Death of Mr. J. J. Hoag
At 4 o'clock Monday morning, May 17, 1909, occurred the death of Mr. J. J. Hoag, after an illness of a few weeks. Mr. Hoag was born September 16, 1836 and was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Hoag, who lived on a farm in Marion county, near the town of Niles, Ohio. The boyhood days of Mr. Hoag were spent amid the primitive scenes of frontier life, dividing his time between his labors on the farm and attending district school. He finished his education a Notre Dame college, South Bend, Indiana. Upon his return home, Mr. Hoag assisted in the work on his father's farm until 1860, when he bought for himself a small tract of land and thereafter successfully engaged in agricultural pursuits until he and his father moved to Iowa in 1865, settling in Manchester. He and a brother, Egbert Hoag, took charge of the grist-mill which their father had erected and to the business of milling they gave their undivided attention for twelve years. In 1878, Mr. Hoag sold his interest in the mill to his brother, engaging his time since then in looking after his real estate, and other property interests. Mr. Hoag avoided the appearance of a self-seeker and was an apostle of no special creed, but employed his talents in fields where they found their best play, and lived his life profitably and pleasantly discharging his every duty as a citizen, a friend and neighbor.
He was united in marriage with Miss Sarah J. Belknap, May 10, 1868, the wedding being field in the residence which has been their home for so many years. Miss Belknap was at the time of her marriage organist at the First Congregational church. Three children were born; Dr. Harry Martin Hoag of Garner, Joseph Belknap Hoag of Monticello, and William Francis Hoag of this city, who, with Mrs. Hoag and two sisters, Mrs. Emeline Burbridge and Mrs. M. I .B. Richmond of this city, survive him.
Mr. Hoag was affiliated with the Democrat party,being a staunch supporter of its principles and methods. He was a member of Manchester lodge, No. 165, A.F.& A.M., having always given the fraternity his zealous support and taking considerable interest in its broad charities and benevolent purposes.
Mr. Hoag was for many years a representative of that large class of enterprising business and professional men who began to make Manchester their home and the scene of their earlier activities during the sixties. He identified himself as a loyal supporter of the town, and with his business associates furnished the capital which was used in making the county what it is today and in giving it prestige and importance. He was a quiet, unobtrusive man, mingling with his friends and business associates without entanglements of embarrassments of any kind. His successful management of his business affairs enabled him to live the latter years of his life comfortably, and he leaves an estate which includes considerable property.
His death comes as a loss, not only to his family, but to those who knew him best and the many people who have been the recipients of his kindness and charily.
