• Notes

  http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jtenlen/jhoar.txt Boswell, H. James. American Blue Book Western Washington. Seattle, Lowman and Hanford Co., 1922. p. 111. JUDGE J. W. HOAR is one of the justices of the Peace of King County, and a man who is highly regarded by the bar for the good judgment he exercises in the handling of matters passing through his court. Judge Hoar is a native son of Iowa where he was born in 1883. He received his academic training in the public schools, and following this, he entered the University of Nebraska. From this institution he graduated as a member of the class of 1905, taking the A. B. degree. Two years later Judge Hoar took the LL. B. degree from the same college. It was in 1907 that he located in Seattle, engaging in the practice of his profession. in 1920 he was named Justice of the Peace, his tenure of office expiring in 1923. I doubt very much if there is a more popular man on the bench of the lower court in the entire state. Since Judge Hoar went on the bench not a few difficult and complex matters have come before him for attention, and he always acted with promptness. Judge Hoar strongly disapproves of any effort in court that will result in confusion. He will not permit the introduction of technicalities for the purpose of obscuring the justice of any matter on trial, and in this policy he is strongly sustained by members of the bar. In 1917 Judge Hoar married Miss Lucy Chandler, and the couple have one child, a girl eighteen months of age. He is a member of the Masons and the Seattle bar association. Judge Hoar served on the Mexican border as a member of the National Guard during the Mexican controversy, and in the recent World was went overseas with the Forty-First Division in 1917, as a first lieutenant. He was in service 29 months. Submitted by: Judy Bivens Obituary with photo: Date: 1968-08-19 Paper: Seattle Daily Times
