John George Hoy, was born in Brush Valley, Centre Co., Pa., in 1805. He was a farmer by occupation, and spent his entire life in his native county. He was a man widely respected and prominent in the denominational work connected with the German Reform Church, of which he was worthy and influential member. In the fall of 1862 he attended a church conference held in Gettysburg, and after the battle of Antietam, visited the scene of the conflict, and caught the camp-fever, with which he was stricken soon after his arrival at his home, and from which he never rallied. The maiden name of his wife was Susan Zeigler. She was born in Maryland, and when a child removed with her parents to Clinton, Pa., where her father died when she was eleven years old. Mrs. Zeigler subsequently removed with her family to Brush Valley, Pa., and lived there until seventy years of age, and then came to Jo Daviess County, and spent her declining years with her son, Henry C., dying at the venerable age ninety-one years. She was a most estimable woman, and though an invalid the last seventeen years of her life bore her infirmities with patience and cheerfulness, sustained by the religious faith of the Lutheran Church of which she was a devoted member.
To her and her husband were born twelve children, of whom nine grew to maturity, John, George S., Henry C., Margaret, Sarah A., Mary Elizabeth, Susannah, Josiah J., and Emma.
