Hoyer was born in Burdine, (Carnegie) Pa., March 12, 1915, to Gustav Richard and Sarah Rosa (Schwartz) Hoyer. He lived in Washington County since he was a young boy. He left school after the 10th grade to work the family farm with his father. He married Connie Miller in 1939. They lived near Anton, where he farmed all his life except for the years that he ran a dairy there. He was considered an expert with animals; some even called him an amateur veterinarian. The year that the Pony Express celebrated its anniversary with a ride, Hoyer rode with the rider who passed through Eastern Colorado. At age 71, he was proclaimed, "a man of the west and a good sport who has shown an enthusiastic interest in horsemanship, " when he was elected to membership in the Rooftop Riders, Estes Park. A founding member of Y-W Electric, he became an early advocate for that organization. He was part of the original incorporation in June 1945, and later became the District Six director. He was elected to every office of the board from 1940 to 1988. In addition, he traveled around the area for the REA beginning in 1948, asking people to sign up for $5. He helped to build Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Anton where he was a charter member. Hoyer is survived by his wife, Constance; son, Gaylon George Hoyer of Denver, and two grandsons. Hoyer was preceded in death by his daughter, Gwendolyn Anne Hoyer; sister, Tillie Hoyer Brown; brother, Louis R. Hoyer, and his parents. Memorials may be made to Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Anton. A memorial service was held Aug. 13 at 10:30 a.m. from Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Anton with Pastor Sally Ponfick officiating. Inurnment was conducted at the Cope Cemetery. Brenner Funeral Home of Akron handled the arrangements. [3]
