Belding Banner, 9 Mar 1899

Elsie Ann Handy was born in West Bloomfield, Ontario county, N.Y., October 9,
1816, and afterwards moved with her parents to Hume, Alleghany Co., N.Y., where
in 1834 she was married to Daniel Hoyt.  In 1838 they moved to Michigan, having
to travel by boat from Buffalo to Detroit and the rest of the way to Ionia
county in a wagon.  In 1839 they bought eighty acres of land from the government
in Orleans and settled upon it where they lived until their death.  Mr. Hoyt
died March 4, 1895, and Mrs. Hoyt died February 15, 1899.  Mrs. Hoyt was
converted in youth and has lived to exemplify the christian faith and train up
her children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.  She was the mother of ten
children, eight of whom grew to maturity.  Six are still living: Lucy M. King of
Orleans, Almira E. Face of Orleans, Marietta E. Morton of Riverton, Mason
county, Mich., Sylvia S. Colton of Ashland, Oregon, Quincy U. Hoyt of Ludington,
and Geo. H. Hoyt of Orleans.  Besides these she leaves 28 grandchildren and 22
