Peter Hooverson

Some mention should be made of Peter Hooverson, although
we have very little definite information about him. We do
know that he was a partner with Atley Peterson in the saw
mill business; that he enlisted with the Union Forces in
the Civil War. Also that he contracted a serious illness
during his war service which caused his death shortly
after his return to Soldiers Grove. He built the large
square two story house in the rear of the Dug Out Cafe
and his family continued to occupy the home for many
years after his death. His wife and three daughters
removed from Soldiers Grove about 1896 or 1898.
