J. S. HOAGLAND DIED FRIDAY

PROMINENT IN LODGE, SOCIAL AND BUSINESS LIFEE

   J. S. Hoagland, senior member of the firm Hoagland
and Hoagland, Lawyers, died at his home here last
Friday after a very brief illness. He was born 
Febr. 10, 1847 at Jersey City, N. J. At an early age,
his father, William VanFleet Hoagland brought the 
family to Illinois where they went to farming. Here
our friend went to the country school and later taught
several terms. Here he learned the carpenter's trade.
Then the Civil War came and as soon as he could enter
although not yet eighteen, he enlisted and served
during the balance of the war. After his discharge he
returned to his home and shortly married Miss Marie
Waples at Bunker Hill, Ill. Two boys, Walter and
Arthur were born here.
   In 1873 the family moved to Lincoln, Nebraska and
in 1878 J. S. Hoagland became sheriff of Lancaster
Co. He was the second man to hold this office. At
the close of his term as sheriff he engaged in the
lumber business in Lincoln but took up the study of
law and was admitted to the bar in the early 80's.
   He came to western Nebraska in 1884 as president
of a Soldier's colony and settled on a homestead in
Logan Co. He opened a law office in North Platte 
and drove a bronco team fifty miles to his homestead
every week until he proved up on his claim. Then he
moved his family to North Platte and has lived here
since.
   Judge Hoagland was a member of the Episcopal church
at North Platte for many years and active in the life
of the church. He was a prominent worker in the Odd
Fellows and was honored with many appointments and
offices the most important of which were in the state
emcampment. He was a member of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge of Nebraska for 20 years and was once elected
Grand Patriarch of the Grand Encampment. When the
Odd Fellows home was established at York, Judge 
Hoagland was appointed Chairman of the Board of 
Trustees and he held this place until a few years ago.
In 1895 he was state Sentator from this country and
served one term. Upon coming west he began his
activities in the G. A. R. and held many important
places until in 1918 he was made Department Commander
for Nebraska. During all this time until recent years
he was practising law and was known from Kearney to
the state line for his ability in civil and criminal
proceedure.
   Last winter he took Mrs. Hoagland to Floridea for 
her health driving his car the whole way there but on
the return trip he contracted pneumonia from which
he did not fully recover. The immediate cause of his
death was cancer of the bladder which was not discovered
until shortly before his death.
   He is survived by hi wife, Marie L. Hoagland, son
Walter who is senator from this district and his 
partner in the law firm of Hoagland and Hoagland and
his son Arthur who is assistant Secretary of the Fidelity
Reserve Co. of North Platte.
