William B. Hoar, a member of the general mercantile firm of Hodgson Brothers & Hoar, of Houghton, Ploughton County, Michigan, is one of the leading citizens of that village. He was bom at Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and is a son of the late John Hoar, who located at Houghton in 1858 and built a tram-way from the Isle Royale mine to the Isle Royale mill site. 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. Since 1859 William B. Hoar, the subject of this sketch, has been a resi- dent of Houghton. He attended the common schools of the ^'illage, took a business course at Detroit, Michigan, and spent one year at Ann Arbor, Michigan, but his entire business life has been passed at Houghton. Until 1887 he operated a dry goods store by himself, but at that date the present firm style was atloptcil, additional members and capital being added. Tlia stock includes groceries and dry goods, and all commodities usually found in an establishment of this kind, which is kept up to the highest standard of excellence. The store building is a commodious double one, located near the corner on Shelden street. In 1875 Mr. Hoar married Cordelia R. Mathews, who was born at Eagle Harbor, Michigan, and is a daughter of the late Mark Mathews, a pioneer of Keweenaw County, Michigan, from Cornwall, England. The two children of this marriage are: Mrs. Henry G, Warner of Detroit; and W. B., Jr., a student at the Michigan Col'ege of Mines. In politics Mr. Hoar is a stanch Republican, and cast his first presidential vote for U. S. Grant. Fraternally he is a Mason and a Knight of Pythias, and is also connected with several benevolent organizations. In religious views he is an Episcopalian and is serving as junior warden of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church of Houghton, Michigan. Mr. Hoar was the first station agent of the Marquette. Houghton & Ontonagon Railroad Company, now a part of the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Railway system: for the L'Anse & Houghton Transportation Com- pany, which operated the first teams overland: and of the L'Anse & Houghton Transit Company, which operated the steamer "Ivanhoe" during the summer seasons.
