WILLIAM R. HOAR This enterprising and capable gentleman is possessed of more than the ordinary pluck and determination since he has, in spite of the severest obstacles, wrought his way to success and showed his ability to overcome.
William R. Hoar was born in Pointe De Bute, Westmoreland County, New Brunswick, Canada, on April 4, 1848, being the son of Archibald and Miranda (Wells) Hoar, natives of the same place. The mother died many years since, but the father lived until 1888. He was a harness maker and owned a shop of his own. William received a common schooling, spent one year in Amherst College and then learned the harness maker's trade from his father, which he followed for three years. Subsequent to that, he went to sea for six years and then learned the tanner's art, operating a plant of his own for three years and in 1879 came to British Columbia and opened a tannery on the Fraser River. In 1884 he sold out and came to Auburn, King County, Washington, where he opened a store, also was postmaster and had a telephone office. This occupied him until 1890, when he sold out and came to Ellensburg, Washington, from which point he prospected and worked on the railroad until 1896. During this time, he had the great misfortune to lose one of his arms, which laid him up for one year. Arising from this bed of suffering and hardship, Mr. Hoar again confronted the battles of life and although thus hampered, he bravely set his face for success. In 1898 he came to his present place, in Valley, where he bought land and went to farming and raising stock. He has made an excellent showing here and is on the road to a fitting success.
On January 24, 1876, Mr. Hoar married Miss Mary J., daughter of Burton and Caroline (King) Chappell, natives of Nova Scotia, where they remained until the time of their death. Three children have been born to this union: Herbert C., living in Spokane; William G., also in Spokane; Virgil, attending school in Spokane. Mr. Hoar is a stanch Republican and takes an active part. He is a member of the A. F. & A. M., Lodge No. 60, at Auburn. Mrs. Hoar is a member of the F. U. of America.
