| 20002 | June 2008 Information on this family was kindly contributed by Clark W., great-grandson of Frederick. Email address: clark(at)brittonsd.com June 2008 Email from Merry Bird ( Thrushway(at)aol.com ) FREDERICK AARON STILES Frederick Aaron Stiles (1875-1945) was the son of Sylvester E. Stiles (1847-1890) and Susan E. Chapin (1858-1902). Fred, as he was known, came from River Falls, Wisconsin with his parents to Cass Co., Dakota Territory about 1880. About I883 the Stiles and Chapin families came to Marshall Co., locating in White Twp. on sections 16 and 17. Mr. Stiles grew up on the farm, and when a young man, came to Britton and was employed as a barber in the Brown Barber Shop. He saved his earnings and invested in sheep. He soon left the barber trade to engage in the draying business with his brother, Albert C. Stiles. After Albert's death in 1900, Fred sold the dray business and purchased the A. Lawrence Hardware store, together with Charles Kenney. Later he sold the business to George G. Baker, after which he engaged in the banking business as president of the Farmers and Merchants Bank. Following the closing of the bank in the early 1930's, he started a grocery business, using a truck and going through the countryside selling groceries and taking eggs and cream on trade. He always gave out candies to the children along the route. The grocery business grew, and he later established a store in Britton. On May 12. 1908 he married Clara Adele Goebel, who died Sept. 7. 1909 following the birth of their daughter, Clara Mabel. After his wife's death, his only sister, Mabel Claire (1882-1939) kept house for him. Fred was a member of the local Masonic bodies, being a 32 degree Mason, and a member of the Aberdeen Scottish Rite Bodies. He was also a member of the Britton Methodist Church. He served several years as mayor of Britton. All deceased members of the family are buried in the Britton Cemetery. Clara Mabel (1909- ) was reared by her grandparents, Henry and Charlotte Goebel, living most of her early years in St. Paul, Minnesota. She learned the arts of sewing, knitting, crocheting and tatting from her grandmother. She started piano lessons at the age of four. After graduating from public grade school, she attended Oak Hall, a private school for girls. Clara worked at Oak Hall after graduation as a secretary and teacher assistant in the primary grades. While attending the University of Minnesota she worked at the St. Paul Pubic Library. She was a member of the Merriam Park Presbyterian Church, and taught Sunday School. In 1930 she married Moritz Edward Wismer and moved to Britton, South Dakota. Compiled by Clara Stiles- Wismer-Neff. 1910 Census - Britton, 3rd Ward, Marshall Co, South Dakota Frederick A.

H. HOAR. In the mental attributes of the district attorney of Merced county may be noted the influences of heredity. Members of the Hoar family have always displayed intellectual gifts of a superior order and have possessed a culture fre- quently observed among descendants of the colon- ial residents of New England. To a striking de- gree his father, Rev. Samuel Everett Hoar, ex- emplified these traits and mental attainments, and, had his physical strength equaled his intellectual acumen, his would have been a life of rare use- fulness and success. However, notwithstanding the handicap of ill-health, he accomplished much in the brief period that destiny spared him to fam- ily and friends. Born near Boston, he was a cousin of the late United States Senator Hoar, who is recognized as one of the most distinguished and conservative statesmen in our nation. As a boy his acuteness of perception, fine mind and re- ligious temperament led him to prepare himself for the ministry, and after having graduated in belles-lettres at Dartmouth College he was or- dained as a Presbyterian minister. A constitu- tion none too robust became impaired through overwork in the discharge of his ministerial duties, and he came to the Pacific coast in the hope that the genial climate might prove bene- ficial, but after preaching for a short time he was obliged to seek another occupation. He then opened a successful mercantile business in San Francisco, which he carried on for some time, meanwhile suffering: loss by fire, but rebuilding and continuing; in business. Some years later he sold out, and after a few vears spent in farm- ing in Kern county, went to Arizona for his health, but the change failed to benefit him and he died in Tucson when the subject of this sketch was nine years old. After coming to California Rev. Samuel Ever- ett Hoar married Martha Jane Price, who was born in Fort Smith. Ark., and accompanied her parents across the plains with ox-teams during the '50s, settling among the pioneers of Placer county. After the death, of Mr. Hoar