years. Mr. Hoover died there three years ago. This spring Mrs. Hoover moved to Roaring Spring to make her home. She was a member of the Church of God, and although she had been in Roaring Spring only a few months she had acquired a wide circle of friends there. She was a kind and loving mother, and was held in high esteem by all who knew her. Surviving are the following children: George Dewey of Henrietta, Samuel J. of Erb Station, Robert, Chester, Richard, Ralph and Miss Nannie, at home. Two brothers, George N. Joseph D. Trelfall, both of Pittsburgh, also survive.
