Andrew HOARD
From the Portrait and Biographical Album of Hillsdale Co., MI, 1888, p.230.
Andrew HOARD is a representative farmer and citizen of Hillsdale Co. He is pleasantly located in Ransom Twp. on the 50 acre farm which he has owned and cultivated since his arrival in this State. He was born May 7, 1840, in Burton, Geauga Co., OH. His father, Justus Hoard was born and reared in NY State from whence he moved to Geauga Co. where he rented land and farmed until 1844. In that year he came to Hillsdale Co. and settled in Ransom Twp., purchasing 40 acres of timber land. Seven acres of the tract were cleared and held a log cabin into which the family moved. Over the years Mr. Hoard added 40 more acres to his farm and continued to clear, cultivate and improve the property until the time of his death, Dec. 23, 1876. The wife of Justus Hoard was born Maria McLEAN in PA. She too died at the homestead in Ransom.
The parental family included eight children. They made the journey from Ohio to Mich. with a pair of horses and a wagon in which the household goods and family were carried. Upon their arrival the father sold the horses and bought oxen with which he did his farmwork, marketing and milling. The log cabin in which they first lived was very primitive. At one end was a mammoth fireplace with a giant chimney. Here the meals were cooked with the aid of a "crane" to which the pots and kettles were attached. They could then be swung into or out of the fire without endangering the cook. Besides giving plenty of heat these large fires also furnished light around which the female members of the household did the knitting for the family while the boys studied their lessons. Mrs. Hoard was a very industrious woman who spun, knit and made all the family clothing and also assisted her husband in farm duties.
The schools in those days were also very plain log buildings, resembling the homes. The benches were slabs of wood. Other slabs, attached to the walls, made desks. Andrew attended the very first school ever taught in this district and, as soon as he was large enough, was removed from school to work on the farm. In spite of meagre education, young people received in the rugged school of experience those lessons of discipline and self-denial which have given them great strength of character.
On Mar. 6, 1873, Andrew married Miss Magdalene KNECHT, who was born in France June 30, 1852. She was the daughter of Christien Knecht, also a native of France, who served several years in the French Army. He came to America in 1852 and at once traveled to Amboy Twp., this county, where he bought a tract of timber land and there lived until 1880. Then he sold out and removed to Davis Co., MO, where he made his home until his death Mar. 6, 1884. His wife, Solema ZIMMERMAN, was also a native of France and is still living (1888) with a daughter in KS. Mr. and Mrs Hoard have two children, Justus H. and Fred. They belong to the Free Methodist Church. In politics, Mr. H. is a Republican.
