E. D. King Recalls Life in Quaint Quaker Settlement in
Jowa—Lived With Candidate’s Family.
E. D. King, 1216 Richmond Street, Kansas City, Kansas,
has many interesting incidents to relate about the Hoover fam­
ily, having himself lived in the Hoover home in West Branch,
Iowa, at the time Herbert Hoover was born.
—
Mr. King was working tor Herbert’s
father In the blacksmith shop at the
time. It was he who went for the doc
tor when Herbert was born. Mr. King
ate his meals with the Hoover family
West Branch was at that time a
town of about 400 population. It bad
two blacksmith shops, one hotel, a
livery stable, four general stores, and
a restaurant. It Is located in Cedar
County, where broad Quaker hats and
poke bonnets were worn for almost a
generation. Cedar county was on the
western edge of the original Black
Hawk Purchase which was the
nucleus of the State of Iowa. Here
farms bordered rougher land of hill
and ravine.
According to Mr. King, Hoover was
a respected name in Iowa. The fam
lly originated in Holland, but has been
represented in the United States for I
nearly two centuries. Andrew Hoover
and two brothers, about 1740, cbtalned [
land In the uplands of Maryland. Later J
Andrew's son, John, joined a group of
Quakers and moved to the Western
Reserve In Ohio.
It was in 1853 that the son of John,
Jesse Hoover, Rebecca, his wife, and
Eli, their son, and his three children
moved farther West, helping to found
tlie town of West Branch. The King
family settled there the same year,
and loth families lived in log cabins
for a while, later building better
