     HON. LOUIS G. HOYT, who has been judge of the Probate Court
of Rockingham County, N. H., since 1902, when he succeeded Judge
Thomas Leavitt in this office, was born in Exeter, N. H., February 23,
1856. His parents, Gilman B. and Mary Anna (Jewell) Hoyt, were both
natives of this state, the father being a tailor by occupation. He was
also Register of Deeds of Rockingham County several years and was
postmaster of Exeter under President Cleveland's second term.
     Louis G. Hoyt was the only child of his parents. Beginning his edu-
cation in the common schools, he subsequently attended Phillips Exeter
Academy, and later became a student at Dartmouth College, where he
was graduated in 1877. He then entered the field of journalism, start-
ing the New Hampshire Democrat, at Exeter, N. H., which he con-
ducted for about two years. He then began the study of law in the
office of the late William W. Stickney at Exeter, and in 1878 was ad-
mitted to the bar. He began the practice of his profession at Kingston,
N. H., where he still resides. In 1889 he opened a law office in Boston
for Ex-Governor Rollins & Son, and had charge of it there for two
years, until they removed to Boston from Concord to assume charge
of it themselves. He then returned to Kingston and resumed the prac-
tice of law there. In 1892 he was elected county solicitor and served in
that office until 1900. In 1902, as already stated, he was appointed to

his present position as judge of probate, in which he is serving with
marked efficiency. In politics he is a Republican. He is a trustee of
Sanborn Seminary, also of Brown's Seminary at East Kingston. Al-
ways an earnest student of his profession, Judge Hoyt has gained a
high reputation as a lawyer. As a result of is experience, he published
in 1901 a valuable work, "Hoyt's Probate Practice," which has been
received with much favor by his legal brethren. A Republican in poli-
tics and a public-spirited citizen, he takes a keen interest in local affairs
and his aid and influence can always be counted upon in behalf of any
worthy cause. He is a Free Mason, belonging to Gideon Lodge at
Kingston.
     Judge Hoyt married Mary S. Towle, a native of Kingston, N. H.,
and daughter of Alfred and Susan (Gale) Towle. He and his wife
attend the Universalist Church. Widely known and highly esteemed,
they stand high among the representative people of Rockingham County.
