  ISAAC HOYT, proprietor of Hickory Lane Farm, consisting of 115 acres, situated 
about eight miles northeast of DuBois, Pa., is one of the enterprising, 
progressive and successful agriculturists of this section.  He was born on his 
father's farm in Huston township, Clearfield county, Pa., June 18, 1861, and is 
a son of Hiram M. and Barbara (Brown) Hoyt, and a grandson of Dr. William Hoyt, 
who came from New England and bought property in Huston township, at Hickory 
Kingdom, where many of his descendants still reside.
  Hiram M. Hoyt was the youngest of his parents' children and was thirteen years 
old when his father came to Huston township.  He was reared here and became a 
man of local importance and a large land owner, his 160 acres of pine timber 
being a fortune in itself.  His death occurred in 1903, when seventy-three years 
of age.  His widow survived until 1909, passing away at the age of seventy-eight 
years.  Six children were born to them, namely:  William Alexander, who is 
deceased; Elizabeth, who is the wife of William Bundy; Isaac; Charles E., who is 
a representative citizen and farmer of Huston township; Ida, who is the wife of 
Renaldo Bundy; and Ellen, who is the wife of C. C. Dodd.
  Isaac Hoyt attended the district schools and assisted his father on the home 
farm until his marriage, since when he has followed general farming and dairying 
on his present place.  He has erected first class buildings, maintains a silo 
and in every way shows that he is a man of progressive ideas concerning 
agriculture.  The products, especially butter, from Hickory Lane Farm, command a 
high price in the market.  In March, 1882, Mr. Hoyt was married to Miss Emma 
Miller, a daughter of the late Charles Miller, and they have three children:  
Elva M., Ira D. and Blake.  He is not very active politically but is identified 
with the Republican party.
