GEORGE B. HOAG

    One of the best known citizens of Davis is Mr. Hoag, whose birth occurred
June 15, 1859, in Washington, Yolo county, Cal. His father, Benjamin Hoag, came
to the west by way of Cape Horn in 1850, settling in Washington, where, with his
brother, I. N. Hoag, he established the first ferry operated on the Sacramento
river at that point. His wife, formerly Mary A. Conrad, crossed the plains in
1849. Mr. Hoag owned and operated the first reaper ever used near Washington,
for several seasons harvesting not only for himself, but for his neighbors as
well. Later he engaged in the mercantile business in both Dixon and Davis,
conducting his interests until his retirement to the home of his son, E. G., in
Fresno, his wife having passed away in 1896. Mr. and Mrs. Hoag were the parents
of the following children: George B.; Charles A., of Ventura county; Edmond S.
and Arthur, both of Fresno; and Mrs. Lillian B. Harlin, deceased.

    George B. Hoag has been in the mercantile business all his life, having
assisted in his father's establishment as well as in other stores at Davis prior
to entering into the grocery business in this city. Here Mr. Hoag was united in
marriage to Miss Lucy Tuffts, a California girl, whose father, Joshua B. Tuffts,
was a pioneer of Yolo county. Six children were born to them: George Percival,
Clarence Garfield, Oliver T., Tracy Conrad, Lillian B. (now Mrs. E. McBride, of
Davis), and Anna N. The four sons are well known in baseball circles, having
made excellent records on the field. Mr. and Mrs. Hoag are highly esteemed in
the community which has so long been their home, and are ever ready to assist in
any movement pertaining to the development of their city.
