Obituary

John Wesley Hoy

 

John Wesley Hoy was born in Westerville, Ohio

April 20, 1857. In 1882 he moved to a farm

seventeen miles south of Frankfort, South Dakota,

and homesteaded there. Later, in 1901, he moved to

Frankfort. On November 20, 1878, he was married to

Estella McEuen. To this union six children were born:
Frank Hoy of Minneapolis, Minnesota; Clyde Hoy of

Rockham, South Dakota; Mrs. J. A. Matteson of

Redfield, South Dakota; Mrs. J. J. Travis of Sioux

Lookout, Ontario, Canada; Mrs. J. R. Olson and

William Hoy of this city.

 

Mr. Hoy had been failing in health about a year and

during the last three weeks was seriously ill and died at

the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. R. Olson,

Wednesday evening November 1, at 8 p.m.

 

At one time Mr. Hoy served Frankfort as Mayor and was

highly regarded by all the citizens. Mr. Hoy was a member

of the Evangelical Church at Irving, South Dakota,

which was established by his father who for many years

was an Evangelical minister and was highly respected by

a large constituency. Mr. Hoy also belonged to the

Odd Fellow Lodge at La Delle, South Dakota.

 

He lost his wife and companion July 3, 1910. One brother

Silas Hoy passed away last spring. He leaves to mourn

his loss three sons and three daughters; six brothers and

three sisters; and four grandchildren; and a large

circle of friends. The people of this community extend

their sympathy to the bereaved family.

 

The funeral services was conducted from the Methodist

church by Reverend Albert Hocking on Friday afternoon.

The floral tributes were many and beautiful.

We wish to express our heartfelt appreciation of the

kindness and aid during the illness and death of our father.
