  Cemetery: http://public.mapper.army.mil/ANC/ANCWeb/PublicWMV/ancWeb.html [[Obituary: Boston Globe Newspaper Jun 24, 1993 Retired Army Brig. Gen. John B. Hoar Jr. died Saturday in his home in Atlanta, apparently of a heart attack. He was 86. Born and raised in Boston, Gen. Hoar was a Boston firefighter before joining the Army at the outset of World War II. In the early days of the war, he commanded a military police detachment that safeguarded overseas radio installations on the South Shore. After the fighting began in North Africa, he organized and supervised a prisoner of war camp for Italian and German detainees in North Africa. He returned to this country with a group of POWs and organized prisoner of war camps throughout New England. After a brief tour of duty as director of security and intelligence at Fort Devens, he served as a military police adviser to the Chinese Nationalist Army. As a major during the Korean War, he oversaw the detainment of prisoners of war. He was promoted to brigadier general as a member of the Massachusetts National Guard and was president of MacArthur Military Academy in Mount Freedom, N.J., until his retirement in 1975. He leaves his wife, Hattie; a daughter, Jeanne Boger of Atlanta; a son, John B. 3d of Manchester, N.H.; a brother, Charles F. of West Roxbury; and a sister, Evelyn Day, of Weymouth. A funeral Mass was held Tuesday in Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Atlanta. Burial will be Monday in Arlington National Cemetery, Washington.
