123 A Little Hoy Family Mystery By: Mindy Hagen Great - Granddaughter of George Washington Hoy
The story of my great-grandfather, George Washington Hoy being buried in two cemeteries was a fascinating discovery. In the years 2004 and 2005 I'd gone "on a mission" with the purpose of photographing as many tombstones of my relatives as I could find. I began at Greenwood Memorial Park and Cemetery because I knew my grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-grandfather were laid to rest there, as well as Russell Hoy and his wife, Jessie, and several others in the family. But imagine my surprise when the clerk in Greenwood's office told me that my great-grandfather Hoy's burial plot is still unused.
Looking at him with disbelief, I was too shocked to say anything! I eventually found my voice and replied, "But his name is on the tombstone. He has to be buried there." Checking the records again, the clerk told me "No, the plot is empty. It's never been used." Hmmmm.....what to do now? I drove to other cemeteries in the area, hoping to find George Washington Hoy's real grave site. It took a while, but I finally located him at Mount Hope Cemetery. Excitedly, I photographed his grave marker before walking up the hill to Mount Hope's office where I asked their clerk about the possibility of moving him over to Greenwood Cemetery. They said I'd need to get permission from the family before any plans could be made. So I contacted the family and they said it had always been their intent to have him moved from Mount Hope Cemetery over to Greenwood Cemetery, way back before my great-grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth (Dundore) Hoy passed away in 1965, but they'd never gotten around to it. They said that since so much time had gone by it was probably best to just leave him where he's at.
At first I was disappointed, but then understood that moving George Washington Hoy's remains wouldn't be worth the expense. I came to feel at peace about it.
