and trucking to the end of his days. His death occurred in 1892. He
married Rachel Houtz, and they became the parents of five children:
Charles E., Emma (who married Joshua Kelly), John,

CHARLES E. HOY, a merchant of Milton, Northumberland county, is a

Berks and Schuylkill counties.
 

Charles E. Hoy first learned the trade of machinist and

Godcharles (predecessor of the F. A. Godcharles Company). He next worked
for S. J. Shimer's Sons and then for the American Car & Foundry Company
at Milton, from which he changed to the Philadelphia & Reading Railway
Company and finally to the government employ, being engaged as
steamfitter for the war and navy departments.  In 1894 he engaged in the
mercantile business at Milton, which he has since conducted. He is a
thrifty and substantial citizen, has represented his ward one term in
the borough council, and is a creditable member of the community in
every way. He is a member of St. John's Reformed Church of Milton and a
Democrat in political affiliation.
On Jan. 16, 1889, Mr. Hoy married Katie L. Hause, daughter of
