ALBERT T. HOADLEY
This biographical memoir had to do with a character of unusual force and eminence, for Albert T. Hoadley, whose life chapter has been closed by the fate that awaits mankind, was for a long lapse of years one of the prominent citizens of Bloomington, although he was summoned to close his earthly accounts while still in the zenith of his power. While he carried on a special line of business in such a manner as to gain a comfortable competence of himself, he also belonged to that class of representative men of affairs who promote the public welfare while advancing individual success. There were in him sterling traits which commanded uniform confidence and regard, and his memory is today honored by all who knew him and is enshrined in the hearts of his many friends.
Albert T. Hoadley was born at Mt. Tabor, Monroe county, Indiana, on July 12, 1860, and his death occurred at his home in Stinesville on July 27, 1912. He was the son of John and Mary E. (York) Hoadley, the father a native of England and the mother born in the state of Ohio. John Hoadley came to America at the age of twelve years and here learned the trade of machinist. He was employed at this occupation at New Albany, Indiana, for four or five years, at the end of which period he came to Monroe county, and here he became identified with the stone business, in which he was a pioneer. Opening up a quarry on Big creek in 1876, he there carried on his operations successfully until turning the business over to his son, the subject of this sketch. He is now retired from active business pursuits. To him and his wife were born the following children: Belle, Albert and Elmer are deceased; Minnie, Rose, John and Burt G., the latter being referred to specifically elsewhere in this work.
Albert T. Hoadley was reared under the parental roof and secured his education in the common schools. On attaining mature years Mr. Hoadley engaged in the stone business, becoming a partner with his father, and eventually the youngest brother, Burt G., was taken into the firm. Mr. Hoadley first gave his attention to the making of monuments, but subsequently opened a mill for sawing and finishing stone and eventually buying a quarry. Energetic and indefatigable in his efforts, he built up a large business and gained a splendid reputation as a man of good business judgment, his reputation being still further enhanced by a life lived along the highest motives, so that at all times he enjoyed the unqualified confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens.
Mr. Hoadley was twice married, first, in 1885, to Myrtle Franklin, the daughter of James Franklin, and to them were born three children: Wilder, born July 24, 1899. died June 30, 1890; Roy, born June 2, 1891, died December 22, 1892; Mary E., born June 21, 1893, who became the wife of Guy West of Stinesville. After the death of his first wife, Mr. Hoadley was, on March 31, 1895, married to Anna Ferris, the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Austin) Ferris, the former a native of New York state and the latter of Kentucky. Mr. Ferris came from his native state to Indiana, meeting his future wife at Madison, where their marriage occurred, after which they located at Worthington, Indiana. He was a plasterer by trade all his life and was held in high repute in the locality where he lived. He and his wife are both now deceased. They were the parents of five children, namely: Alfred, Laura, Agnes (deceased), Ann and Hettie. To the subject's second union has been born one child, Maud Agnes, born March 3, 1896, who is the wife of Rogers A. Lee, of Bloomington. Mrs. Hoadley is a lady of many gracious qualities of head and heart, who had gained and retains a warm place in the hearts of all who know her.
Politically, Mr. Hoadley was a stanch supporter of the Republican party, but never sought office. Religiously, he was an earnest and faithful member of the Baptist church, in the various activities of which he took a prominent part, having been a deacon in that society for many years. His life history exhibits a career of unswerving integrity, indefatigable industry and wholesome social relations - the record of a well balanced mental and moral constitution, strongly marked by those traits of character which are of special value in such a state of society as exists in this country. Personally, Mr. Hoadley was a man of clean character and of genial impulses, so that he, unconsciously perhaps and without effort, made friends of all who came into contact with him. The world needs such men and his death was a distinct loss to the community in which he had lived.
