Hoover, who was formerly identified with industrial interests as a carpenter, now devotes his attention to general agricultural pursuits, owning an excellent farm of eighty acres on section 21, Monroe township. His birth occurred in Pennsylvania on the 12th of November, 1862, his parents being Levi S. and Sarah (Albaugh) Hoover, who were likewise natives of the Keystone state. Leav-ing that part of the country, they journeyed westward to Linn county, Iowa, and here continued to reside until called to their final rest, the father passing away in 1886, aged sixty-eight years (incorrect, should read sixty-six years), and the mother in September, 1905, at the advanced age of eighty-nine years. He was a Union soldier during the Civil war, serving for three years as a member of the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, and partici-pating in many engagements, including the battle of Gettysburg. In his family were five children, three of whom still survive. James A. Hoover supplemented his preliminary education by a high school course and when seventeen years of age began providing for his own support by working as a farm hand, being thus employed until he had attained his majority. He then learned the carpenter's trade and successfully followed that occupation for a number of years or until he turned his attention to agricultural pursuits in 1902. In that year he bought a farm of eighty acres on section 21, Monroe town-ship, on which he has since resided and in the operation of which he has been very successful. His fields are richly cultivated and in addition to the tilling of the soil he raises and feeds hogs, both branches of his business returning to him a gratifying annual income. He likewise acts as manager of the Robins Telephone Company, which has connections with the Bell Telephone Company. On the 27th of October, 1885, Mr. Hoover was united in marriage to Miss Char-lotte Cronk, who was born in Linn county on the 24th of August, 1866, her parents being James T. and Amy (Kramer) Cronk. Her father was a native of Prince Albert, Canada, born March 1, 1834, and died on the 8th of May, 1902. During the Civil war he enlisted in Company C, Fifteenth Iowa Infantry, having come to this state in 1856. His wife, who was born in Pennsylvania, June 1, 1838, be-longed to one of the earliest of Linn county's pioneer families, having come here in 1839 with her parents, Andrew and Mary (Franks) Kramer, who were natives of Maryland and Pennsylvania respectively. The family located at Linn Grove. Mrs. Cronk is still living and continues to make her home in this county. She is the mother of seven children, including Mrs. Hoover, who enjoyed the advantages of a good high school education. To our subject and his wife have been born nine children, as follows: John C, Carlton C, Teddy, Pearl I., Leah M., James L., Francis, Bessie, and Ralph."
