General Notes: Husband - Abraham R. Hoover

---

near Chambersburg, Franklin Co, PA

He was reared on the farm and remained with his parents until twenty-two years of age, when he married and settled on the homestead farm and remained ten years. In 1878 he moved to his own place, where he owned 271 acres of clear land and sixty-six acres of mountain land. He made all the improvements after he moved there, except building the house. In May, 1882, he engaged in the dairy business; he kept from twenty-five to thirty-five cows and young stock, manufactured butter, cheese, etc., and had a ready sale for all he could make for the home trade. He manufactured about 140 pounds of butter and 150 pounds of cheese a week. He also dealt in poultry, having a very extensive poultry house, getting from 125 to 135 eggs a day during the egg season. He also dealt extensively in swine and stock of all kinds.
He and his wife were members of the United Brethren Church, where he was superintendent of the Sunday-school, trustee and class leader.
