Source: Biographical History of La Crosse, Monroe and Juneau Counties, Wisconsin. Chicago: The Lewis Publishing Company. 1892. Pg. 936. PHILETUS HOARD has lived in Monroe county since his early childhood, and from early manhood has been prominently identified with the development of her resources. He was born in Boone county, Illinois, April 25, 1851, a son of Ziba Hoard, a prominent pioneer who came to the county in 1855; he was a native of Ohio, but was a descendant of Pennsylvanians of the German lineage. Ziba Hoard was reared to the life of a farmer in the Buckeye State, and received his education in the primitive log schoolhouse of early days. He was married in Illinois, to Elizabeth Hill, a native of Ohio and a daughter of David Hill. As before stated he came to Monroe county in 1855, and was one of the first settlers; his nearest neighbors were three miles distant; the wolves howled dismally in the swamps, and the surroundings were of the crudest character. During the war he espoused the cause of the Union, and enlisted in the Eighteenth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, Captain Fisk commanding; he participated in the battles of Shiloh and Pittsburg Landing, was taken prisoner and confined in Libby Prison, where he died August 23, 1862, at the age of thirty-five years -- a sacrifice to his country. He left a widow and three children: Philetus and Philena, twins, and May, who died at the age of sixteen years; the widow is now living on the farm. Mr. Hoard was a farmer all his life; politically, he adhered to the principles of the Republican party. He was a man of many sterling traits and was valued for his many merits. Philetus Hoard was a lad of four years when his parents removed to Monroe county, and was left fatherless by the cruel hand of war at the age of eleven years. Realizing the responsibility that devolved upon him, he took a man's place upon the farm, and did his duty with the courage and heroism of a Spartan. He gained his education at the district school near his home. He now owns a farm of 120 acres, well improved; the land is rich and productive, and the buildings are neat and comfortable. Mr. Hoard was married November 24, 1881, to Miss Matilda Hunter, a daughter of Hugh and Maria (Siddons) Hunter, natives of Ireland and England respectively; the mother died at Elgin, Illinois, and the father is a resident of Little Falls township. Mr. and Mrs. Hoard are the parents of two children: Lowell Ray, born August 16, 1882, and Irma May, born October 4, 1891. Mr. Hoard is a warm supporter of the principles of the Republican party; he has represented the people of the township in various local offices, and has always given entire satisfaction. He is progressive in his views, and has won a place among the leading men of the county.
