Hoover Hill Cemetery

The OES visited the Hoover Hill Cemetery on October 4, 2003. The cemetery sits on a small hill surrounded by farmland on the west side of the road. It is, for the most part, surrounded by an old iron fence that was probably installed to keep animals that once grazed the fields out. Most of the stones are in good condition, but as with many older cemeteries, there has been some vandalism and weathering of the stones. Many stones date back to the mid-1800s, so that is probably around the time it was founded. A few soldiers from the Civil War and the War of 1812 are buried within the cemetery. There was one in-ground crypt in the cemetery, and a section that was slightly walled off from the rest. The oldest burials on record are of Jacob Hoover who died in 1825 and John H. Hoover who died February 25, 1828, and the last burial was William Hoover who died on January 2, 1892. We did get some slightly high EMF readings in the rear of the cemetery, but nothing too out of the ordinary.
