CLEMENT L. HOSKIN. It affords the biographical writer much pleasure to note the beautiful homes in Pike County, which furnish conclusive evidence of the energy and good judgment which have led to the prosperity of so many of her agriculturists. Particularly is this true when our attention is called to a family whose members have borne an important share in the development of the county, and aided by their zeal in its growth in all that pertains to the best civilization.

The gentleman whose name introduces these paragraphs is a lineal descendant of Isaac Hoskin, who was born in the Empire State, and came to Illinois in 1820, settling on the American Bottoms, not far from St. Louis, Mo., when that nor populous city comprised but a few log cabins. In a short time Mr. Hoskin was located in Pike County, where he spent the remainder of his life, dying when upwards of eighty years of age. In common with the pioneers in general, he often hunted deer and other game, with which the country abounded when he first arrived. While on one of his hunts, he came across some bear cubs and captured one, whose cries were heard by the old bear, which came to the rescue of the little one. Mr. Hoskin having a very narrow escape from its clutches. He succeeded in reaching his home, but lost the cub. Mr. Hoskin was a soldier during the Black Hawk War. He was an Old-Line Whig in politics, and later a Republican, and was a sincere Christian.

The next in the direct line of descent was Charles Hoskin, who was born in Onondaga County, N. Y., in 1810. From the age of ten years, when he accompanies his parents to Pike County, he made his home here, growing to maturity amid the surroundings of frontier life, and bearing a part in clearing and otherwise developing the country. During his early life the settlers ground their corn in mills run by horse-power, lived principally on cornbread and wild game, and wore homespun clothing. His father would often take his old flint-lock rifle before breakfast on a frosty morning, and go out and kill a deer which would furnish meat for some days. Charles Hoskin during his youth has a colt killed by a black wolf and setting a trap, caught the marauder the following night. It was necessary for the settlers to keep their sheep in a pen against the house in order to protect them against the wolves which were numerous and bold. Charles Hoskin traded with the Indians years ago, and otherwise occupied himself as a farmer, becoming the owner of about four hundred acres of land. His first vote was cast for Gen. Jackson, and he continued to adhere to the party to which he first gave his allegiance. He died at the age of sixty-seven years, leaving behind him the record of a worthy citizen and honored pioneer.

The wife of Charles Hoskin bore the maiden name of Eliza Shinn, was born in Ohio, December 20, 1810, and is still living in the enjoyment of good health. She is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has ever endeavored to conscientiously discharge her duties as wife, mother, and member of society. Her family consisted of the following children: Isaac, Daniel (deceased), Charles, Clement (our subject), Asa, William, Nancy, Jane, Rachel, Lydia (deceased), and Mary.

Clement L. Hoskin was born October 13, 1835, in Pike County, which is still his home, and reared in the manner usual to the sons of pioneer farmers. He attended school in the old log schoolhouse during the days when the teacher was engaged under the subscription method, and improved his opportunities to the best advantage possible. So great was his desire for knowledge, that after he had attained to his majority, he spent one winter pursuing his studies in the High School at Winchester, Scott County. His lifework as a farmer was begun on rented land which he cultivated on shares, continuing to labor in this way until 1861. He then purchased eighty acres on section 26, Derry Township, but soon sold it and bought a tract of the same size on section 22.

Ere long Mr. Hoskin became the owner of forty acres on section 16, which he occupied two years, then bought and removed to an eighty-acre tract on section 14. His present residence is one of the best in the township, built of frame and pleasantly situated back from the road, to which a drive lined with maple trees leads. It is built of frame, and was erected in the summer of 1890. Mr. Hoskin now owns two hundred and thirty acres of land, all of fertile soil which has been brought to a high state of cultivation, and is capable of producing abundant crops. The owner raises some stock, his principal attention in that line being paid to swine.

April 1, 1860, Mr. Hoskin was united in marriage with Miss Sarah Payne, who died eleven months after marriage, leaving an infant daughter, Sarah. After having lived a widower until 1866, Mr. Hoskin was again married, his bride being Miss Nancy Baker, who was pared to him but two years. The rites of wedlock between our subject and his present wife were solemnized August 11, 1872. Mrs. Hoskin is a native of Pike County, intelligent, efficient, and a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She was known in her girlhood as Miss Edna Ward. Her happy union has been blessed by the birth of two children, Fila, and Mary.

The sterling qualities of Mr. Hoskin have been recognized by his fellow-citizens in bestowing upon him the office of Township Assessor, in which he has served four terms, and that of Supervisor which he has held two terms. He is a member of the Democratic party.

Death: 1929

Note: "From Pioneer Sketch of Wm. Hoskin"

William Hoskin, sixth son of Chas. Hoskin and Eliza Shinn, was born at the old homestead in Derry township, Feb. 15, 1839. He was raised like other pioneer farmers' sons, and obtained his schooling at the common country schools, where teachers carried only second grade certificates, and during short sessions in the winter season when there were no crops to be tended. The rule usually was, work first, and school afterwards. So it happened, after these necessary regulations had been complied with, the time remaining for school, like many other good things in those days, it was limited; yet he learned to read and write. Oct. 7, 1860, he was married to Miss Sarah Jane Moorhead, who was born in Clermont county, Ohio, March 27, 1842, and came to Pike county with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. T.W. Moorhead, when about 10 years old. To this union were born three daughters Mary E., the eldest, died after she became a married woman; Lizzie, the youngest died in infancy; leaving but one daughter, Mrs. Margaret Edna Hardy, and two grandsons and three granddaughters living. But Mr. Hoskins's family relatives can be numbered by hundreds. Soon after their marriage about 1862, they moved onto a 40-acre tract in the s e part of the township and began clearing, to which they soon added 70 acres more, on which they lived for about 35 years. About this time Mr. Hoskin quit farming on account of failing health, and quite recently he sold that farm for $90 per acre, thus realizing a profit of over $7,000 on the purchase price. If that farm met living expenses and taxes, the aged couple ought to have a neat sum laid by for a "rainy day." They are now living in peace and plenty in their cozy home in the village of El Dara. Their golden wedding anniversary (Oct. 7, 1910,) was allowed to pass without celebration, thereby losing the pleasure of its remembrance in their old days.
Mr. Hoskin has tended to his voting pretty closely, but cares nothing for office. He cast his first vote in 1860 for Stephen A. Douglass for president, and his last vote in 1912 for Woodrow Wilson, and the same kind of ticket, all the way between, thus wasting his time and nearly all his ballots for over half a century; rather a sad showing. Yet he thinks he has had just as good a president as the rest of us. He was raised a democrat and a Methodist, and he and Mrs. Hoskin joined the M. E. church which was organized at Pleasant View about 20 years ago. But that church has ceased to exist; and about 12 years ago both united with the Christian church at El Dara; but they don't know now if they are Christians or not. They have assisted in building up and maintaining good society about them , and excepting a few months at Clarksville, Mo., he has spent his entire life (three quarters of a century ) near the place of birth in Derry township, and it herein appears that his ancestors rank among the F. F. Ds.
