Message Board Post:
Do you have any pictures of Katherine and her two sisters, or Katherine and her parents?
I have do done a lot of research on Katherine and her two sisters who were twins, Nellie
Pearl and Ruby Maude. I found an announcement in the newspaper when she was born. Do you
know much about her father Frank Hoover? I know that her mother Olive Etta Pace married
Frank Hoover 25 March 1887. Katherine was born the 5 December 1887. On 22 August 1889
Olive and Frank had the twins. I can find mention of Frank in the local papers up through
December of 1889. He was a deputy sherriff. After that he just seems to drop off the
face of the earth.
Not sure what happened to him. I have heard stories here and there but would be curious
to hear what you might have heard. Did Katherine have a journal or life history that was
written in.
I know Olive remarried in 1896 to John Schoettlin in Colorado. She was living with her
oldest sister in Colorado, not sure if Katherine and the twins were living with her or
with Olive's mom in Provo, Utah.
Any light you can shed on this family would be great.
