WILLIAM JOHN HOAR,
Son of Joseph and Mary Ann (McNabb) Hoar, was born
Feb. 11, 1845, in Greenwood (now Belleville), Pa. He made a
public confession of his faith in the Presbyterian church of
Lower Tuscarora, at the age of seventeen. His preparatory
studies were pursued at the Tuscarora Academy, Academia, Pa.,
and he graduated from Princeton University in 1867. Entering
the Seminary in the fall of the same year, he took the full
three years' course there, graduating in 1870. He then spent a
year in study at Union Seminary, New York City. He was
licensed by the Presbytery of Jersey City, April 18, 1871, and
served the churches of Willmar and Diamond Lake, Minn., as
stated supply from 1871 to 1872; he was ordained by the
Presbytery of St. Paul, Feb. 14, 1872; he engaged in home
missionary work at Port Townsend, Wash., from 1873 to 1874.
He was pastor of the Cedar Grove church, with his residence
at East Earl, Pa., from Nov. 9, 1875, to Nov. 18. 1912. At this
time he was honorably retired, and resided at Lancaster, Pa.,
until his death there, July 21, 1930, of the infirmities of age,
in his 86th year. He was buried in Greenwood Cemetery at
Lancaster, Pa.
He was married Oct. 8, 1879, at Elk-View, Chester County,
Pa., to Elizabeth Eckert Hodgson, who died, April 26, 1928.
One son and one daughter survive him.
