Henry Hoy, was reared and educated in his native county, acquiring a substantial education in the district schools; and, on the home farm, becoming thoroughly familiar with the genera] principles of tilling the soil. During the late Civil War, he enlisted and was sworn in as a member of the Pennsylvania State Militia, but there being no further need of troops, was not called to the front.
The most important event in the life of Mr. Hoy took place Feb. 9, 1865, on which date he was united in marriage to Miss Lucinda M. Betts. She was born Oct. 25, 1843, in Lycoming County, Pa., and lived under the parental roof until her marriage. Her parents, Samuel and Hester (Morrison) Betts, subsequently removed to Stephenson County. After their marriage Henry and his wife remained in their native State a few years, then decided to establish themselves in Illinois where they could enjoy the numerous advantages offered by the Prairie State to a farmer. Accordingly, in 1869, they came to Jo Daviess County, and being pleased with the location and future possibilities of Berreman Township, Mr. Hoy bought 115 acres of land on section 9, fifty-five acres of which were under cultivation, and the place was further improved by a good house and grannary. Henry set to work in a practical, intelligent manner to further improve his homestead, and by his industry, skill, and careful attention to the minor details of his business has made his farm pay well for the time and money expended upon it. He has added eighty-two acres more to his first purchase, so that his homestead includes 197 acres of arable land, all of which is under cultivation, and he erected a conveniently arranged barn. He carried on general farming on an extensive scale, having good herds of Short-horn cattle, Poland-China hogs, and raising a fine grade of horses for the city market. As a man he is always honest and upright in his dealings with others, and as a citizen heartily cooperates in any movement for the advancement of township or county. Both he and his excellent wife have won for themselves the respect of the community by their diligence, geniality, and numerous acts of kindness. Their religious faith is that of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which they were active members; Mr. Hoy having been Class-Leader and Steward. Socially, Henry was a Master Mason, and in politics was a good Democrat, earnestly advocating tile principles of that party.
The union of Mr. and Mrs. Hoy has been blessed by the birth of nine children: Cora Etta, Josiah J. Samuel E., Hattie L., William George, Isaac Pierce, Cyrus Elliot, James Nelson, Herbert Albert.
