BENJAMIN F. HOAR, JR.
In the enumeration of enterprises contributing to the development of Sonoma county it would be difficult to mention any that has lacked the sympathetic support of the honored pioneer, Benjamin F. Hoar, a citizen for many years actively associated with ranching interests and commercial activities, in which he still bears a leading part notwithstanding the fact that his busy life has passed into its twilight. A man of versatile ability, he has found varied avenues for his energies. During the pioneer era of our history he found employment in the mines, Later he sought a livelihood by the development of a ranch and the tilling of the soi.l By trade a carpenter, he has been employed in this occupation at different periods of his life and he has further labored as a plumber and as a surveyor. It is worthy of note that he has been a skilled workman in every occupation engaging his attention and his success, though modest, is none the less commendable and gratifying,

The early days of Benjamin F. Hoar were passed in Maine, in a region whose picturesque lakes and dense pine forests are a delight to the eye in summer, but stem and storm bound in the winter months. Born at Rangeley, Franklin county, April 14, 1838, he remembers well the hardships incident to earning a livelihood from the sterile soil or from the woods as yet untouched by the axe. The rigorous climate and lack of opportunities impelled him to seek a home elsewhere and as early as 1859 he came via the Isthmus of Panama to California, landing at San Francisco in October after a voyage lasting three months. His first employment wads as a miner in the mines at Dutch Flat and he remained there from the time of his arrival in the state until 1863 without any interval of leisure, Upon leaving the mines in 1863 he came to Sonoma county and invested his savings in the purchase of eighty acres from John Peters, Leasing the property, he went to the mines in Nevada county, Cal., and continued there until 1869, when he returned to Sonoma county as a permanent resident, and now lives in Healdsburg,

The marriage of Mr. Hoar was solemnized in 1863 at Dutch Flat, Grass Valley, and united him with Miss Eugenia E. Chichester, who wads born at Pleasant Hill, Iowa, December 2, 1848, being one of four children forming the family of Elias H. Chichester, a native of Holland, born in the year 1830. Five sons and four daughters comprised the family of Mr, and Mrs. Hoar, namely: Edward, Benjamin F., Jr., Charles A., Henry H., John A., Addie E., Mary L., Ina E, and Eugenia E. Charles A. married Emma Hamlin and is the father of a son and daughter, Vernon and Frances. Henry H., a resident of Woodland, this state, married Gertrude Harman, and has a daughter, Zelma. Addie E., Mrs, James McDowell, of Healdsburg, has five children, Albert, Frank, Harry, Archie and Hazel. Mary L. married Joseph Stephen's, a resident of the Sandwich Islands and a prominent worker in the church of the Seventh Day Adventists, They have three daughters, Anna, Mildred and Delphina Stephens. Eugenia is the wife of George Typher, of Healdsburg, and has one son, Buster Brown Typher.

Benjamin F. Hoar, Jr., was born in Grass Valley, Cal., September 21, 1868. When he was a child of one and a half years his parents removed to Cotati, where he was reared, and was a pupil in the Copeland district school. After attaining mature years he farmed for three years on his father's place, after which he became an employe of the Gotati Rancho Company, and has been with this company almost continuously since, and at the present time he is assistant foreman. In 1910 he purchased three and eighty five hundredths acres of land near Cotati, well equipped for the raising of chickens, and this he rents to a tenant.

Ever since Mr. Hoar acquired the right of franchise he has been a consistent supporter of Republican principles and has given allegiance to the men and. measures representative of the party. Of a genial, sociable disposition, he has found identification with lodges a source of pleasure as well as an opportunity to aid in charitable work. The Knights of Pythias at Petaluma number him among their members, as does the Improved Order of Red Men in the same town. As vice grand he has been officially connected with the Eagle Lodge, I. O. O. F., which has a membership of forty eight and has accomplished much for the philanthropic and moral upbuilding of the Immunity. He is an active worker with the Native Sons of the Golden West at Santa Rosa and is heartily in sympathy with the activities of this prominent organization. He is also identified with the order of Moose of Petaluma. In the early days his father brought down many a fine specimen of game, nor was he less successful when wielding the fishing line and thus it came about that he acquired a local reputation for skill in these popular sports.

