T. Leonard Hoover

T. Leonard Hoover, a former resident of Wellsville, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. 
T.B. Hoover, died at the residence of his uncle, Hon. Richard Young, in 
Brooklyn, about 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon, from the effects of a stroke of 
apoplexy, which he sustained Sunday morning.  He was aged about 36 years.

Mr. Hoover for some years had been employed by his uncle in his leather business 
in a confidential capacity and resided at his uncle’s home.  The sad death of 
his cousin, Richard Young, Jr., last Thursday, is believed to have been a 
contributing cause of Mr. Hoover’s death, which occurred while funeral services 
were being held in memory of Mr. Young, next door.  His brother, Walter W. 
Hoover, was with him when death came.

The deceased was a young man who was very highly respected and widely known.  He 
was a graduate of Dickinson College, Carlisle, and was for a time a Professor in 
one of the departments, later being elected a trustee, which office he held at 
the time of his death.  He is survived by his parents, two brothers and two 
sisters, Walter W. and Donald D. Hoover, Mrs. Charles Salter and Miss Dorothy 
Hoover.

The funeral was held Wednesday, with services in the Wellsville M.E. Church and 
interment in the Warrington Friends’ Cemetery.  Dr. Morgan and Prof. Prince, of 
Dickinson College, made the principal addresses.  Rev. Al…er, the pastor, 
participated in the services, while Rev. Harry Minsker of Baltimore and Rev. 
H.T. Bowersox of Rossville were also present.  Chas. G. Elicker had charge of 
the funeral.  The pall-bearers were Messrs. Walter W. Hoover, Donald D. Hoover, 
A.D. Belt, J.E. Belt, W.H. Barrett, Charles M. Salter, Robert D. Milligan and 
A.R. Wells.  The floral tributes were many and very beautiful.
