MRS ANNA HOOVER FOUND DEAD IN HOME
Mrs. Anna E. Hoover, 89 years, mother of R. D. Hoover, and lifelong resident of Montgomery Township, was found dead at her home two miles west and one mile north of Risingsun, Wednesday morning. It is thought death was due to heart trouble and indigestion. The opinion is she had entered the house from her chore work; Tuesday evening, and sat down in a chair, when she fell to the floor where she was found, indicating death had come early Tuesday evening. Three children survive, R. D. Hoover, John Hoover, and Mrs. Sarah Hunt.
The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at the U. B. church.
