 Adam Hoy, the father of J. W., was born in Lykens Valley, Dauphin county,
  Pa., June 28, 1838, and came to Cumberland county with his father when
  fourteen years of age. He attended school before he had learned to speak
  English, using the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect, and in his after life found
  much amusement in the attempts he made and the laughable mistakes which his
  ignorance of the English language occasioned.
 

But being a bright lad he could soon talk as fluently as any boy in the
  school. In 1859 he married Sarah Jane Shenk, daughter of David Shenk, of
  Silver Spring township, and the young couple located in that township. Mr.
  Hoy worked by the day for about ten years, when they moved to North Middleton
  township, in 1876, and he bought a fine farm of 117 acres. In 1862 Adam Hoy
  entered Company A, 158th Regiment, at Chambersburg, Pa., and was located in
  North Carolina. After a year of hard service he was mustered out at
  Chambersburg. In 1896 Mr. Hoy removed to Steelton, Dauphin Co., Pa., and was
  employed at the steel works there for four years. In 1900 he came to
  Carlisle, where he is now located, engaged in a prosperous wood business.
 
    Children as follows were born to Mr. and Mrs. Adam Hoy: (1) J. W. is
  mentioned below. (2) Elizabeth died when two and one-half years old. (3)
  David A., of Middlesex township, is engaged in wagon making and blacksmithing.
  (4) Maggie J. of North Middleton township, is the wife of John E. Brawn, Jr.
  (5) Jesse Addison died in infancy., (6) Annie Rebecca, who lives in Steelton,
  is the wife of Wesley Feister. (7) Talbert was killed in the steel plant at
  Steelton. (8) Rosa is living at Philadelphia, wife of George Kriner. (g)
  Sarah Ellen is living at Carlisle, wife of Harry Stringfellow. (10) Samuel A. is at home.

  Hoy was united in marriage with Sarah J. Kutz, a daughter of Joseph and
  Elizabeth (Keihl) Kutz, of North Middleton township, and one child has
 come to this marriage, John Henry, born Jan. 1, 1899, a very bright,
  intelligent child, who promises to grow into a fine lad. In 1895 Mr. Hoy
  bought his father-in-law's farm of 130 acres in North Middleton township, and
  settled upon it, making many improvements upon it as the years have gone by.
