Hoover, Ethel Frances Stultz (1892-1995)

Description

Photograph of Ethel (Stultz) Hoover as a young woman.

Ethel was from the St. Luke area of Shenandoah County. Her parents were Luther Abbot (1859-1922) and Minerva Frances (Wolverton) (1859-1922) Stultz.

She married Earl Belew Hoover (1893-1982), in 1925, in Woodstock. He was the son of Charles L. and Sarah Catherine (Wisman) Hoover. Both Earl and Esther were in their early thirties and living in Woodstock when they married.

Shortly after their wedding, the couple moved to New Freedom, York, Pennsylvania, where Earl already had a job with the American Insulator Company. Ethel worked at home as a dressmaker for many years. She did not have children.

In the 1930 and 1940 censuses, Ethel’s sister, Lena Stultz, lived with them in New Freedom.

Earl retired in 1951, and the couple spent their last years living together at the Shrewsbury Retirement Village in Pennsylvania.
