Bill & Ruth’s Excellent Adventure

On 24 September 1941, William “Bill” Hocker Jr. married Ruth Hoover at Olivet Presbyterian Church in Harrisburg.

William’s sister Anna stood up with the couple, as did Ruth’s brother Don. Anna later married another of Ruth’s brothers, Willard “Boots” Hoover, almost a year later in 1942. Bill and Ruth were married for 66 years—a most excellent adventure.
