Biography

John George Hoy, was born in Brush Valley, Centre Co., Pa., in 1805. He was a farmer by occupation, and spent his entire life in his native county. He was a man widely respected and prominent in the denominational work connected with the German Reform Church, of which he was worthy and influential member. In the fall of 1862 he attended a church conference held in Gettysburg, and after the Battle of Antiguan, visited the scene of the conflict, and caught the camp-fever, with which he was stricken soon after his arrival at his home, and from which he never rallied. The maiden name of his wife was Susan Zeigler.

To her and her husband were born twelve children, of whom nine grew to maturity, John Samuel, George S., Henry Cyrus., Margaret, Sarah Ann, Mary Elizabeth, Susannah, Josiah Joseph, and Emma.
