Buffalo County (Neb.) Journal: “The old, old fashion death! O, thank God, all who see it, for that older fashion yet of immortality.”
Mrs. Eva Cox Hoover, wife of Dr. Maurice A. Hoover, died in this city at 1 o’clock p.m. on Saturday, January 12, 1895, aged 39 years, 2 months and 6 days. Her death was caused by a cancer which first made its appearance four years ago last April, although her serious illness dates only six weeks prior to her death, but since that time she was helpless and required the constant care and attention of her attendants. Through all her years of suffering, she never once complained of her lot, but bore every pain with a womanly heroism that was almost godlike.
Mrs. Hoover was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana November 6, 1855, and there grew to womanhood. She early embraced the Christian faith, and joined the M. E. Church, of which she remained a devoted member to her death.
Two of her children are dead, leaving but one—Bessie—a sweet little girl nearly ten years of age. Miss Eva Cox was married to Dr. Hoover at Grand Island, November 3, 1883, coming at once to Kearney where they have since resided. Mrs. Hoover was a sincere Christian woman, and lived in close communion with the light. Her faith and hope were beacon lights that burned with a steady illumination to the last, casting their rays, even from the couch of death, far across the dark waters that noiselessly and ceaselessly roll over the cataract of time, into the silent ocean whose boundaries are laved by the waters of eternity.
Mrs. Hoover will be sadly missed in the community where she has been known so long and loved so much; she will be missed in the church where she loved to listen to the words of wisdom from the lips of inspiration; but more sadly will she be missed in the home of which she has been the guardian angel and the inspiration for good, for many years. To the afflicted husband and little daughter, a cloud of (whoops - ending is gone - so sorry
