HOYT, CITY’S OLDEST RESIDENT, DIED HERE SUNDAY Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon for Mrs. Rachel Hoyt, Brunswick’s oldest resident, who passed away at her home, 2108 Ellis street, Christmas morning. Mrs. Hoyt, who was the widow of the late L.D. Hoyt, would have been 94 years of age on her next birthday in February. She has not enjoyed good health in recent years, but prior to being stricken a number of years ago she was active in various circles in Brunswick. Mrs. Hoyt was born in Brunswick and resided here all her life. Her late husband for years was engaged in the hardware business in Brunswick, and many years after his death the business which he headed was continued under the name of L.D. Hoyt & Company. Mrs. Hoyt is survived by two sons, L.D. Hoyt and Colson Hoyt, both of this city. A number of grand children and great-grandchildren and many other relatives also survive, among them being Mrs. Gladys Baker Coffin, widow of the late Howard E. Coffin. Funeral services yesterday afternoon were held at Miller’s funeral parlor on Newcastle street, conducted by the Rev. C.C. Davison, of the First Baptist church. Burial was in Oak Grove cemetery.
