Extractions: HERBERT CLARK HOOVER: A Biographical Sketch Jesse Hoover moved from Ohio with his father Eli in 1854. They traveled by river boat and covered wagon to a farm outside West Branch, Iowa, a small town founded by Quakers. In 1870, Jesse, now the town blacksmith, married Hulda Minthorn, a teacher from Ontario, Canada. The Hoovers began a family in a small cottage by the Wapsinonoc Creek. Their first son Theodore (Tad, 1871) was followed on August 10, 1874 by another boy, Herbert Clark Hoover (Bert). On the occasion of his son's birth Jesse went through town declaring, "We have another General Grant in our house." Herbert's birth was followed in 1876 by the birth of a sister, Mary (May). The Hoover children spent their early years growing up in West Branch, Iowa. West Branch provided both joys and hazards of life. The children could hike, explore, and swim as well as hunt for fossils and agate in the glacial gravel along the railroad tracks. Their Quaker upbringing forbade the Hoover boys from carrying a gun, so they learned to hunt for rabbit and prairie chickens with bow and arrow. They learned these skills from young Indian boys who were attending a local government training school. Willow poles, butcher string lines and hooks that cost a penny apiece provided Herbert Hoover with sunfish and catfish. There was also Cook's Hill for sledding on home-made sleds.

Extractions: Herbert C Hoover, president Information on the accomplishments in the Life of Herbert C. Hoover, former president of the U.S. Abraham Lincoln is often admired as being the man who was born in a log cabin, but through hard work and overcoming many adversities he arose to become President of the United States. The same can be said about Herbert Hoover, yet most people seem to remember is that he was President when the depression hit. And most of the blame was put on his shoulders. Even today when the economy is on a downswing you will here people say, " Well the Hoover days are upon us again." If one takes a look into the life of Hoover they will find a man who knew poverty, sorrow, and the value of hard work. Herbert Hoover was born in 1874 to poor Quaker family in Cedar County Iowa. He was the second child in a family of three children. By the time he was eleven both parents had died. The three Hoover children (older brother and younger sister) were separated and lived among various relatives. For the first few months Hoover lived with and uncle and aunt, who owned a farm. On the farm young Hoover did his share of the work on the farm. He cleaned out the barn, milked the cows and even work in the potato fields. An uncle in Oregon, who had just lost his son, decided he wanted the orphan Hoover to come live with him. So Hoover spent the remainder of his childhood in Oregon, where he received his basic education. He proved to be a very bright student.
