Hoge, Edgar S. – The fertile farms of Grundy County bear ample testimony to 
the progressive spirit and industry of the agriculturalists of this region, 
and their prosperity has come to them as a result of this recognition on their 
part of the dignity and importance of farming.  One of the representative 
agriculturalists of this section is Edgar S. Hoge, a general farmer of Nettle 
Creek Township.  He was born in the township, now his home, January 19, 1866, 
a son of Hendley and Virginia (Silcott) Hoge.  Mr. Hoge received an ample 
public school training, finishing it with a course at a business college at 
Davenport, Ia., remaining on the home farm until 1893, when he married, and 
moved to a farm he owned in Champaign County, Ill.  Seven years later, he 
returned to the homestead.  While residing in Champaign County, he was 
Supervisor of Stanton Township from 1898 to 1900, and after returning to 
Nettle Creek Township, he was elected in 1910, to the same office here, giving 
efficient service in both instances.  He belongs to the Blue Lodge, A. F. & A. 
M., No. 532 Seneca, Ill., and the Chapter and Commandery of Morris, and is 
prominent in Masonic circles.

On December 14, 1893, Mr. Hoge was united in marriage with Anna Anderson, born 
in Sweden, December 20, 1870.  In 1885, she came to Morris, with a brother, 
and there met and married Mr. Hoge.  They have the following children:  
Mildred, Irene, Hendley, Sybil, Bess and Leslie.  Mr. Hoge is a Republican, 
and his ability, keen judgment and conservative action were recognized and he 
was made a Justice of the Peace, which office he held eight years.  In every 
capacity, he has proven himself a worthy citizen, and his farm testifies to 
the fact that he is an intelligent business man, as well as a good provider 
for his family of which he is justly proud.
