  http://books.google.com/books?dq=Hoard%20Wasioja&q=hoard&id=41FKAAAAYAAJ&output=text&pg=PA1215 Emmett F. Hoard, furniture dealer, of Dodge Center, was born in Waupun, Wisconsin, in 1849. His parents, George L. and Esther (Fairbank) Hoard, came to Minnesota in 1856, and engaged in farming in Wasioja township, on section 30. Asa Hoard, the grandfather of the subject of our sketch, accompanied them, and, although over seventy years of age, worked at the trade of blacksmithing some. He pre-empted the northeast quarter of southeast quarter of section 25 upon a land warrant obtained for services as a soldier in the war of 1812. George Hoard, who was also a blacksmith, lived upon his farm until his wife died, in 1872, when he sold out and lived with his sons until his decease, in 1874. Emmett remained upon the farm until twenty-three years of age. He then went into the telegraph office at Faribault, Minnesota, where he stayed a year. He then was employed as operator at Dodge Center; soon was appointed as agent for the railroad company, and remained there for seven years. Since then Mr. Hoard has been in the furniture trade in Dodge Center, and is one of the most prosperous of its business men. In 1871 he married, at Medford, Rice county, Mary C. Hicks, of Claremont, Minnesota. They have two children? Freddie, born June 26,1874, and Edna, born November 19,1879. Mr. Hoard is one of that large political party among Americans? independent.
