Joshua Hoge, Jr.

Among the native citizens of Grundy county is Mr. Hoge, whose birth occurred 
upon the old family homestead, July 25, 1850, his parents being Samuel and 
Matilda (Holderman) Hoge, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume. As 
soon as he was old enough to handle the plow he began work in the fields and 
soon became familiar with all the duties and labors that fail to the lot of 
the agriculturist. Throughout his active business career he has engaged in 
farming and in stock-raising, but in 1898 he retired from the farm and removed 
to Morris, where he now resides. He has purchased cattle quite extensively in 
Illinois and other states and engaged in feeding and marketing them, in early 
days, in New York and other eastern markets, but later in Chicago. He sustains 
an unassailable reputation in business circles by reason of his 
straightforward dealing and unquestioned integrity.

In 1876 was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Hoge and Miss Laura Quigley, a 
native of Pennsylvania. Their union was blessed with two children:  Samuel and 
Eva M.; but the wife and mother was called to her final rest April 2, 1896. 
Eva M., the daughter, passed away in death October 7, 1899.  October 4, 1899, 
Mr. Hoge married Mrs. Mary J. Peacock, nee Noble.  In his political views Mr. 
Hoge is a stalwart Republican, warmly advocating the principles of his party, 
but has never sought or desired public office, preferring to devote his 
energies entirely to his business interests in which he has met with very 
creditable and gratifying success. He is a worthy representative of an honored 
pioneer family, and is accounted one of Grundy county’s valued native citizens.
