- I. A. HOXIE is the editor and proprietor of the Evansville
Review, which he
- established in 1866. He is a native of the State of Maine,
having been born in Piscataquis County, in 1825, and is a son
of Allen HOXIE, one of the pioneer settlers of Rock County. He
has also one brother residing in this county, B. S. HOXIE, who
makes his home in Evansville.
- With the exception of a few short years, our subject has
been a resident of the
- county since 1846, and has taken an active interest in her
welfare and progress. After their arrival the family first settled
at Cooksville, where I. A. was engaged at working
|
- in the various branches of carpentering and building for
a considerable time, making a specialty of the manufacture of
sash, blinds and doors. He later became a resident of Stoughton,
Wis., where for some time he pursued his trade, and in 1864 became
connected with the Reporter, a newspaper of that town. Two years
later, in 1866, he removed to Evansville and established the
Review, continuing his connection with that paper until 1868,
when, disposing of his business, he went to Cresco, Iowa, where
he became proprietor of the Times of that place. Remaining in
Iowa until 1870 he once more returned to Rock County, and again
became editor and proprietor of the Review, a bright newsy paper,
published weekly and having a circulation of 500 copies. For
a greater number of consecutive years than any other man now
in Rock County in a similar position, he has had charge of his
paper.
- In 1850 Mr. HOXIE was united in marriage with Miss Sarah
A. ROLLINS, a native of St.
- Albans, Me., and of their union has been born one son, Wilbur
T., who is now a book and stationery merchant, of Evansville.
