| 62 |  | Hershey Reformed Mennonte Congregation, Derry Twp., Dauphin County, PA Just south of Spring Creek, another Anabaptist fellowship took place on Bachmanville road. A number of Hoover descendants joined this congregation, known as the Hershey Reformed Mennonite Church. From here, some Hoover descendants found their way to Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and Muscatine, Iowa. This Hoover branch, once they were no longer part of the non-resistant Mennonite Church, became involved in politics and national defence. J. Edger Hoover was a descendant of this family. | |
| 63 |  | Hoover Families in Derry Townshp, Dauphin County, PA Hans Jörg and Anna Maria (Hoos) Huber, Swiss German immigrants, arrived in what is now Derry Township in 1738. They settled on what is now Bullfrog Valley Road, just south of Hershey, Pennsylvania (7). Here they established a cemetery, the Huber / Hoover Farm Cemetery, that was later moved to the nearby Spring Creek German Baptist Cemetery (4). Some members of this family joined the Hershey Reformed Mennonite congregation (8) on Bachmanville Road. Other descendants of this Hoover family of Derry Townshp, apparently joined both the German Baptist and the River Brethren (Children of Zion / Brinserites) throughout the Big Swatara region in the early 1800s. | |

| 70 |  | James and Mary Rebecca (Young) Hoover The Lord did not bless James and Mary (May) Hoover with children, but their fulfilment in serving others at Sibu amply rewarded them with a host of sincere friends and co-labourers. Life never became uneventful along the Rajang River delta. | |
| 71 |  | James M. Hoover After his sudden departure, through sickness, the large number of Christians along the Rajang River missed him very much. But the work of the Lord has continued, strongly, to this day. | |

| 76 |  | Lower Paxton Church of the Brethren Meetinghouse and Cemetery Address: 6445 Lyters Lane Harrisburg, PA 17111-4646 Phone: 717-564-9455 For many years the brothers and sisters met in barns, houses, sheds, or in the open field for meetings.

| 77 |  | Lower Paxton German Baptist Meetinghouse George and Elizabeth Hoover belonged to this congregation, as well as Abrahm and Rebecca Hoover and Samuel and Sarah Hoover. Other members of this congregation included the Augst, Barnhart, Baum, Bivens, Bowman, Cassel, Chud, Damy, Dunn, Fackler, Fitz, Jones, Lyter, Miller, Rhinehart, Schmidt, Schertzer, Shope, and Smith families, amongst others. | |
| 78 |  | Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County, PA In the south-eastern corner of Lower Paxton Township you may see red markers on George and Samuel Hoover's homes, as well as the German Baptist cemetery in George Smith's farm. | |
| 79 |  | Marriage of John and Elizabeth (Hoover) Wideman Jacob Sherk, John's uncle, appears as the witness at this marriage. Peter Doner, also a married man, and an uncle (through marriage) for Elizabeth, appears as the other witness in the marriage. Hence John and Barbara (Heise) Hoover do seem to be the parents of Elizabeth Hoover, as believed by Norman and Ezra Wideman. According to the statement at the end of this page, the Mennonite bishop Jacob Grove married the two couples listed here. But you may notice the initials "J Do" appearing next to Elizabeth Hoover's name. This may also indicate that the Tunker Bishop, John Doner, was also at the wedding and involved with the marriage celebration. | |
