The van Hoevenberg Family

Louise Wood van Hoevenberg

1883-1974

6th Generation

Louise Wood van Hoevenberg was born on July 12, 1883, in Kingston, the only daughter of Dr Henry van Hoevenberg and Sarah Louise Wood van Hoevenberg. She was the sister of Henry van Hoevenberg, Jr, and Huyler Wood van Hoevenberg, the grandaughter of Dr James Oliver van Hoevenberg, and great niece of Martin Henry van Hoevenberg.

She never married, preferring to keep house in her parents' home, and she continued to live there until her death July 28, 1974. She was active in the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and was at one time regent of her chapter. It seems that at some point she took up the genealogical labors pioneered by her aunt, Alma Rogers van Hoevenberg, for so she was characterized by her father in a letter to Alfred Andrew's daughter Juliette Marie in 1945.
