My Father was a policeman in Venice in the 40's and 50's. There was a policeman, I think his name was Jake Hoover and he had a son Billy. The last I heard he lived in Madison. I don't remember if he was adopted. If you think there is a connection I will try to locate his address. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 7:51 PM Subject: [ILMADISO-L] Looking for information on the Deatherage and Hoover families > Nellie Deatherage married Frank Hoover and they had a son Emmett (who later > became the Sheriff of Venice).
