Peter Hoover, one of the earliest settlers of the town of LeRay, built this old house upwards of 125 years ago from limestone quarried in the immediate vicinity. He purchased the first 50-acre parcel of his 174.88-acre farm from James D LeRay de Chaumont July 13 1813 upon a survey made by Musgrove Evans August 18 1810. First he built himself a log house upon the tract, replacing it a few years later by the present house, which retains its original front door with its small, plain transom. The interior is well arranged with two remaining fireplaces and nice, original woodwork.
On March 21 1831 Mr Hoover added a 49.88-acre parcel winch he purchased from the trustees of the Mechanics' Fire Insurance company of New York City, and on November 9 1835 acquired another plot of 25 acres from Elizabeth Hoover. Later there came to him 50 acres from the estate of his son, Simon Hoover, who died intestate March 4 1876. This adjoined the westerly corner of his first 50 acre parcel.
The Hoover family was one of the oldest and best known in the towns of LeRay and Theresa, its members having been prominent in agriculture and in the earlier cheese industry.
Peter Hoover died February 19 1879 three years after the death of his son, Simon, leaving eight children, among whom he equally divided the bulk of his net estate. These children were Catherine Walradt, Sarah Bacon, Betsey C Helmer, Mary H Petrie, Almeda E Hoover, Clarinda Walradt, Isaac Hoover and Jacob A Hoover, George Petrie and Philip Helmer were executors of his estate.
At the time of his death Peter Hoover, who came from the Little Falls area of Herkimer, was 91 years of age. Upon his farm, which is located on the Dutch Settlement road about two miles north of Evans Mills is a spring which has never been known to run dry, and in the sale of this farm his executors reserved all the rights which he had granted during his lifetime to Leonard Heymer and Jacob Nate to use spring water from his farm in the operation of the Sunnyside cheese factory. Also was reserved the quarter acre of land, which he conveyed December 1 1851 for a nominal $10 to Alfred Vebber, Isaac Walradt and Alexander H VanBrocklin trustees, for a cemetery which became known as the Hoover burial ground
[NOTE: Find a Grave has this Hoover Cemetery on the CALL RD which is off the Dutch Settlement Rd, in Evans Mills]
This plot was a part of his farm and is still to be seen by those who pass by. First to be buried in it was J Adam Walradt who died February 27 1831 and who had expressed a desire to be buried in that vicinity. His friends accordingly selected the spot for the grave. As time went on other burials were made until there had been 80 when Mr Hoover conveyed the plot to the three neighbors chosen for cemetery trustees. Among those buried later in the cemetery was his son, Simon, who died at the age of 51.
The executors of Peter Hoover's estate disposed of this stone house and farm to Sylvester Petrie for $8,000 on January 5 1882 and it has since been in the Petrie estate. Following Mr Petrie's death his will giving his widow Caroline, a life-use of this farm and the home farm was recorded Mar 20 1907. and devised these properties to his children, Mrs Cora Petrie Drake, Mrs Effie Petrie Storms and Emory Petrie, who acquired the interests of his sisters and is now the owner of the property. He is a well known resident of Evans Mills and a former deputy sheriff. By coincidence he is now arranging to deed a half interest in this Hoover farm to his son, Paul, who is connected with Montgomery Ward & Company.

THE HOOVER BURIAL-GROUND
is located about two miles north of Evans' Mills, and was originally part of the farm of Peter Hoover. THe first burial was that of J. Adam Walradt, who died February 27, 1831. While living, he expressed a strong desire that he might be interred in that vicinity rather than at Evans' Mills, and , after his death, this spot was selected by friends as being the most appropriate. Mr. Hoover's permission was easily obtained, and after a few more burials had been made there he sold the spot - a quarter-acre - to Alfred Vebber, Isaac Walradt, and Alexander H. Van Brockelin, as trustees, for a public burial place. In this ground there have been about eighty burials; among them being that of Peter Hoover's son, Simon P. Hoover, who was cruelly murdered on March 4, 1876, near the house of Alfred Vebber, by Francis Grappot, who, after conviction of the crime, took his own life in the jail at Watertown.

GERMAN REFORMED CHURCH
A church of this denomination was formed July 13, 1822, with Alexander H. Van Brockelin, Peter Hoover, Richard Hoover, and John C. Walradt as deacons and elders. For many years an aged preacher from the Mohawk, familiarly know asa "Parson Devoe", came among them semi-annually to administer the rites of the church. They have now no pastor, and have never had a house of worship. Their meetings are held in the school-house near the northern corner of the town.

