Throughout the years they
have been identified with the
area's civic and fraternal cir
cles. Mrs. Hoover has worked
with the Oregon State Home
Extension units and Eagle
Point Garden club, and both
have been active in the Eagle
Point Grange. They are both
members of the Southern Ore
gon Historical society andlvir.
Hoover belongs to the Farm
Bureau and a number of oth
er fraternal and civic groups.
He is an honorary member of
Medford Rotary club.
Mr. Hoover's family came
to Oregon in the early days
and his grandfather. Dr.
George Hoover, was an early-
day physician in Roseburg.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. L.
E. Hoover, came to Medford
in 1890 and lived in a house
located near the East Main
street bridge. C. C. Hoover
was born in Grants Pass.
Mr. Hoover talks with en
thusiasm and pride of the
work he and other early-day
residents of the area did to
develop agricultural and al
lied interests. For a time he
operated a nursery and later
was in the cattle and dairy
business. At one time Mr. Hoo
ver and his sons operated
orchards, and were also in
the wholesale meat business.
He recalls when five and
seven cents a quart was the
standard price for whole milk.
For many years Mr. Hoover
was interested in seed and
working with Oregon State
university and other scien
tists, helped to bring about
the use of native Jackson
county grasses for use as pas
ture grass. Mr. Hoover and
other men of the valley are
credited with having been the
first to sow seed from an
airplane, the seed having been
the native poa bulbosa. This
was done to publicize the
area as a seed-growing cen
ter, and the effort received
nation-wide recognition.
In Real Estate
In recent years Mr. Hoo
ver and his sons have been
engaged in buying and selling
land in the White City area,
and they developed a chain of
eight lakes as a recreation
area, Working with the Eagle
Point Grange, Keep Oregon
Green association, Boy and
Girl Scouts, the Camp Fire
Girls and school children. Mr.
Hoover has, as a public serv
ice, Bought and distributed
hundreds of thousands of
small trees to be planted in
Jackson, Klamath and Doug
las counties. The trees, of 42
varieties, have come from all
over the United Stales. In this
project trained nurserymen
and landscape specialists have
been consulted.
The Hoovers hope to con
tinue their fraternal and civic
activities for many more
years.
Among the guests were sev
eral men who had made their
home with the Hoovers as
boys and young men,
