I've "rescued" an old photograph of Hiram HOOVER which was taken at the H.
A. Jordan Studio in Cedar Falls or Waterloo, Iowa. The photograph appears
to have been taken in the 1880's with Hiram likely in his 40's at the time
it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following
information regarding Hiram and his family:
Hiram Alonzo HOOVER was b. 1844 in IN to parents Abraham HOOVER (b. 15 Apr
1797 in PA) and Mary SPEEDY (b. abt 1803 in PA). Hiram died in Mahaska Co.
IA in 1929.

know someone who might be, please contact me.