Charlie Hoar - Library Hero
Kudos to Mr. Hoar - at least someone recognizes the value of books and libraries. From the Oregonian
Sherwood retiree donates books to high school
By Ellen Gilmer, The Oregonian
October 20, 2009, 5:00PM
Seven years ago, Charlie Hoar saw a need in Sherwood schools and took it upon himself to meet it. Almost every week, Hoar visits the high school with a new book in hand and donates it to the school library.
Hoar, 84, is a retired mechanical engineer who lives alone in Sherwood. He's a member of the city's Rotary Club and met Michelle DeBoard, Sherwood High School principal, through the group.
In conversations with DeBoard and other school officials, Hoar picked up that the library couldn't quite afford all the materials it wanted. So, Hoar started bringing brochures into the school for books he thought the library staff might find interesting. Then he would order the books, flip through them on his own and donate them to the schools.
"The schools don't have a large budget for libraries, so the best way to get that fixed is to give the kids an extra source," he said.
DeBoard said she is thrilled every time he brings something in.
"He doesn't expect anything at all from it," she said. "He just wants to give the kids another opportunity."
Some of his donations include National Geographic and Time Life books about history, science and photography, which DeBoard said have increased the library's resource book collection.
"The photography in those books is amazing," she said. "That's a real enhancement."
Hoar is not looking for credit, though. Donating books is his simple way of helping his community, he said.
"The kids get a big kick out of it," he said. "And the teachers have extra stuff that they wouldn't have the opportunity to see. They're using them on a regular basis."

