Collection Summary

Biographical Sketch

Rockwood Hoar

Rockwood Hoar (1855-1906) was born in Worcester, Mass., the son of George Frisbie Hoar (1826-1904) and Mary Louisa Spurr (d. 1859). Rockwood Hoar had one sister, Mary Hoar. In 1862, his father George F. Hoar married (2nd) Ruth Ann Miller (d. 1903). After attending the Worcester public schools, Rockwood Hoar graduated from Harvard with an A.B. in 1876 and an L.L.B. in 1878. Admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1879, he commenced practice in his father's Worcester law office.

Rockwood Hoar was a member of Company C, Fifth Massachusetts Infantry, 1875-1879; an assistant to the district attorney for the middle district (Worcester County) of Massachusetts, 1884-1887; a member of the common council of Worcester, 1887-1891; aide-de-camp with rank of colonel on the staff of Governor Oliver Ames, 1887-1890; and judge advocate general with the rank of brigadier general on the staff of Governor Roger Wolcott, 1897-1900. In 1898 he was elected district attorney for Worcester County and served from Jan. 1899 until his election as a Republican to the Fifty-ninth U.S. Congress in 1904, serving only one term from Jan. 1905 until his death on Nov. 1, 1906. In addition, Rockwood Hoar was a trustee of Clark University in Worcester and the Worcester Insane Hospital, and a director of the Washburn and Moen Manufacturing Company.

In 1893, he married Christine Rice (b. 1872), the daughter of William Rice of Worcester. The couple had two daughters: Frances Helen (b. 1895) and Louisa Ruth (b. 1898). After Rockwood Hoar's untimely death in 1906, his widow maintained their home in Washington, D.C., and divided her time between there and Worcester. In 1915, Christine Rice Hoar married Frederick Gillett (1851-1935), politician and speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

For more insight into the character of Rockwood Hoar, see the reminiscences by Alexander H. Bullock in carton 7, biographical file at the end of the correspondence and personal papers series (Series I).

Frances Helen Hoar Foster and Louisa Ruth Hoar LaFarge

Frances Helen Hoar, Rockwood Hoar's elder daughter, was born in Worcester in 1895. She made her debut in 1912 and married Reginald Candler Foster of Needham, Mass., in 1921. The couple had three children: Rockwood (b. 1923), Charles Henry Wheelwright (b. 1927), and Hugh Kindersley (b. 1928). Louisa Ruth Hoar was born in Worcester in 1898 and made her debut in 1915. In 1923, she married Christopher LaFarge, grandson of the artist John LaFarge and son of C. Grant LaFarge. Louisa died in 1945.

Collection Description

The collection consists of 24 cartons with one oversize volume containing correspondence and personal papers, legal papers, financial papers, and bound volumes primarily generated by Rockwood Hoar, lawyer, district attorney, and member of the 59th U.S. Congress. There are also papers of his wife Christine Rice Hoar Gillett, his daughters Frances Helen Hoar Foster and Louisa Ruth Hoar LaFarge, Frances's husband Reginald C. Foster, and the Randlett family.

The Correspondence and Personal Papers series (1862-1949) in 12 cartons is divided into four sections, the bulk generated by Rockwood Hoar (cartons 1-7). Christine Rice Hoar Gillett's correspondence, 1888-1929 and 1949, is in cartons 7-9; Frances Helen Hoar Foster's correspondence, 1905-1921, is in cartons 9-12; and Louisa Ruth Hoar LaFarge's correspondence, 1908-1923, is in carton 12. There are also 2 folders of miscellaneous programs, notes and lists generated by the three women in carton 12 at the end of the series.

The Legal Papers (1879-1906) consist of Rockwood Hoar's files arranged alphabetically by client name (5 cartons) with a few miscellaneous legal notes (2 folders) at the end of the series in carton 17.

The Financial Papers (cartons 17-20, 1835-1929) consist mainly of bills and receipts made out to Rockwood Hoar and Christine Rice Hoar Gillett, arranged alphabetically by business or individual's name. Within a particular name they are arranged chronologically. These papers include some bills and receipts of Christine Rice Hoar Gillett from 1929. At the end of the series there are 2 folders of unidentified financial items. Following that there are two folders of miscellaneous Randlett family papers, mostly financial in nature, with a few items of correspondence. The Randlett family had some connection to the Rice family, and Rockwood Hoar handled Hannah B. Randlett's financial and legal affairs until his death in 1906.

The Volumes (1876-1914) consist of a letterbook of Rockwood Hoar; address books of Christine Rice Hoar Gillett and Louisa Ruth Hoar LaFarge; legal briefs, casebooks, and legal financial record of Rockwood Hoar; account books of Rockwood Hoar, Christine Rice Hoar Gillett, and Hannah Randlett; diaries of Rockwood Hoar, Christine Rice Hoar Gillett, and Frances Helen Hoar Foster; and scrapbooks of Rockwood Hoar, Christine Rice Hoar Gillett, and Reginald C. Foster. A complete list of bound volumes can be found in the series description for Series IV, Bound Volumes.
