James T. Hoy

 

Of the children of Philip & Talitha Hoy enumerated only 4 are now living, and among

these is James T. Hoy, who was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, April 19, 1829. He was

therefore an infant in tender years when brought by his parents to Hancock county

and installed as one of the occupants of the log cabin in Amanda Township.

Schools in those days were as scarce as other comforts of civilization, and pioneer

children seldom secured much learning in those crude academics of the wilderness.

Young Hoy got his share as he grew up, but depended much more on the carpenter's

trade he had learned than on the book knowledge as a means of making his way in

the world. Many years of the early part of his life were devoted to carpenter work,

which was then much in demand and well remunerated, and from his general work

he finally saved up enough to buy a farm. His first purchase of real estate was made

in 1872 and consisted of one hundred acres, to which he added forty acres more

three years later. Since then his holdings have been greatly improved as well as

increased in value by the erection of suitable buildings and other beautifying processes

which indicate the progressive farmer. In fact everything on or about the Hoy home

was an appearance of prosperity and up-to-datedness that prove better than words

can the presence of a master who understands his business.

In 1856 Mr. Hoy was united in marriage with Euphemia, daughter of Rufus and

Harriet Bennett, old settlers of Hancock county. They arrived from Pennsylvania

in 1835, just one year after the advent of the Hoys, and from that time on the

two families were intimately connected in their social relations. The Bennett's

entered one hundred and twenty acres of land in Jackson township, but

subsequently increased their estate to five hundred acres, which is now in the hands

of their seven surviving children. Mrs. Hoy was born near Wilkesbarre, Luzerne county,

Pennsylvania, January 1, 1833, and was subsequently an infant in arms when her

parents reached their destination in Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Hoy have three children:

Bennett G., Serelda V., and Harriet T. The parents are members of the Methodist

Episcopal church, and Mr. Hoy is connected with the Independent Order of Odd

Fellows. He has served as township trustee, and in 1875 was nominated as a

candidate of county commissioner.
