SAMUEL HOGE.

This gentleman is now connected with the business interests of Chicago, but is 
well known in the town of Stockdale and county of Grundy. For some time he was 
an enterprising member of the Stockdale Grain Company.

A native of Erienna township, this county, he was born on the 12th of August, 
1877, and is a son of Joshua Hoge, a well known citizen of the county and 
prominently connected with business affairs here. On his fathers farm he spent 
his boyhood days, becoming familiar with the labors and duties which fall to 
the lot of the agriculturist. His preliminary education was acquired in the 
public schools of Morris, and subsequently he continued his studies in the 
University of Grinnell, Iowa, and in Ottawa, Illinois, where he took a 
commercial course. In the fall of 1897, when the Stockdale Grain Company was 
established, he became one of its members and continued to devote his energies 
to its successful conduct until April, 1900, when he sold out. The company 
does a large grain business at Stockdale and also conducts its general store. 
Before disposing of his interests there, Mr. Hoge, on the 2d of October, 1899, 
entered into partnership with George H. Phillips in the commission brokerage 
business on the Chicago Board of Trade, with his office at No. 232 Rialto 
building. He is a young man of marked industry and of keen discernment, and 
undoubtedly a successful future awaits him.
