The remains of Mrs. Hoover was brought here last Friday from Sparta, Wisconsin and were interred last Saturday. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. McCoy and the remains were followed to their last earthly resting place by a large concourse of sympathizing friends. (Emmet County Republican, Estherville, IA, December 20, 1888)

Elly Ridley was incapacitated for work several days this week caused by heart trouble. The attack occurred during the funeral services for his sister, Mrs. Hoover, last Saturday and was severe enough to throw him into spasms. He was carried from the church unconscious causing considerable stir in the large audience assembled. (Northern Vindicator, Estherville, IA, December 21, 1888)
