Virginia Jaycox, daughter of Isaiah and Mary Van Tassel Jaycox, was born Dec. 17, 1863 at Nelsonville, N.Y. At the age of five she came with her parents and older brother and sister to Webster City, Iowa, later moving with her family to a farm near Blairsburg, Ia. On April 15 1891, she was united in marriage to Charles W. Hoag of Blairsburg.

Four children were born to this union: James I., Mary C., Myra, and Edna. She was a charter member of the Congregational church of Blairsburg and in later years a member of the Methodist church in Dows, Iowa. She was a devoted wife and mother, and until her death at the age of 94 years, 1 month and 5 days was keenly interested in world and local affairs.
