Oakey Hoagland was born in Morris County, New Jersey, February 27, 1791, and died at his residence in Hunter's Bottom, January 15, 1883, lacking only a few days of being 92 years old. His grandfather, with two brothers, shipped bricks from Holland and erected the first brick house in the City of New York. His parents Cornelius and Mary Tuttle Hoagland, moved from New Jersey to Kentucky in 1798, and settled in Hunter's Bottom, where they raised a family of ten children.At the age of 14 he caught a severe cold, which, terminating in sciatica, caused him to be a cripple the remainder of his life. He was united in marriage with Miss. Mary Giltner, October 18, 1827, with whom he lived a most happy life, untill her death, which occurred July 6, 1865. Uncle Oakey labored on him farm until he was 60 years old, managed all of his business affairs until the death of his wife, when he turned them over to his son Barney. He was a member of the Methodist Church nearly half a century, leading an exemplary life from the day he joined until the day of his death. As a steward, he was ever faithful, and when his church (Hopewell) was called he invariably reported full payments, as many of our preachers can testify. Hopewell was built by his zeal and energy, and most of the money furnished by him. His home was always a home for the preachers and their wives, and for a number of years he kept the preachers during the whole Conference - Year without compensation. Although his general health seemed good; he was a great sufferer most of his life. I never saw him at the table with the family but once, being his 90th birthday. He was confined to his room for seven years. He was a subscriber to the Christian Advocate when it first started, and never let the subscription run out. He believed it a sin not to take out Church - paper, or neglect the support of the gospel in any way. One week before his death he went into a stupor, and remained so for two days.When he revived himself briefly he said " Halleluiah ! Praise the lord I am so happy his last words. Then he fell asleep in Jesus. His funeral service was preached by the writer to a very large audience in Hopewell Church. His remains were then laid to rest by the side of his companion in the family burying ground on the Giltner farm. He leaves six children to mourn their loss, all of whom are members of the Church.
