Happy Anniversary Herbert Clark Hoover - Political Heresy and Unvarnished Truth


Happy Anniversary Herbert Clark Hoover - Political Heresy and Unvarnished Truth

The Tentacle column by Kevin Dayhoff for February 11, 2009

Yesterday, in 1899, the future 31st president of the United States, Herbert Clark Hoover, married Lou Henry in Monterey, CA. Happy anniversary, Mr. President.

I mention this for several reasons. Hear me out, for there is a method to my madness.

Of course, for starters, I readily admit that I am fascinated with everything that has to do with anything about presidential history; especially presidential trivia.

As an aside, President Hoover shows up from time-to-time in my research on the history of Carroll County. According to Cathy Baty, a local history buff at the Historical Society of Carroll County:

“Herbert Hoover’s great-great-great-grandfather, Andrew Hoover, settled in Maryland in the 1740s. President Hoover came to Carroll County on May 25, 1929, to visit his ancestral home on a land tract named "Mirey Spring," located near Linwood, on Clear Ridge Road, south of Uniontown and adjacent to the Pipe Creek Brethren Church.”
