Exam day would often find me in the chapel half way up the tower where I would be writing away in the blue exam book. The year I was graduating they had some structure issues in the tower and each piece was removed and labeled and sat in the grass in front of the building. It was nice to see the "faces" up close. I am glad you too the time to visit - it is a great place to visit and walk around. Rev.

It is the place of my fathers birth in 1892. Hoping to find more about his family farm we stopped at the city hall and was directed to the funeral home for more information. The gentleman there was headed to the cemetery and suggested we accompany him. I knew my dad was from the Hoover family, but didn’t know much more. He directed us to the Eli Hoover grave stone. We were totally fascinated with the inscription. Upon returning to San Diego I brought up my family tree only to discover that Eli was my great grandfather. His daughter, Mary Jane Hoover was from his second marriage, and she was my fathers mother. She married Gerald Harvey and my father was their son. Dad was raised in the Friends Church, and loved the Lord, passing away in 1979. He was a gentle and loving father, with a ready laugh. Thank you for your post, it brought back a wonderful memory.Charlyn Harvey Hadanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-12457861677254446092023-06-21T08:43:16.966-05:002023-06-21T08:43:16.966-05:00How neat!

I remember always being fascinated by the Hoover tree gravestone as a child. My grandfather, Henry Bunte, was the sexton of the cemetery until 1953. He used to mow the whole place with a push mower!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-84717816568308596052020-04-30T22:29:47.565-05:002020-04-30T22:29:47.565-05:00I've been following you guys on Facebook.

I was just thinking of you the other day and wondering how you are and what you are up to these days. I know the Lord led you to publish this post because the quotes and Scriptures you shared were spot-on for me this morning. I so needed these reminders and am so thankful you were faithful to the Spirit's nudge to write. I loved seeing your photos of Alaska, too! How beautiful it must be there! So thankful all is well with you and grateful to hear from you today!
