Hoover, Irwin M.

  Irwin M. Hoover, one of the leading citizens of Hooversville, died suddenly in 
his garden Friday evening of heart disease. Mr. Hoover was appointed Justice of 
the Peace by Governor Pattison in 1891 and proved himself to be such a 
satisfactory official that the voters of that place keep him in office 
continuously hear after, despite the fact that he was an uncompromising Democrat 
while Hooversville is a Republican district. Squire Hoover was well known all 
over the county. He is survived by his wife and several brothers and sisters.

Meyersdale Commercial, July 20, 1916
