EXPIRES OF HEART FAILURE. GROTON MAN’S DEATH SHOCKS COMMUNITY; FUNERAL ON WEDNESDAY. Groton community was thrown into profound sorrow and shock last Saturday afternoon when it was learned that S.A. Hoy, a prominent farmer and for 25 years identified with the business life of the city, had expired from a heart attack while doing chores on his farm.

east of town. Mr. Hoy was alone at the time, since Mrs. Hoy was in Groton. The body was found by George Van De Brake who went to the Hoy farm to help him with his duties. It was found partially within the barn where he passed away when the fatal attack struck him. Born in.

Ohio. Mr. Hoy was born at Adrian, Ohio, Oct 30, 1865, and came to South Dakota in 1882, settling near LaDelle. He was married November 26, 1902, to Miss Blanche Cadwell, the ceremony taking place at Ellsworth, Kan. Four children were born to this union and all of them are survivors. Mr. Hoy came to Groton in 1912 and acquired a junior partnership in the firm of H. W. Cassels & Company, and this organization flourished for the greater part of twenty-five years, when it was dissolved about two years ago. Then Mr. Hoy went back to his favorite calling -- farming -- and retired to his acres east of town. He also was an extensive owner of Spink county land. Was an Educator, Too. Mr. Hoy came to South Dakota when 17 years of age with his parents, and he continued his education in the schools of Spink county.

In 1887, at the age of 21 years, he began his career as teacher in the public schools of Spink county, proving successful from the start, and continued to follow his profession for thirteen years, at the expiration of which, in 1900, he was elected to the office of superintendent of.

schools of Spink county, and served in this capacity for four years, being re-elected in 1902. His regime as county superintendent resulted in admirable good being accomplished for the cause of education through the confidence he inspired in teachers and hearty co-operation given him by the people in his jurisdiction. At the conclusion of his administration as county superintendent he went into business in Spink county, being one of a partnership of three who engaged in the general mercantile business in Spink county. He was associated with his brother, Charles and a Mr. Moriarity. The deceased successfully managed the business for a number of years. Funeral Wednesday. Mr. Hoy is survived by his wife and four sons in the immediate family, besides several brothers and sisters. The sons are Ed., of Rapid City; Al., of.

Redfield, John, who is serving his second or third hitch in the navy, and Roger of Groton. The brothers are Wiley of North Dakota; Jesse of Hitchcock, S.D., and Harry of Portland, Ore. Four other brothers passed away previously. Three sisters also survive him. They are Mrs. Clara.

Richards of Lebanon, Ore.; Mrs. Ida East and Mrs. Lillian Haskins of Brownsville, Oregon. The funeral was held from the Methodist church, Wednesday afternoon at 2:30. The services were conducted by Rev. L.C. Benson, and the remains were laid to rest in Groton cemetery. ----.
