The Late J.H. Hoagland.
The following is a brief account of the life of Mr. J.H. Hoagland, for many years one of best known citizens of Marion.
James H. Hoagland was born in Bradford county, Pennsylvania, April 4th, about the year 1820, the exact year not being known. He came to Marion in 1865 or 1866 at the close of the war and brought his family with him consisting of his wife and there children, one daughter, having died in Pennsylvania before they left, and one son died in Mexico since their coming west. Two sons survive him, Conductor Charles Hoagland, of Davenport, Ia., and Edward Hoagland, of Toledo, Ohio. August 26th, 1879 his first wife died. In 1892, September 11th he was married to Mrs. Alice O. Ingersoll, who survives him.
Mr. Hoagland, upon his first coming to Marion was a farmer, but when his wife died he sold his farm, moved into town and for many years was carrying on a meat market until he retired permanently from business about eight years ago.
Mr. Hoagland was in early manhood connected with the M.E. church, before he moved from Pennsylvania, but had not identified himself with the church here, though before he became hard of hearing he was a very constant attendant. He was an industrious man, honest, consistent, upright, a man of his word. He had no ill will toward any human soul, nor make a practice of speaking only in a the most guarded way of his fellows. He had malice toward none, and charity for all. Another pioneer has gone, called from labor to reward. The funeral was held from the residence Saturday afternoon and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. T.M. Evans, pastor of the M.E. church. Interment was in Oak Shade cemetery.
