# Note: Daugher of Francis & Elizabeth (Boyer). She first attended the German schools of this Pennsylvania-German settlement, since her father wanted his children to be educated to the native language of his motherland. He relaxed his rule somewhat, when he allowed Mary to attend 3 sessions of 3 months each of an English school. She moved with her family in 1818 to Hunter’s Bottom, KY, about 8 miles below the mouth of the Kentucky River. She was of a genial, viviacious temperament, and soon became a leading spirit in whichever circle she was a member. She was industrious and energetic and performed her share of the labor of a pioneer household, including spinning, weaving and carding. She also had a taste and skill for embroidery and needlwork. One of her pieces, a large “counterpane” is in a good state of preservation. As of 1908 it is a prized treasure of her family. She was married to Okey Hoagland in 1827 under the forest trees in her parents home. In the attractive and intersting locality of Hunter’s Bottom, Mrs. Hoagland was a prominent figure for 3 decades. If sickness entered a home of friends or strangers, some member of her family was dispatched to relieve the weary mother; and always proved a patient, trusted watcher by the bedside of the sufferer. She was unostentatious in her charity; but if inquired into, in every commendable cause when contributions were made, her gifts were found “to lead the rest.” But the interest that dominated all others were those of the little Methodist Chapel (Hopewell) which she and her husband were principal instruments in the building. The picture which often presents itself to her children is that of their mother on the Sabbath afternoon, seated in her arm chair, with a bouquet of favorite flowers lying beside her and her open folio Testament, reverently reading God’s word. A thought which was oftern the subject of her most serious meditations, was our individual responsibility to God, and that for every idle work, we must give an account at theJudgement seat of Christ. Mrs. Hoagland had reached but little more than three score years, when she was attacked with a disease of the heart. She lingered a few months and died on 6 Jul 1865. In a quiet cemetery at the paternal home with five generations of her kindred, besides her three sons, she was laid to rest.
