Coovers in Cumberland County, PA
In searching for info re relatives in the Mohler line of my family, I learned a great deal about several early generations of the family (back to 1700).
I also learned that there were Coovers who married Mohlers and Mohlers who married Coovers in eastern PA (mostly in Lancaster and Cumberland Counties) and that some of these persons are buried in the Coover Cemetery in Hampden Township, Cumberland County, PA. Some are buried in cemeteries in Lancaster County, including the Mohler Cemetery at Ephrata.
My wife of 14+ years is a Coover. Her grandfather Alvin Raymond Coover was a Methodist Minister in Iowa. He was born in Cumberland County, PA on 18 January, 1877.
His father was Wilson Coover, born in Cumberland County, PA. on 13 July, 1859. He was married to Emma Hance (Hantz) who was born 6 February, 1855.
If anyone has information on Wilson Coover or Alvin Raymond Coover or on Coovers in Lancaster and Cumberland Counties, I will be most eager to hear from them.
