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. | |
| 70 |  | History of the Patriarchs After Bishop Benjamin Eby's work in the Grand River Valley, Mennonite parents gave all of their teenagers a bilingual copy of the History of the Patriarchs (Peter Hoover's copy, printed, oddly, without a date, in America in the mid-1800s). This, along with a bilingual New Testament, Benjamin Eby's Kirchen-Geschichte and the Anrede an die Jugend by Christian Burkholder. These writings are still treasured by many serious Anabaptists (the ones who get around with horses and buggies) today. | |

| 89 |  | Jacob Hoover Grave Marker Buried in the Rainham Mennonite Cemetery along Lake Erie, Jacob's simple marker states: JACOB HOOVER died February 6, 1810 In the 67th year of his age Not much to say on this side of eternity.

| 90 |  | Jacob Hoover's Letter to a Local Judge Obviously Jacob Hoover, who wrote and spoke German fluently, worked with a scribe, somewhere, to write up this letter for the local Court at Cayuga, Ontario. His Christian conviction, speaking for the Rainham Mennonite Congregation, stands squarely on Early Christian and Anabaptist belief. | |
| 91 |  | Jacob Hoover's Letter to Bishop Thielmann Meier (Dilman Moyer), 1862 In the mid-1800s Mennonite families of the Niagara District -- the Rainham congregation includes -- suffered a sharp identity crisis. All around them Protestants experienced glorious revivals and the mission emphasis took young men and women from Canada-West (now southern Ontario) to foreign fields far and wide. Many young Mennonites felt restless. In the Moyer congregation at Vineland Bishop Jacob Gross and minister Daniel Hoch led numerous families into "born again" fellowships where prayer and camp meetings attracted crowds from all denominations. Both Thielmann Meier and Jacob Hoover of Rainham shared deep concern and common distress on what was happening. What good can come out of confusion? Out of worldliness, or careless living? What happens when humility, nonconformity and obedience give way to religious emotionalism? Jacob Hoover prayed much (see his obituary below), and not without reason. Of his eleven children, only three "stayed plain" (Daniel, Peter and Lydia). And the rest of them, inspired by the great revivals, all found their way into main-stream Canadian society. Jacob wrote this letter in German, but it was later translated to English by Peter Boschart, an Amish-Mennonite brother from Milverton, Ontario, for the Rainham Mennonite Minister, A. Lewis Fretz. | |

| 93 |  | 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. | |
| 94 |  | 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. | |

| 99 |  | Looking South to the Lake Planting the crops, cutting hay, and pitching stooks never seemed to onerous on a hot day, as long as the boys could slip down to the lake, in the evening to wash off the dust and grime. Menno Hoover, after he left this farm, always missed the beauty of Lake Erie next door. | |
