Commemorative Biographical Record
J. H. Beers, 1898
HEZEKIAH K. HOY, who is prominently identified with the agricultural
interests of Benner township, Centre county, was born in 1835, a son of
John and Susannah (Hoy) Hoy, who came from Union county, Pennsylvania,
The boyhood and youth of our subject were passed after the manner of
most farmers' sons, he aiding in the labors of the fields and attending
the district schools when his services were not needed at home. He
chose farming as his life occupation, and is now the owner of the old
homestead, a tract of 138 acres. The well tilled fields and neat
appearance of the place shows his careful supervision, and the neat and
commodious buildings are models of convenience. In 1860 he married
Miss Mary E. Fishburn, and eight children have come to bless their
union, namely: Ettie, born in 1861, is the wife of Dr. Austin Shuey, of
Prospect, Ohio; Anna M. is the wife of Grant Pifer, a clerk in a
railroad office in Wilkinsburg, Allegheny Co., Penn.; Catharine and
Harry (twins), the former being the wife of Rev. W. J. Wagner of Muncy,
Lycoming Co., Penn., while the latter married Sally Garbrick; Jacob and
Minerva (twins) are next in order of birth; Ursinus H. married Blanche
Dale and lives in Benner township, Centre county;
and Caroline is at home.
Politically Mr. Hoy has ever been an ardent supporter of the
principles of the Democratic party and favors the free coinage of
silver. He is a valued citizen of the community, has been an active
agent in promoting the various schemes for its advancement, and has
taken a conspicuous part in the administration of public affairs. He
is an earnest and useful member of the Reformed Church, and upright and
honorable in all the relations of life.
