Hoyt, Charles Franklin (1842–?)

Hoyt had a studio in Sioux City, Woodbury County, in the 1870s. Had partnership as Hamilton & Hoyt. One prominent series was “Corn Palace Interiors.” A. T. Andreas Illustrated Historical Atlas of the State of Iowa, 1875, p. 551, lists him as having come to the state in 1867 and his place of nativity as being McDonough County, Illinois. In the History of the Counties of Woodbury and Plymouth, Iowa, 1890–1891, pp. 1011–1012: “Charles Franklin Hoyt, capitalist, Sioux City, was born in Tennessee, McDonough County, Illinois, November 13, 1842, and comes of old New England stock. His grandfather and father, both of whom bore the name of Jonathon, were natives of New Hampshire, the latter being born in 1808; the former was noted as a very strong man, and often gave exhibitions of his prowess, in carrying great weights, at militia trainings. Elizabeth Rowley, mother of Mr. Hoyt, was born in Syracuse, New York in 1819. Our subject was reared on the farm and attended the common schools. In his twenty-second year he set out with two companions for the mining regions of Idaho. They took turns in driving the team so that each walked two thirds of the distance. Mr. Hoyt spent three years prospecting and mining, in Idaho and Montana, with moderate success, and during this time he became noted for his ability in finding his way over the rugged, snow capped mountains of that region. He then spent three years in traveling, and during his wanderings he learned the art of photography. In 1870 he came to Sioux City, and soon formed a partnership with J. H. Hamilton, which continued four years, in conducting a gallery. Mr. Hoyt then engaged in the manufacture of vinegar and pickling materials in which he continued till 1890 being the founder of the Sioux City Vinegar and Pickling works. He was also active in establishing the Sioux City Brick and Tile works, of which he is president, and is the founder of the Sioux City Stoneware works. He is president of the Sioux Paving Brick company which is a growing and valuable industry. Mr. Hoyt is largely interested in real estate operations in Sioux City, and is an extensive landholder in Kansas. He laid out Highland, Springdale, Edgewood Terrace, and North Riverside, second filing. He is a Member of the IOOF and the K. of P. Lodges. He entertains liberal religious views, and politically is a democrat. He served six years as a member of the city council, and an unexpired term as mayor, to which office he was elected for the succeeding term. In 1871 Mr. Hoyt married Miss Martha Goldie, a native of Leroy, N.Y. and daughter of William Harris, of England. They have five living children; Charles L., Frank A., Mattie, Harry and Edna. Ralph, the fourth died in infancy.” Only listed once in the city directory, that being Hamilton & Hoyt having studio at 71 Fourth Street in 1875–76.
