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.
