Whitney, now of the city of Atlantic, and by him sold to Harvey Hoyt, of whom William Hoyt purchased it. It consists of one hundred and twenty acres, one forty of which lies on section 32, and the remainder on 29. Mr. Hoyt was born in Sciota Co. OH, February 27, 1828.

In 1845 he married Jane Devault who was born in OH. Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt had seven children living--Hiram, James, Alanson, Eliza, Sarah, Reson and Lydice May. (Reprinted from History of Cass County).