Along about 1815 Nehemiah York arrived in
Warren County from New York State, bringing with him his wife and two young
children. Autumn had already colored the leaves of the great forests of maple
trees in the region of Sugar Grove, then called Brownsville, when York came
traveling through, and over the hills into the Brokenstraw Valley, which must
have been, when this early settler first saw it, a region of virgin beauty
unsurpassed.But it was not in the valley that Nehemiah settled, he had
higher aims, he took up four hundred acres on top of the high hill which bears
his name. And it was only a day or two after the Yorks arrived, that the first
snow storm of the season came riding over the hills, singing a song in the oaks
and beeches. But it was a song of warning to Nehemiah York, he knew there was
not time to build a log cabin, single handed, before real winter set
in.There are giant, gray rocks scattered here and there on the summits
of the York Hill region. Some of them are as large as a house. Looking at one of
these great, square rocks gave Nehemiah an idea. He knew the solidity and
weather-resisting quality of stone, he was a mason by trade and had built more
than one house of stone blocks. The big rock was twenty feet high and much more
than twenty feet in length. At one end of it, standing close, and at right
angles, was another huge stone. Nehemiah saw two sides of a mighty solid house
already built for him. He cut heavy poles and made a lean-to ; a crevice running
up at the rear, between the two big rocks, made a mighty fine stone
chimney.In this pole lean-to, which was warmer, and certainly more solid
than many a frame house, Nehemiah York and his family passed their first winter
on York Hill. The lean-to was on the south side of the great rock and when
winter came in deadly earnest and the north wind blew its bitterest blasts over
the high summits of York Hill, the Yorks knew little of the weather, when they
stayed at home in their primitive abode. It was the most solid house, on two of
its sides, to be found anywhere. The natural chimney, which York, with his stone
mason's experience in building chimneys, had helped out with some additional
stones, drew nicely. With a forest full of deer, partridges and snowshoe
rabbits, York was comfortable and happy. He was part Scotch, and he'd saved
expense on two sides of his house.The next summer Nehemiah built him a
log cabin, which a few years later was burned flat to the ground, with all his
worldly possessions, while the family was down in Youngsville. The cabin stood
close to the present site of the Crippen homestead.The hilltop settler
had brought his stone hammers and trowel with him to Warren County. It was not
long till he was at work on a stone house on the Irvine estate. He helped build
both the old stone dwellings now standing near the Newbold home, and his trowel
placed the mortar in the chinks of the quaint old stone house now standing near
the over-head bridge at Irvine.Nehemiah was the true pioneer type, a
powerful man, capable of a tremendous amount of work. After working all day
laying up stone at Irvine, he would walk to his home on the hilltop and split
wood by the light of the moon. When he had cleared enough land to raise a little
patch of wheat, he carefully threshed his first two bushels of grain with a
flail, put the wheat in a sack and walked through the woods to the mouth of
Sulphur Run. There he loaded his precious wheat in a canoe and paddled down to
Catfish Falls, below Franklin, where there was a small grist mill. He brought
his flour back over the same route, and it is not on record that anybody ever
said of Nehemiah that he didn't earn his bread.Like a great many of
Warren County's hard-handed pioneers, he liked a drink of whiskey, and sometimes
another. They tell how he would stride off to his day's chopping in the woods
with a full quart bottle in each side pocket of his coat. When he came home the
bottles would be empty, but Nehemiah York could still swing his ax all day with
such accuracy he could "cut out the line" hewing a log. Either the whiskey was
not so strong in those days, or the men were stronger. A couple of men cradling
wheat would take a jugful to the field in the morning. At eventide the jug was
dry, and perhaps the cradlers were too, and had to have a little appetizer
before supper.Men drank prodigious quantities of whiskey and performed
unbelievable amounts of work. Their tremendous activity burned up a great deal
of the alcohol, no doubt, and the sweat produced by hard labor accounted for a
great deal more. In a day book of the Kinnear store in Youngsville for the year
1839, are entries, showing that one well known citizen purchased two gallons of
brandy on Monday and another two gallons on Saturday of the same week. Further
entries in the book show that the man was still living, six months
later.For some years Nehemiah York owned the only gun on York Hill. It
was a long-barreled flintlock which had killed countless deer, and possibly a
few Indians. It had a bore like a small cannon, and a kick like a mule. It was a
gun with a come-back, was Nehemiah's flintlock. The fact that Nehemiah owned the
weapon,-he had traded twenty-two thousand shingles for it in Youngsville,-was
well known by other settlers on the hill, who were proud to have a gun in their
midst and looked up to Nehemiah as a protector of the region.One moonlit
night in the fall of the year, John Sedores' pigs suddenly set up a terrific
squealing. Rushing out from their log cabin, the Sedores discovered a huge black
bear in their pig pen. He was plainly visible in the moonlight. He had already
slain a plump young pig and was indulging the bear's well known propensity for
pork. When the excited family came out, the giant bear paid scant attention to
their voices, he just looked up, blinked his eyes and went back to the enjoyment
of his feast.The Sedores had no weapon but an ax and a butcher knife.
There was no competition for an opportunity to go close enough to the big bear,
to use either on him. Bruin showed no disposition at all to run away, he was
going to stay where he was and enjoy his pig.One of the Sedores thought
of Nehemiah York's gun! Perhaps the bear would wait. A boy started on the run
toward York's cabin, a mile through the woods.Before long the boy and
Nehemiah were back, also York's oldest son Amos. They had made good time, and
brought the loaded gun,-but alas, a catastrophe, the piece of flint had dropped
out of the cock. Without the flints-no spark, without the spark-no shooting! And
there was the big bear, still in the pig pen, sitting on his haunches, devouring
the fresh pork. It was a tense situation. The pioneers needed their pigs, also
the skin of the great black bear would make a wonderful bed covering for cold
nights, a fine robe for the ox sled. It would be such an easy shot, if the gun
could only be fired!The pioneers learned resourcefulness early in life.
Every day had its problem, or battle. Nehemiah York conceived an idea. "Run into
the house and fetch me out some hot embers in the tongs," he told his son. Amos
hurriedly brought the glowing coals.Nehemiah put fresh powder in the
pan, took careful aim at the bear and said, "Now touch off the gun with the
embers."Young Amos applied the sparks, the long-barreled flintlock
hissed, hesitated and went off with a roar. When the smoke floated away the bear
lay dead, the first and probably the only bear ever shot with the aid of a pair
of tongs.

Nehemiah York, who has the distinction of giving his
name to York Hill, acquired his possessions in part by taking up 400 acres of State land. He died at his home but a few years ago, leaving " him surviving," according to legal phrase, a number of sons and daughters

