Life's Trials Ended
----------
John Van Hoozen, aged and highly respected resident of Woodstock, passed away at his home on Jackson street, Saturday morning after a lingering illness.
John Van Hoozen was born in Rensselaer County, N.Y., Oct. 23, 1825. He was brought up on his father's farm and received a common school education. He was decendent of a Holland-Dutch family who, during the Colonial period, were among the most prominent people in New York state and assisted in founding New Amsterdam, now the City of New York.
John Van Hoozen, the subject of this sketch, was united in marriage to Catherine Payne, daughter of James and Jane (Van Buren) Payne, of Rensselaer County, New York. The Van Burens were also of an old Colonial Holland-Dutch family, President Martin Van Buren being a cousin of Mrs. Payne's father and being born in the same part of the state.
Mr. and Mrs. Van Hoozen settled on the Van Hoozen homestead, where they lived until 1854, when they moved to Illinois, settling on a farm of 128 acres in Greenwood township. Only a small portion of this farm had previously been cultivated, and Mr. Van Hoozen set about making extensive improvements. He erected substantial farm buildings and converted the uncultivated property into a pleasant home. In 1880 he moved to his father's farm, residing there until 1894 when he purchased the home in Woodstock. Mrs. Van Hoozen died Oct. 26, 1897.
Mr. and Mrs. Van Hoozen were the parents of nine children, two boys and seven girls, namely: Alice J., George I., now of Greenwood, Sarah J., now Mrs. Donnelly of Woodstock, J. Leverette, Emma E., Euretta, now Mrs. Bumsted of Greenwood, Ida and Alida, and Nettie, now Mrs. G.W. Miller of Woodstock. Of this large family, Mrs. Van Hoozen, the wife and mother, and five of the children have already passed on before.
There are twenty-six grand-children and twenty-three great-grand-children, of these nineteen of the grand-children and twenty-one of the great grand-children are still living.
Mr. Van Hoozen was a man highly esteemed by all who knew him. His had been a successful career, the result of constant application to his work and unfaltering industry.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon, Rev. L.D. Beck, pastor of the Presbyterian church, officiating, and burial was made in Greenwood.
