Horace Hoyt,  gardener, Morris, was born in New York in April, 1811; was 
raised and educated in Oneida County, N. Y., where he engaged in mercantile 
pursuits until 1857, when he came to Morris. Here he continued the mercantile 
business for five years, when he sold out and went to Mexico, where he was 
engaged for one year in buying, compressing and shipping cotton. After a trip 
East, he came back to Morris, where for the past six years he has been engaged 
in market gardening. He is located one mile south of Morris, on sixty acres of
