Henry Van Hoevenberg Jr. (September 1, 1879 – September 18, 1955) was an American football player and coach.
Early life and football career
Van Hoevenberg was born in 1879 at Kingston, New York.[1] He attended Columbia University, where he played for the Columbia Lions football team at the end and quarterback positions from 1900 to 1901.[2][3][4][5][6] He was selected by Walter Camp as a third-team end on his 1900 College Football All-America Team. He graduated from Columbia in 1902 with a law degree.[1][7] In September 1902, Van Hoevenberg was hired as the head football coach at Rutgers University, leading the 1902 Rutgers Queensmen football team to a 3–7 record in his only season as head coach.[2][8]
Later life and death
Van Hoevenberg later moved to Alaska. At the time of the 1910 United States Census he was living in Valez Precinct, Alaska, and was employed as a lawyer.[9] He later lived in Sams Valley in Jackson County, Oregon for 27 years, operating a pear orchard and serving as the president of the Oregon State Horticultural Society.[1] The house he built in 1919 in Jackson County has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Henry Van Hoevenberg, Jr. House.[10]
In 1937, he moved to San Francisco and became a labor negotiator. He moved to Seattle in 1939. From 1939 to 1945, he was employed as a labor negotiator by a consortium of salmon cannery owners.[1] In a draft registration card completed in April 1942, Van Hoevenberg indicated that he was employed by the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc.[11]
Van Hoevenberg was married to Jessamine Adele Bushnell in 1915. They had a daughter, Vivian Isabelle. Van Hoevenberg died in 1955 at Oakland, California.[1] >