The Murder Trial
The trial of George Cassidy, for the murder of William Hoar, was the only one of general interest at Court last week, and lasted buy one day.
District Attorney J. M. Oglevee, for the Commonwealth, was assisted by C. E. Boyle and R. H. Lindsey, Esqs. The counsel for the prisoner were D. Kaine, W. H. Playford, and W. A. McDowell, Esqs.
The facts of the case as elicited upon the trial, seem to be as follows:
George Cassidy and his two brothers, William Hoar and his brother, Jacob, Isaac and Solomon Boyd, Elijah Hawk, Henry Moody, Stephen Stewart, and others from the mountain, had been in Uniontown, April 8th, and all met at the eastern end of town on their way home. It was proposed by some that they should have some whiskey.? George Cassidy furnished the money and he and William Hoar went back to town for the liquor. They drank together a couple of times in town, rejoined their companions, and all drank several times on the road home. The following was the position of the different members of the party a short distance above Ritenour's mill: The two Boyds were ahead; George Cassidy and William Hoar next; Elijah Hawk and William Cassidy about forty yards further behind; Stewart and J. Cassidy, A. Moody and Jacob Hoar, about twenty to thirty yards in the rear. Cassidy and Hoar were heard quarrelling about some old boards which both of them claimed. Presently Cassidy struck Hoar, knocking him down. Jacob Hoar picked up a stone, and ran towards them, when Cassidy again struck William Hoar as he was in the act of raising up, knocking him down a second time. J. Hoar then pulled Cassidy away. Cassidy turned on him, but was taken off by H. Moody or William Cassidy. William Hoar died in ten or fifteen minutes after he had been struck the second time.
Dr. Walker of Uniontown, made examination of the body next day; thinks the blows, producing concussion at the base of the brain, were the cause of his death. Messrs. Hogsett, Ewing, Murphy, McLaughlin and Piper testified to the inoffensive character of the prisoner, and considered him a good laboring hand.
The case, on the part of the prisoner was then submitted to the jury in an able and eloquent address by Mr. Playford, followed on the part of the Commonwealth by Mr. Boyle.
The counsel for the defendant insisted upon the following point, and asked the Court, to charge the jury accordingly.
That the good character of the prisoner is an element which if proved, the jury must take into consideration in making up their estimate of the prisoner, and good character of itself may sometimes generate a doubt, where, without evidence of good character, no doubt would arise in the case from the other evidence.
The jury after being out for about five hours returned a verdict of "guilty of voluntary manslaughter". The prisoner was sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of two years.

I regret I cannot assist you with details of family Hoare, but you mention that your family emigrated to the Bowmanville area of Ontario around 1835. It may not be significant, but around this time a large number of Bible Christians emigrated from the South West of England to that area of Canada. It may be that your ancestors were Bible Christians. In Canada, the United Church Archives at Victoria University, Toronto holds some records concerning the Bible Christians. .
You may find more details of this sect and places where information may be found at:

I hope that this may assist you.

HISTORY OF BOWMANVILLE
Part 13
By Mr. J. B. Fairbairn, P. M.
"Mr. Cole bought the farms near Bethesda, which are still in their possession. They lay in the most charming locality. The view from the homestead is one to conjure with. You can see east, west and south, for miles, including the town of Bowmanville, (a city set on a hill) when lit at night by electricity, it is a sight worth seeing. It must be a perpetual source of pleasure to the dwellers, their having such a grand and ennobling sight of dome Nature's handiwork perpetually under their eyes. He had five sons, Roger, Immanuel, Mathew, John and Thomas. All have passed the bourne from which none returns. One daughter Mrs. Mary Tamblyn is still living at Zion, Hope, she is an aunt of W. W. Tamblyn, M. A Bowmanville. Mrs. Roger Cole and two daughters are living in town. John is on the place where is grandfather first settled and James is east of it. Mrs. Vanstone is a daughter of Matthew. How one thing leads on to others. The stream of influence flows through many channels. Another sister, married a man who I knew when I was a lad, Mr. Henry Hoar Sr. I never forgot my first impression of his nature. Alas, his sojourn on earth was limited, but the effects of his teaching and example are still operating as a power for good in those who followed. Mr. Henry Hoar, Jr., is still in his prime giving his untiring energy for the public wealth. He has devoted a good deal of time to Sabbath school work and in endeavoring to keep up and in crease through the Agricultural organizations the interest of the farmers, trying by this and other means, to educate them in more scientific and useful plans to increase the output of the crops grown from the soil, as well as to teach them how better to improve and add to the value of their stock and collateral products. He is President of the Agricultural Society and Head of the Farmer's Institute. The death of Thomas R. Hoar is still fresh in our memories. When taking him to Toronto, in the hope that something might be done to aid in his recovery, I saw him at the station and without exception, it was the most pathetic sight I ever witnessed. Hard indeed would have been the heart of any human being who could have looked on that sight without it being stirred to it's deepest depths. The body was encased in plaster paris, to all intents dead, while the mental and spiritual gleamed in full intelligence from the eye, I remember Mr. J. C. Vanstone saying to me and he was the last man to speak unadvisedly, that T.R. was one of the finest men he ever knew. How mysterious indeed are the ways of Providence but one thing is sure, that all things must work together for good to such as he was. He left his family a most valuable and lasting heritage in the record of his short fruitful life. His untimely death was caused by an accident: He fell from an apple tree and severed the spine." 
Hoar, Henry Sr. (I12962)