However, for the purpose of preserving the names of as many as possible of the early settlers in Le Ray, recourse is had to early town records, to old and time-worn papers and documents, and frequently to the memory of old residents of the locality, whose days of toil have passed but whose recollection of early events is clear and distinct. From all these sources we may learn the names of the early families, but their lives and individual works are reserved for another department of this volume. Collating the information, gathered from the sources mentioned, it is found that among the first settlers were James Anthony, Michael Coffeen, Ruell Kimball, Alfred Commins, Captain Richardson Avery, William Barber, Ethni Evans (founder of Evans

Peter Hoover, one of the earliest settlers of the town of LeRay, built this old house upwards of 125 years ago from limestone quarried in the immediate vicinity. He purchased the first 50-acre parcel of his 174.88-acre farm from James D LeRay de Chaumont July 13 1813 upon a survey made by Musgrove Evans August 18 1810. First he built himself a log house upon the tract, replacing it a few years later by the present house, which retains its original front door with its small, plain transom. The interior is well arranged with two remaining fireplaces and nice, original woodwork.
On March 21 1831 Mr Hoover added a 49.88-acre parcel winch he purchased from the trustees of the Mechanics' Fire Insurance company of New York City, and on November 9 1835 acquired another plot of 25 acres from Elizabeth Hoover. Later there came to him 50 acres from the estate of his son, Simon Hoover, who died intestate March 4 1876. This adjoined the westerly corner of his first 50 acre parcel.
The Hoover family was one of the oldest and best known in the towns of LeRay and Theresa, its members having been prominent in agriculture and in the earlier cheese industry.
Peter Hoover died February 19 1879 three years after the death of his son, Simon, leaving eight children, among whom he equally divided the bulk of his net estate. These children were Catherine Walradt, Sarah Bacon, Betsey C Helmer, Mary H Petrie, Almeda E Hoover, Clarinda Walradt, Isaac Hoover and Jacob A Hoover, George Petrie and Philip Helmer were executors of his estate.
At the time of his death Peter Hoover, who came from the Little Falls area of Herkimer, was 91 years of age. Upon his farm, which is located on the Dutch Settlement road about two miles north of Evans Mills is a spring which has never been known to run dry, and in the sale of this farm his executors reserved all the rights which he had granted during his lifetime to Leonard Heymer and Jacob Nate to use spring water from his farm in the operation of the Sunnyside cheese factory. Also was reserved the quarter acre of land, which he conveyed December 1 1851 for a nominal $10 to Alfred Vebber, Isaac Walradt and Alexander H VanBrocklin trustees, for a cemetery which became known as the Hoover burial ground
[NOTE: Find a Grave has this Hoover Cemetery on the CALL RD which is off the Dutch Settlement Rd, in Evans Mills]
This plot was a part of his farm and is still to be seen by those who pass by. First to be buried in it was J Adam Walradt who died February 27 1831 and who had expressed a desire to be buried in that vicinity. His friends accordingly selected the spot for the grave. As time went on other burials were made until there had been 80 when Mr Hoover conveyed the plot to the three neighbors chosen for cemetery trustees. Among those buried later in the cemetery was his son, Simon, who died at the age of 51.
The executors of Peter Hoover's estate disposed of this stone house and farm to Sylvester Petrie for $8,000 on January 5 1882 and it has since been in the Petrie estate. Following Mr Petrie's death his will giving his widow Caroline, a life-use of this farm and the home farm was recorded Mar 20 1907. and devised these properties to his children, Mrs Cora Petrie Drake, Mrs Effie Petrie Storms and Emory Petrie, who acquired the interests of his sisters and is now the owner of the property. He is a well known resident of Evans Mills and a former deputy sheriff. By coincidence he is now arranging to deed a half interest in this Hoover farm to his son, Paul, who is connected with Montgomery Ward & Company.

Obituary.
Under the appropriate column we announce the death of Peter Hoover in his 92nd year. He was all through the war of 1812, and at Sackets Harbor at the same time the British were repulsed; being such he was of course was a pensioner for a great many years. He was a life long Democrat and seldom, if ever missed to poll his vote as election day came around. He died at his farm in LeRay, near Evans Mills and leaves two sons, one in California and one in Ohio, and five daughters, all of whom are living in his late residence. Mr Hoover was a member of the Methodist church and as such died in the faith of a better and purer life. The funeral will be held this afternoon from his late residence at one o'clock.
