• Notes

  http://www.archive.org/stream/biographicalrec00compgoog/biographicalrec00compgoog_djvu.txt John Hoar was a well known pioneer of the copper regions. He was born in Cornwall, England, and came first to the Lake Superior mining region in the interests of an English mining company, in 1856. He then tried coa! mining in Pennsylvania for two years, after which he returned to the Northern Peninsula, where he bought mining interests with E. D. Hendricks, and later established a business on the same site in Houghton now occupied by Hodgson Brothers & Hoar, buying Mr. Hendricks' interest and taking his brother, Richard M. Hoar, into partnership. The business, under the firm name of John Hoar & Brother, was uninterrupted until the death of John Hoar in 1884, at the age of 67 years. He was a man of excellent parts, and held a number of village and county offices. The death of his widow took place in 1900, at the age of 83 years. Our subject's brother, John M., died in 1882, leaving a widow and two children. His sister, Mrs. Annie Sturgis, lives in Boston.
