    "Mrs. Hover, of Ponca, Ok. mother of Mrs. Henry Craig, and Mrs. Craig's niece, who have been visiting here for some time, went up to Burlingame Tuesday and will visit a while after which they will go to Topeka." Mary Ann Gibson Fisher Hover travels a lot. In her later years she seems to move about between her children's home often. This is a rare mention of her living in Oklahoma. The location, Ponca presumably referring to Ponca City, is suspect given she was likely living with her daughter Mary Amelia Million who resided in Pond Creek, OK at this time. Also interesting, Mary Amelia dies only three months after this date.
