received his early education in local schools, and attended for a time Prof.
Kersteiner's school, which subsequently became Markham's Academy, from
which he and many of the youths of [p.157] Milwaukee in the 60's were
graduated, and in which they received most valuable training under that born
educator Prof. Markham. In the fall of 1869 he entered Beloit College,
becoming a member of the class of 1873, with which he remained two years.
He next taught school in Ionia County, Michigan, during the winter of 1871-2,
and at the close of his school, he entered the insurance office of Crampton &
Dodge of Milwaukee. But the young man had his eye on the legal profession,
and, as the first step toward the realization of his ambition, he joined the law
class of Michigan University, remaining with it during the college year of 1874-
5. He then entered, in the fall of 1875, the law office of Mariner, Smith & Ordway as a student. A year later he was studying with the firm of Cotzhausen,
Smith, Sylvester, & Scheiber. He passed his examination in 1877, and was
admitted to the bar. In 1882 he formed a partnership with David S. Ordway,
under the firm name of Ordway & Hoyt. This partnership lasted for three years.
In the years 1891-2 he was a member of the law firm of Quarles, Spence, Hoyt
& Qaurles. From 1895 to 1896 his firm was Hoyt & Ogden, and since March,
1896, Hoyt, Ogden & Olwell. In the intervals between the above partnerships
he was practicing alone.
Since the spring of 1895 he has been one of the standing masters in chancery of
the United States District Court, and acted as such in the foreclosure cases of
the Wisconsin Central, Green Bay, Winona & St. Paul, and the Milwaukee city
railways.
Possessing a thorough knowledge of the principles of law, familiar with local
and general statutes, an advocate of more than usual ability, he has won very
general recognition in the profession, and is considered one of the leaders
among the younger members of the Milwaukee bar.
In politics Mr. Hoyt is a Democrat, and in the campaign of 1896 was one of his party
who stood for the gold standard. He never held office other than those in party
organizations.
