Martin A Hoover was born near Apple Creek, Wayne Co., Ohio, Sept. 20th, 1834, where he lived until 1854, when, at the age of 20 years, he moved with his parents to Clinton Twp., Elkhart Co., Ind.

He united with the Mennonite church thirty-six years ago, and in 1875 he was chosen and ordained to the ministry. He was a faithful member of the church, and discharged the solemn duties of his office as a minister to the best of his ability until the Lord called him away from the trials and the toils of this earthly life to the realities of the life to come. He died Nov. 26th, 1895, aged 61 years, 2 months and 6 days.
During his last illness he suffered very severely from a complication of diseases for a number of weeks, all of which he bore with patience and resignation to the will of the Lord, and looked forward to the hour of his departure, having a desire to depart and be with Christ which is far better. He was buried at the Yellow Creek M. H. on Nov. 29th, where funeral services were conducted by C. Bear, Michael Shirk and Martin Ramer, from the text, Rev. 14: 13.
