SHERMAN HOAR, 73 WAS CIA AGENT FOR 12 YEARS: Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice
Boston Globe, The (MA) - April 23, 1991
Deceased Name: SHERMAN HOAR, 73 WAS CIA AGENT FOR 12 YEARS
Sherman Hoar, a Central Intelligence Agency agent who became a woodcutter, sewage plant manager, teacher and real estate broker on the island of his boyhood summers, Martha's Vineyard, died of heart disease March 30 at Massachusetts General Hospital. He was 73 and lived in Edgartown.
A graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and Harvard College in 1940, Mr. Hoar served with the Army Air Corps' 325th Fighter Group in North Africa and Italy during World War II, emerging as a major.
In 1951, when he was chairman of the Department of Industrial Administration at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, he was recruited into the CIA by one of his former students.
He spent 12 years in CIA work in Hong Kong, Buenos Aires, Lima, Peru, and, in the early 1960s, in the Belgian Congo, now Zaire. He left the CIA in 1963 after becoming unnerved by would-be robbers.
Back in Martha's Vineyard, he chopped and sold firewood at $60 a cord, taught at Cape Cod Community College and at the Martha's Vineyard Regional High School and volunteered on the staff of the Dukes County Conservation District.
In 1978 he and his wife opened a real estate firm on the island. He also joined his wife in founding the Pet Adoption and Welfare Service, or PAWS.
Mr. Hoar also served on the executive committee of the Massachusetts Teachers Association, as commissioner of the Edgartown Sewer Commission, supervisor of the Dukes Conservation District and chairman of the Edgartown Fishermen's Association.
He leaves his wife, Harriet; two children from a previous marriage, Roger S. 2d of Cataumet and Ann B. Floyd of Edgartown; a sister, Caroline Baker of South Milwaukee; and four grandchildren.

Notes:
Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar was born in 1816 in Concord, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard College in 1835, received a law degree from Harvard Law School in 1939, and pursued politics, first as a Whig, then as a member of the abolitionist Free Soil Party, and finally as a Republican.
From 1849 to 1855, Hoar served as judge of common pleas in Massachusetts, and from 1859 to 1869, as associate justice on the Massachusetts Supreme Court. He then became the first of President Ulysses S. Grant's five attorney generals. During his time in office, Hoar witnessed the transition of the Office of Attorney General to the Department of Justice.
In 1869, President Grant nominated Hoar to a seat on the United States Supreme Court, but the Senate did not confirm him. As a result, Hoar resigned from Grant's cabinet in 1870, though he continued to serve the President as a member of a special commission. Hoar won election to the House of Representatives in 1872 but failed in a second bid in 1876. He then retired from politics and resumed his law practice. Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar died in 1895.
