The mortal remains of the late N. E. Hoak, who departed this life at his home in Chico on Friday, August 27th, were laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery in this place last Monday beside the body of his first wife, who passed away a number of years ago.
The funeral was conducted under the auspices of the local Masonic lodge of which deceased was a member. It was largely attended by local citizens and a number of residents of Comptche, Mr. Hoak's former home.
N. E. Hoak was born in Franklin county, Maine, December 8, 1833. He remained with his parents on a farm until he was seventeen years of age, when he went to sea, sailing before the mast. He follow the sea until 1859, when he came to California. In October of that year, he arrived in Mendocino and soon secured a position with Stickney & Coombs, who were then logging for Macpherson & Weatherbee. In 1862 i he went to Comptche and shortly afterwards took up a claim with J. B. Rice. Some years afterwards, he bought out Rice's interest. He lived at Comptche until about fifteen years ago, when he moved to Berkeley and after living there a few years, went to Chico, where he built himself a comfortable home for his declining years.
Deceased was married twice. His first wife died a number of years ago, and his second wife preceded him to the grave a little over a year ago. He leaves to mourn his loss, three daughters, Miss Lottie Hoak, Pasadena; Mrs Alice Goodrich, Grass Valley; Mrs. Carrie McIntyre, Chico. (Mendocino Beacon, 4 Sep 1915, p. 1)
