Hoge, Landy S. – The lumber and coal business of Morris is heavy, as the city 
supplies Grundy County with the greater quantity of both commodities used in 
its consumption, and the handling of them has been developed into a very 
valuable interest.  One of the men who, for some years, bore his part in the 
material development of these kindred lines of commercialism, is Landy S. 
Hoge, now living retired at Morris.  He was born in Nettle Creek Township, 
February 2, 1864, son of Samuel and Matilda (Holderman) Hoge.  The father was 
born in Virginia, and the mother in Ohio.  In 1833 Samuel Hoge came to Grundy 
County, married here and settled on his farm west of Morris.  His wife came 
here with her parents, Abraham Holderman and wife, in 1831.

Landy S. Hoge grew up on the farm, receiving his educational training in the 
public schools, the Morris Normal school and Bryant and Stratton’s Business 
college.  He lived with his parents on the farm until his marriage, which 
occurred in September, 1888, when he was united with Margaret McCambridge, 
born in Grundy County, daughter of John and Maria (Cunnea) McCambridge, 
natives of Ireland.  After marriage Mr. Hoge moved to a farm in Nettle Creek 
Township, which he owned, and carried on general farming until 1900, when he 
rented his property, and moved to Morris, which has since continued his home.  
He had an interest in a grain elevator at Stockdale for two years, and a few 
months after his arrival at Morris bought a one-half interest in a lumber and 
hard coal business from a Mr. Moore, and, with F. S. Stephens, conducted it 
until January 1, 1913, when he sold his interests to Mr. Stephens and is now 
retired.  In politics he is a Republican, and fraternally belongs to the 
Knights of Pythias, at Morris.  Mr. and Mrs. Hoge are the parents of three 
children:  Hildegarde, wife of Roscoe Buzzard, and they have one child, 
Margaret and now live in Bitter Root Valley, Montana; Zita; and Eunice, who 
married Clifford Collins of Morris.  Mr. Hoge, a sound, reliable, sensible 
man, is justly regarded as one of the city’s representative citizens.
