Harry H. Hoyman was a World War I veteran, serving in Russia with the 8th U. S. Infantry as Private 1st Class in the Supply Company. He took his camera along and I have scanned some of the photos from his photo album which is in the collection of the Stephenson County Historical Museum, Freeport, Illinois. He wrote his account of his time spent in Russia for the History of Stephenson County 1970, and I have transcribed it for the Great War Society's website: http://www.worldwar1.com/dbc/hoyman.htm

On June 13, 2022 I obtained his obituary from the Freeport Public Library. I have attached it here.

I have placed a memorial to Harry Hoyman and his service in World War I on the Walk of Honor at the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. A photo of his memorial stone, along with some of the others in section 7L, is in this same Findagrave listing.

Refer to my listing for his wife Doris K. Hoyman, also buried in Oakland Cemetery.

Refer to my Ancestry.com tree, "The Horner Family of Carroll County, Illinois (And Nearly Everyone Else)" for more information on the Hoyman family.

Harry was a great guy and an excellent historian who would have wanted to be remembered.
