CHARLES W. HOYT,
physician and surgeon, was born June 11, 1839, in Chautauqua County, N.
Y., and is a son of Joseph and Sarah (Boyce) Hoyt, of that county. The
Hoyts were among the first settlers of Massachusetts, being there as
early as 1620, from which time they trace their genealogy. The
ancestors of this branch removed from Amesburg, Mass., to New
Hampshire, where the father of our subject was born March 9, 1809. In
early manhood he removed to Chautauqua County, N. Y., where he has
since resided. Charles W. received his education in his native town, in
the high-school, and subsequently attended Allegheny College,
Meadville, Penn. He began the study of medicine in 1866, under the
instruction of Drs. Glidden and Rice, of Panama, N. Y., receiving his
degree from Cleveland Homoeopathic Hospital College in 1870. Dr. Hoyt
began the practice of his chosen profession at Panama, N. Y., removing
to Sharon, Penn., in 1870, where he has since been engaged in active
practice. He was the first announced homoeopathic physician in the
county, has built up a large and lucrative practice, and is recognized
as one of the leading physicians of the Shenango Valley. He was married
in 1861 to Miss Emeline Polley, of Panama, N. Y., of which union four
children survive: Frank H. (a practicing physician associated with his
father), Emma, Josephine and Myrtle. Dr. Hoyt went into the army in
1862, as lieutenant in Company F, One Hundred and Twelfth New York
Volunteers, serving six months. He is a Republican, and one of the best
known and most popular physicians of Mercer County.
