General Notes: Husband - Albert L. Hoy
He was reared and educated in Clarion County, Pennsylvania. He learned the cabinet maker's trade at New Bethlehem, and then went to Oil City, Venango County, where he engaged for a time in building tanks, and in undertaking, later becoming a contractor and builder there. In 1867 he went to Brookville, Jefferson County, and the following year became interested in a planing-mill and furniture establishment at Brockwayville, Jefferson County, where he remained until 1877. Settling at Du Bois, Clearfield County, in that year, he engaged in a furniture and undertaking business, purchasing a lot on Booth street (later Long avenue), and building a three-story frame house for a store and dwelling. This contained a large stock when the conflagration of 1888 destroyed the town, but in spite of his losses Mr. Hoy continued his business, and in 1893 built a two-story brick building, 20x60, to accommodate his trade. He now makes a specialty of undertaking, keeping two hearses, and doing embalming by the most scientific methods.
He voted the Prohibition ticket, and always took a deep interest in public affairs-national and local. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and a member of Garfield Lodge No, 559, F. & A. M., and was one of the organizers of the Knights of Pythias and Independent Order of Odd Fellows in Du Bois.
By his first marriage there were seven children, of whom four were living in 1898.
By his third marriage there were eleven children, six of whom were living in 1898.
