The Death of James C. Hoe
Dying from a Hurt Caused by Wearing an Ill-fitting Shoe
Thousands of persons yesterday heard with regret the news of the sudden death of James C. Hoe, who for many years had been the head of one of the oldest firms in this city. Mr. Hoe was born in Leicestershire, England. He came to this country with his parents when only two years old. His father, William Hoe, started in business as a builder in 1815, and William Hoe's brother established the firm now known throughout the world as B. Hoe & Co.
James C. Hoe lived in his boyhood at the old homestead at 10 Liberty Place, then known as Little Greene Street. He attended the common school, but, being ambitious to try his hand in business, he entered his father's office at an early age, and obtained a practical knowledge of everything pertaining to the building business as then carried on in this city. At the age of 27 Mr. Hoe was taken into partnership with his father, and the name of the firm was changed to William Hoe & Son. In 1849 the father died, and the firm became Richard & James C. Hoe. Richard was a brother of James C. Hoe, and, he died fifteen years ago. Since then the firm has been James C. Hoe & Co. Among the many large buildings built by this firm are Steward & Co.'s up-town store. Tiffany's, McCreary's and Nible's Garden.
Mr. Hoe married Miss Miller of East Hampton, Long Island. He subsequently bought a country residence at East Moriches, where his family spent the summer months. On the 23d of June last Mr. Hoe went to East Moriches intending to spend a week with his family. While there he became lame in consequence of a misfitting shoe, and gangrene set in. The poison entered the blood and killed him. Mr. Hoe was in his 67th year. He leaves three sons and one daughter. He was tall and stout, with a clean-shaven, ruddy face, and pleasant features.
The remains were yesterday brought to his city residence at 325 West Fourteenth Street. The funeral will be held at the Church of the new Jerusalem, where Mr. Hoe usually attended. The Rev. S. S. Seward, pastor of the church, will conduct the service.
