Author: History of Grundy County 1914

Hoge, Isaac, who is a member of one of the representative families of Grundy 
County, has spent his life on the farm on which he yet lives and which he 
devotes to general agriculture.  He was born in Nettle Creek Township, Grundy 
County, Ill., July 25, 1850, and is a son of Samuel and Matilda (Holderman) 
Hoge.  From Fauquier County, Va., where he was born October 28, 1805, Samuel 
Hoge came to Grundy County and settled in Nettle Creek Township in 1834, and 
in 1835 acquired 640 acres of prairie and timber lands called canal lands.  He 
died March 13, 1881, a man very highly respected all over the county.  He 
married, May 23, 1839, Matilda Holderman, a daughter of Abraham Holderman, and 
she survived him until February 14, 1898.  They had a large family, five of 
whom died in infancy.  Of those who reached maturity:  Hendley, lives at 
Morris, Ill.; Charlotte, now deceased, married William Reardon; Abraham, died 
during the Civil War; Jane, married John Cunnea, of Chicago; Joshua and Isaac, 
twins, both live in Grundy County; George, lives at Morris; Charles, lives in 
Kendall County; Lina is the wife of David Milligan and lives at Los Gatos, 
Cal.; and Landy S., lives at Morris.

Isaac Hoge attended the district schools and had other educational advantages. 
His natural inclination was toward farming and his success as an agriculturist 
has brought him comfort and independence.  From choice he has remained on the 
farm, adjacent to the old homestead, finding here everything that any section 
could offer in the way of agricultural opportunities, and through industry and 
good judgment he has developed his land to a high degree of remunerative 
cultivation.

Mr. Hoge was married (first) December 9, 1874, to Miss Mary R. Peacock, born 
December 26, 1854, in Erienna Township, Grundy County, Ill., a daughter of 
James and Mary (Sayers) Peacock, who came from New York to Grundy County.  To 
this marriage the following children were born:  Alma, born April 23, 1876, 
married Charles Hynds, of Morris, Ill., and they have one daughter, Helen, 
born January 28, 1908; Mary, born November 27, 1878, is the wife of John 
Hynds, of Morris, and they have one son, William I.; Margaret, born August 29, 
1880, is the wife of J. C. Williams, of Chicago, and they have one child, 
Evelyn; Edna M., born April 29, 1882, is the wife of Edwin N. Burnham, of 
Nettle Creek Township, and they have one son, Edwin; Charles S., born 
September 23, 1884, died August 22, 1900; Landy S., born August 26, 1888, died 
August 16, 1896; and Edith, born April 29, 1883, died in April, 1884.  Mr. 
Hoge was married (second) to Miss Laura E. Waters, who was born in Saratoga 
Township, Grundy County, February 28, 1863, a daughter of Hiram and Harriet 
(Kelley) Thayer, natives of Hillsboro, O.  They came early to Grundy County 
and here Mrs. Thayer died September 13, 18979, Mr. Thayer dying at Abilene, 
Kas., March 16, 1904.  Three children were born to this marriage:  Mildred I., 
born September 5, 1891; Mina L., born June 7, 1893, married October 23, 1913, 
Arthur H. DeRoy, and they now reside in Atkinson, Ill.; and Isaac Jr., born 
July 10, 1895.  In politics, Mr. Hoge is a Republican but takes no very deep 
interest in affairs outside his own neighborhood, in which he is known to be 
an upright and useful citizen.
