CHARLES HOAR & AMERICA ROARK HOAR
(Great Grandparents of Clair Mercier Talyai)
Education was very important to the Hoar family. Charles attended rural school in Ash Rock Township, Rooks County, Kansas. He continued his education and graduated from Rooks County High School in 1886. After high school, he entered the Stockton Academy, which was an extension of the Preparatory Department of Washburn College at Topeka, Kansas. In 1892, Charles earned a degree in business from Salina Normal University, Salina, Kansas.
Charles and America were married at the home of her parents, six miles north of Alton, Osborne, Kansas, on August 19, 1893. The marriage was performed by E. R. Baber, a minister for the United Brethren Church. After the marriage, he taught at Spring Branch school, District 58 of the Ash Rock Township. After one year, he and America moved to Plainville, Rooks, Kansas, where he taught for several years in District 77. While in Plainville, Kansas Charles and America welcomed their first four children; Edith, Charles, Clara and Hazel. Their last two daughters, Edna and Zola, were born in Portis, Osborne County, Kansas.
In 1912 Charles and America moved their family to Kiowa County, Colorado. According to family "gossip" America always wanted to live on a farm and raise chickens, while Charles was happy being a school teacher. So west the family went! America's sister, Effie Ann and her husband Milton Moyer, moved with the Hoar family to Kiowa County.
Charles filed under the Homestead Act for property located 15 miles southeast of Sheridan Lake, in what is called McComas and Pleasant Hill School District. He taught at Pleasant Hill School. Life had been very difficult on the prairies of Kiowa County. After four or five years the family decided to make another move. The town of New Raymer was their new destination. Charles owned and operated a filling station on Main Street in New Raymer, Colorado. Charles served as Justice of the Peace and taught part time in the school. On February 19, 1917, the town voted to incorporate and on April 4, the first city election was held. The town had a population of 2000 and business was thriving. Charles' garage and Ford dealership was one of three such businesses in town.
By 1920 New Raymer started to decline. Charles' garage and car dealership was not profitable and he and America once again decided to move. In the early 1920's they moved to the Hartman and Bristol area of Prowers County, Colorado. Charles returned to teaching and farming. It was here in Hartman, that their daughter, Clara Myrtle married Russell McCracken.
Charles made tire swings for his grandchildren and hung them from the cottonwood trees in the front yard. He would always come up with some new idea to entertain the grandchildren. But, most of all, he enjoyed reading and telling them stories.
Charles was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1939 and died at his home on March 7, 1948, at the age of 79. He was of medium build, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and had brown hair and was a very quiet man. He was happiest when he could spend his time reading. The Stockton, Kansas, newspaper stated in an article written at the time of his death that "Many of the older residents of this county remember Mr. Hoar as a prominent school teacher. He pioneered doubly in the fields of education and farming. He taught school for several years in Rooks County and for 27 years in Colorado."