she was again married, becoming the wife of Edward Jackman, a leading and successful attorney of Merced. Mr. Jackman was born and reared in England and received exceptional advantages as a law student in London, but was led to seek his fortune in the mines of California in 1849, com- ing from England via Cape Horn to San Fran- cisco and working in mines in this state and the south of Oregon. Success, however, failed to re- ward his persistent efforts, and he then returned to- the law, gaining admission to the bar of Cali- fornia and engaging in practice at San Rafael. From there he removed to Merced and conducted a large general practice until his death about 1894. Since then his widow has made her home in San Francisco. The eldest of three children, E. H. Hoar was horn in San Francisco, December 3', 1871, and at the age of eleven years accompanied his mother to Merced, where he- was a student in the gram- mar and high schools. Later he took a commer- cial course in Heald's Business College at San Francisco. In 1894 he received an appointment as official reporter of the superior court of Merced county and continued to fill this responsible posi- tion until 1902, when he resigned to accept the nomination for district attorney. During the years of his service as reporter he had devoted all of his leisure hours to the study of law and had been admitted to practice before the supreme court in 1896. Having gained a wide acquaint- ance and many warm friends during the period of his service as reporter, he proved an admirable candidate for the office of district attorney, to which he was nominated in 1902 by the Demo- cratic part His election with a majority of six hundred and fifty is a striking proof of his popularity among the people, and the efficient manner in which he discharges every duty as district attorney justifies his selection for the post. The marriage of Mr. Hoar united him with Jane Elizabeth Berriman, who was born at Grass Valley, Nevada county, this state, and is a grad- uate of the schools of that county. Her father, Nicholas Berriman, a native of England, came to California at the time of the discovery of gold and was one of the early miners in Nevada coun- ty. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Hoar consists of three sons, Fred Emerson, Lawrence Bradley and George Everett. Fraternally Mr. Hoar is connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Woodmen of the World, and is a member of Yosemite Parlor No. 24, N. S. G. W., of which he is past president. Through his serv- ice on the board of trustees, he has been active in the work of the Merced Methodist Episcopal Church. It is often said that every man has his hobby, and if Mr. Hoar cannot be classed among the exceptions to this rule, he would probably acknowledge having a special fondness for the study of psychology. When at leisure from pro- fessional and official work he enjoys spending a few hours in the study of this science, to the in- telligent mastery of which he is admirably quali- fied by reason of his keenness of perception and breadth of intellect. | Hoar, Elijah (I2246)

Hoar (1875- ?), Okemah, OK as it appears in "History and Geneology of the Families of Hoare and Hoar" written by Edwin C. Houston there is no correction of grammar or spelling to this letter from that book Dear Brother: To go back fifty two years to the day of the opening of the Cherokee Strip is a long way. But, there are a few things that stand out, never to be forgotten, as to the day of September 16, 1893. There are only three that survive today, Uncle Conda Eakin, Challey Nelson and myself. Our family and the men that made the "run" together were living near Towanda, Kansas. Those in the group were: W.C. Nelson and his sons, George C., H.C. (Tobe), and Chalmers who was about eighteen years old. Also Uncle Conda, A.B. Eakin and an old and typical Kentucky Colonel, Mr. Woolridge (he drove a fine filly and buckboard), and lastly my father, I.S. Hoar and myself (I being the age of sixteen years). We left home about September 5, 1893. There were four wagons and the buckboard in our outfit. Our first stop was at Arkansas City, Kansas, and it was here that we were informed that we could not drive across the "Strip" as the army had cleared it of all prospective homesteaders. Finally we loaded our outfit on a freight train to be shipped to the south side where we wanted to start the "run". It was at Arkansas City where we first saw "running water" in a building for domestic use. There were toilets and lavatories there at the Santa Fe Depot. It was there that we all washed an cleaned after the loading of our outfit onto the freight car. After unloading and putting our wagons together at Orlando, Oklahoma, we went to Hennessey, where we were starting the "run". We