The citizens of Trenton and Grundy County pay tribute to Bert and Rose (Hemley) Hoover, whose commitment and foresight have made such a positive impact on the community and county where they spent most of their lives. They did this in countless ways sharing both time and money to improve educational, economic, and spiritual opportunities for others, and through their work to preserve the history of the area. Among their many gifts during their lifetime was the gift of a flatiron downtown building to provide a permanent home for the Grundy County Museum and Historical Society, and Rose's gift of almost $500,000 to preserve and renovate the Grundy County Jewett Norris Library.

Upon the death of Rose Hoover in 1992, a foundation known as the Bert and Rose Hoover Foundation was established with a principle of approximately $2 million dollars to benefit in perpetuity the citizens of Grundy County and Trenton. By the end of 2006, only 14 years since the foundation's inception, the Bert and Rose Hoover Foundation had generated more than $1,300,000 which had been used to benefit our county.
