Read More	Over exertion during a golf match on the hilly links at Peru Wednesday, followed by a long ride through the cold air after becoming extremely warm and a hearty meal later in the evening, are believed responsible for the death from heart failure of John B. HOOVER, well known Rochester undertaker and furniture dealer, who was found dead in his furniture store early Thursday morning. He was 54 years of age. Mr. Hoover had enjoyed his customary good health and so far as could be learned had never complained of his heart, which must have been affected, however, by his exertions Wednesday at Peru. In company with several companions, Floyd [VanTRUMP] and Carl VanTRUMP, he went to Peru where he played golf strenuously thruout the day. Returning to Rochester in the evening, the party ate a hearty meal and a little later left his friends and apparently went to his furniture store. Hoover was in the habit of stopping in his place of business in the evening and working on his books or some other work about the store. It is believed that while so engaged he fell ill and went to the upper floor of the store to lay down. It was here that his body was found by Ora FOSTER, an employee of the store, when he opened up for business Thursday morning. Physicians were summoned and they in company with Coroner HAIMBAUGH, pronounced death due to heart failure. The body was removed to the Hoover chapel. Funeral arrangements will be made later. John B. HOOVER was born in Rochester, December 30, 1868, a son of Christian and Margaret HOOVER, deceased. He was educated in the public schools of Rochester and later became associated with his father in the furniture and undertaking business. About 30 years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Jennie BUTLER, who with a son, Tom HOOVER, a sister, Mrs. M. O. REES, of this city, and a foster sister, Miss Trude HOOVER, survive. Two half-brothers, George [HOOVER] and Charley HOOVER, and a half-sister preceded him. Hoover was probably one of the best known business men in this section of the country. His father, Christian Hoover, had been engaged in business in Rochester continuously over a period of 65 years and John Hoover took over the furniture and undertaking business left by the father at his death several years ago. He was always an extremely active man, in spite of his advanced years and was very popular among his numerous friends. He was known as an expert sportsman and spent considerable time in hunting and fishing and more especially in later years during the season at playing golf. Among other activities were his acts of charity, which though little known to the public, were of great extent in the community. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to a friend. He was a member of the Eagles lodge and a staunch supporter of the G.O.P. Rochester Sentinel, Thursday, May 24, 1923