were all required to register here. On arrival at Hennessey, or rather two miles north on the border between Old Oklahoma and the Cherokee Strip, we found thousands of people waiting to register for the race. It was a very hot, dusty and windy day and this kind of weather lasted for several days. It took a few days to register. People were required to stay in line, each waiting his turn (they all stayed in). Finally all our folks were registered. After studying the maps for a long time and after a lengthy discussion it was decided to go to a point know as "The Three Cottonwoods", about seven miles west of Hennessey, to start the race. We arrived there on September 14, 1893 and made camp. At twelve noon on September 16th, everybody being in his selected place, the wild race started at the firing a gun. The Colonel, with the filly and the buckboard, Father and "Old Dan" (a Morgan gelding who lived for many years and did much to help father develop and establish a home on NE 10-23-8). The rest of our boys followed on their horses with hundreds of others, horseback, front wheels of wagons, buggies, springwagons, and all sorts of vehicles. Instructions to Challey Nelson and myself were to stop and make camp at the first creek we came to on the Old Cantonment Trail we were to follow. We each had two wagons and extra horses, and the chuck wagon outfit. Each man carried only a light lunch, a stake, and a hammer or a hand axe. As soon as the trail ahead was cleared, we were on our way. The loads were heavy and the trail was sandy and not too good to travel at a very rapid speed. Early in the afternoon we arrived at Elm Creek which was located south of where Lahoma now stands. This was a blind creek and was not shown on the map, and how were we to know that we should have gone about four miles, which would have placed us two miles east of Lahoma at the crossing of Turkey Creek. After making camp we found there was no water available for the horses so we explored the country and then dug a well in the creek bed (which later proved to be in the middle of the section line). No sooner had we struck water when men came with buckets and horses to the well and we poor boys almost had to fight to get water for our own thirsty horses. About midnight Uncle Conda, Eck and Tobe Nelson found us. The next morning at daylight we started for our claims that they had for us, north of what is now Carrier, Oklahoma. All remained on their claims with the exception of Colonel Woolridge. He drove the filly and the buckboard through the finest land in Oklahoma, through Garfield, Grant, and Kay Counties to Arkansas City where we had started. He said "he did not see a good corn (cawn) farm in the Cherokee Strip". As we were crossing the flats north of Drummond someone called out "a deer". Soon Tobe Nelson was at the scene with his 45-70 rifle and just as the sun came into view he fired. No meat, we soon discovered the deer was a stray mule. There were no roads or trails so it was difficult to locate where we were to camp. Fifteen miles on we came northeast to the site of Enid, a tent town, then followed a fence row to our camp. It was located about one-half mile northeast of where our house now stands, near the Barnard home now. We arrived about noon with food for the almost starved men, and were they glad to see us. There were lots of antelope in the country. They were frightened by the excitement and we saw many herds. On Monday afternoon as we were all around the camp a herd was sighted as soming our way. Five of us mounted our horses. Armed with a shot gun I mounted "Pet", my favorite Indian Pony. The chase was on, I cut off a buck and still remember that my hand was on the trigger and I was in good shooting distance of the buck. If I didn't get him with the first shot I woud try again, then something happened, my pony hit a buffalo wallow and threw me. Several hours later I regained consciousness in camp where they had carried me. Again, no meat! The next spring, however, I did shoot an antelope on the homestead. At this time food was limited to coffee, hot bread, salt pork, and sometimes beans. All food was cooked on a sheetiron stove. How well I remember our first good meal consisting of coffee and praire chicken. It was several days later (after the opening day) as we were waiting to file on the homestead, that Tobe and Challey Nelson, Uncle Conda, Eck and I decided to go to the Glass Mountains about fifty miles west to hunt for deer and other big game in that section. About noon on the day we left camp we found some grass that had not been burned and there we killed nine praire chickens. Immediately we made a camp and dressed the chickens and put them in a pot of water, boiled them, then put some flour in for gravy. We made coffee, what a feed, meat this