Hoar Family Mausoleum - The Hoar Mausoleum is located within the boundaries of
the Forest Hill Cemetery, near Houghton in Portage Township. The Richard M. Hoar
family was one of Houghton County's most prominent. Richard and his brother John
opened a mercantile business, John Hoar and Brother, in Houghton in 1859, which lasted until 1884 when John died. During the 1860s they had a government contract to build a wagon road between Houghton and Baraga. Richard was involved in several independent enterprises as well. He opened a store at Portage Entry, and carried freight, mail and express mail. He held a contract for building the western end of the Marquette, Houghton, and Ontonagon Railroad, which later became the Duluth, South Shore, and Atlantic Railway. He ran a stagecoach for ten years from L'Anse to Houghton during the winters, while in the summer he ran the steamer Ivanhoe. Richard Hoar held several public offices on the village council, the school board and the Michigan Legislature. He also served as the second president of the village of Houghton. Richard Hoar and his wife, Elizabeth Bailey, had six children. In 1895, he had a family mausoleum constructed in Portage Township's Forest Hill Cemetery. Richard died in 1903; Elizabeth died in 1929. Both are interred in the mausoleum, as well as two of their sons, two daughters, a son-in-law, two granddaughters, and a grandson-in-law.

Obituary: http://www.mfhn.com/houghton/rosscoll/rossobits/rossobits-h.txt
Publication: Mining Gazette Date: November 14, 1929 Decedent: MRS. RICHARD M. HOAR Headline: MRS. RICHARD M. HOAR, PIONEER RESIDENT OF HOUGHTON, IS CALLED Death Comes Suddenly to Her Thursday Morning. Mrs. Richard M. Hoar, perhaps the oldest pioneer resident of Houghton, died at her home on Montezuma street at 8:30 yesterday morning. The mother of seven children, four survive her; Clarence M. Hoar of Houghton, with whom she made her home, Mrs. L. M. Hardenburgh of Ironwood, Mich, Mrs. Elton W. Walker, of Beverly Hills, California and Frederick W. Hoar of Globe, Arizona. They, and a brother, Samuel W. Bailey, of Manitowac, Wisconsin, rematin to cherish the memory of the most remarkable little woman who has ever entered their lives. Of the generation of pioneers of the Copper Country, which, like the Arabs, have folded their tents and silently stolen away, Mrs. Hoar Possessed all the sterling qualities of that generation. Vicissitudes were many in her long life, but she met them with courage, and the hope, born of faith, that the morrow would be better than today, and this faith sustained her as she quietly passed away. She was a familiar figure in the streets of Houghton, especially to those of the older residents, because up until a few days before her death, she did her own shopping. Independent of spirit and in the full possession of all her faculties, she maintained a keen interest of others and in the affairs of the day. If shadows were there, she did not live in the shadows, but in the sunlight of good cheer, and so, remained young, even at the advanced age of 93, exemplifying the thought that nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; that they grow old by deserting their ideals; that while years may wrinkle their skin, to give up enthusiasm, wrinkles the soul. And so she clung to her ideals; kept the embers of her enthusiasm alive and glowing. The late Mrs. Hoar was born in the town of North Walshan, Norfolk, England, April 3,1836, and coming to Canada in her twenty-second year, was married to Richard M. Hoar at Toronto on August 30, 1858. Mr. Hoar was for many years engaged in merchandising and was Houghton's leading merchant. The tales of hidden mineral wealth in the new Copper Country of Michigan, was the lure that brought the young couple to Houghton in the spirit of 1859. It is related that the trip from Toronto took 21 days. They landed at Portage Entry, where Mr. Hoard procured a small boat, and rowed......

"Be very careful not to attribute members of this family to Jacob Hore b.1787 (son of William) who is a first cousin, but is incorrectly listed as our ancestor on many pedigrees. "
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not merge with Jacob Hore b. Aug 1787. He was the son of William.
Jacob Hore b.Aug 1788 (son of John) married Gertrude Martyn.
Jacob Hore b.Aug 1787(son of William) did NOT marry Gertrude Martyn. Do not confuse the tree by merging them.
John Hore b.1763 married Elizabeth Nicholls, not Jane Tregonnan. John Hore b.1788 married Jane Tregonnan. Attached are photos of the actual baptism and marriage records.
My [unknown manager of this geni website] mother and uncle accidentally entered the wrong Jacob in the Hoar Mausoleum family tree and now many Hoar trees carry forward the error. It is an easy error because they have the same name and similar birth dates and locations.
The proof of who was grouped as a family is found in the aggregate of a variety of English census and parish records. The census records state who lived with whom in Cornwall as a family to reveal to us the correct family associations.