time! When we returned from the hunting trip we were informed that the men couldn't file until later, so we all returned to Kansas. Some weeks later father returned to Enid and file his claim. On his return (to Kansas) I remember that a neighbor asked him what he thought of Oklahoma. He replied, "My claim, someday, will be worth at least two thousand dollars." He surely was an optimist, for twenty four years ago he sold the farm for nineteen thousand dollars. On March 1, 1894 the family with all their earthly possessions moved onto the claim, with the exception of mother, who was ill, and the youngest child Verne who came latter, making a family with eight children. After arriving on the claim I went with father to buy some furniture and some lumber for a house. We drove with two wagons. There weren't any roads or trails part of the way. After father had made all his purchases we met an old neighbord, Frank Green who was a carpenter. Father hired him for a dollar a day to build out house. Soon afterwards we started for home. Darkness came upon us before we were in sight of our tent and we missed it, going on a quarter of a mile north. Father, who was walking beside the wagon to keep warm, stumbled and fell over a pile of sod. He made some pertinent remarks about a fellow who would pile sod up in such a way. (Next morning we discovered the spot where father fell was where he himself had piled the dirt and stuck his stake on that memorable day, September 16, 1893). We drove on west about two miles getting into sand hills and finding that we were lost. We made camp and since it was very cold we unloaded the stove. We only had one light quilt so I got in between father and Mr. Green, sleeping until daylight. A rooster crowed and father said, "That's my rooster crowing." They got me up and there was home two miles away. Sister Susie was the homemaker until mother came and that night we were lost the brave little girl burned papers (there was no oil) hoping to light our way home. After paying for the materials and other things bought the previous day father had thirty five dollars left. Pioneers and heroes - - surely father was both.

Hoard, 163d Brigade, 307 Field Artillery has written the following letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Hoard. 7 Forest Park, from France where he la confined at the Provisional base hospi ?Wat His fetter contains interesting dssoriptlons of French towns after the Invasion of the Germans. Dear Mother aad Father:'97 - today the weather Is like that of a fall day IB the states, cold and gloomy but ao snow, guess Its going to he a green Christmas and a blue one too. Sunday was a nice day tho. And feeling fairly good, visited La Oharite, a small city not far from the hospital, it Is a very pretty place, but like all French cities Is far behind our cities. Almost la the center of the buslnass section stands a huge church, its exterior plainly chows its age which must be at least several hundored years. The interior of these place* of worship Is beautiful beyond comparison. Lumber here la very scarce, aad expeaslve. I don't remember of ever seeing a French residence or building mad* entirely of wood everything is stone or brick. It has been a great kelp to France in many ways too during the war for If her buildings had been made of wood, half of Fraace would be In ashes by now. It has certanly had eaougir as it Is. About two months ago our reglmeat ebaagad from one section of the front to smother, this trip was by alght traveling we marched tartfng at t ve p. m. aad the aeat moralng at ivs. el the time 1 was se tired aad 1 dldn t pay the to Iks tat.*, we bat the towns and villages were al pitiful sight. Town after town wt pasted thru of which nothing wai left but a few walls. One plao where we stopped to rest a few mln utes I shall never forget. It hat been a village of perhaps fifu* thousand population but every bull ding hi ths place had been struck hi great shells, leaving nothing bu piles of stone. Near the center ?C the ruins were what had once beei a magnificent cathedral, its grea walls were now laying In pile*, bin by aome miracle the tall steeple wat still standing, on Its peak was a hug?C gold colored rross which seemed ti shine In the moonlight. Perhaps ii was imagination but it impressed m?C very mach. Well I suppose you are wonderlaj when I am coming home, fact Is I'm wondering the same thing myself It seems that I am rather unlucky foi my regiment was getting ready U leave for the states when I was takes sick, at that time 1 thought I wool* only be sick a week or two but I WM mistaken and I guess the regimenl has left France for home. But 1 fee) sure that I'll be with you again within two months. Hoping this finds you well.1 remain Your io\\iug SOB, Frank | Hoard, Frank (I75958)
