HANCOX, Leland. - Troy Musician Drowns Far Out In Saratoga Lake - Leland
Hancox Dares Water, Unable to Swim - Two lively banjoes that have woven
rhythmic melody for the pleasure of thousands lay mute, one of them forever.
One of "the Banjoleers" was dead. Leland F. (Lee) Hancox, 26, eldest of the
noted curly-haired brother team of the airways, drowned about 5 o'clock
last evening in the middle of Saratoga Lake while rowing with a companion,
Miss Helen Rynaszko, 22, of 61 Breslin Avenue, Cohoes. The Troy musician and
Miss Rynaszko rented a boat at Ryall's Beach on the west shore of the lake
and headed for the center of the lake with Miss Rynaszko at the oars.
Mrs. Henry E. Ryall, one of the beach operators, said Lee, although unable to swim,
slipped over the back of the boat and let himself be towed through the water.
His companion dropped the oars about a half-mile from shore and also took to the water,
Mrs. Ryall said. Miss Rynaszko is able to swim. The first intimation of the holiday
tragedy came with piercing screams for help from Miss Rynaszko, which called into
action two lifeguards from Kaydeross Beach, near Ryall's. They pulled for the
center of the lake in another boat and were told by the Cohoes girl that Lee
lost his grip and suddenly sank. She dived for him but was unable to find trace
of her companion, Miss Rynaszko told the guards. The lifeguards spent a half-hour
at the scene diving for the body without success. Taking the girl to shore they
summoned state police from the outpost at Saratoga Springs. South Glens Falls
state police sped to the lake with an inhalator. With the guards and Patrolman
Gordon H. Spaulding of the Saratoga Springs police, the troopers began grappling.
One of the searchers familiar with the lake said Lee's body sank in "the channel,"
a deeper cut in the lake bottom through which a steady current flows, and it
was believed the body might be recovered three miles to the north at the lake's outlet.
Leland Hancox was born in Troy just before the [First] World War, son of Mr.
and Mrs. George F. Hancox. His brother, Donald W. (Hancox), is a year and a
half younger. The pair grew up to become one of the best-known radio and stage
teams in the state and were beginning to win national recognition. - First
Appeared 15 Years Ago. - "Presenting Don and Lee Hancox, The Banjoleers,"
had a familiar ring to the Trojans. The youths first played almost 15 years
ago at various Troy festivals and entertainments, clad in sailor suits.
Through Troy High School, the brothers intensified their musical studies and
practiced incessantly. Soon radio and stage offers began to come. Together
during the last ten years they played literally hundreds of programs over
area stations and occasionally stepped up to "big time" network spots. The
future looked bright. Last night the father, janitor at School 1 where his sons
learned their first lessons, left for Saratoga Lake as word of the tragedy sped
through Troy. Don stayed home at the apartment at 819 River Street to comfort
his mother. The drowning brought to four the area score of holiday pleasure-seekers
to lose their lives on the water....

HANSEE, Lois (CASEY). - Died, at Napanoch, November 9th 1873, Mrs. Lois Hansee
in the 80th year of her age. The deceased was the daughter of Jesse and Bethia
Casey and was born at Nassau, Rensselaer County in this State June 20th 1785.
Her mother's maiden name was Bethia Potter. She lived at Nassau until 1807
when on the 17th day of May that year she married John Hansee. Subsequently she
lived at Steventown in Columbia county until 1810 when she moved to Neversink
in Sullivan county where she lived until her husband's death August 12, 1857.
Since that time she has made her constant home with her son Jesse C. Hansee Esq.
at whose house she died, and where she had every comfort that the infirmities of
age would permit her to enjoy. Could her biography be correctly written - written
as she retained it in her clear memory - it would make a large and interesting
volume; for her excellent common sense she saw things as they were and her memory
was so retentive that nothing once seen or known by her was ever forgotten.
And notwithstanding her great age, she retained her memory unimpaired to the last.
Generally old people forgot passing events, while they may have a clear recollection
of former times. In her case the recent and former seemed equally clear and fresh,
for she not only recollected the events and circumstances but seemed to maintain
a lively interest in them. She and her family were among the pioneers of Sullivan
County and in common with others they endured the hardships and privations
incident to a new settlement in a wild and rugged country. How clearly this
experience was impressed on the tablet of her memory is known to many who
have heard her recount it and tell of her neighbors - once familiar names,
now mostly forgotten in the distant past. At length she has gone to meet them
in the spirit world. To her, life has been a great reality. It has been a time
of earnest preparation and of action as a means of preparation. At the age of 16
she professed religion, and joined the Methodist church. During the many
subsequent years, she had not found religion to be a burden, but the chief
source of happiness, and in death she could bear testimony that she had not
been pursuing a phantom, but on the contrary, had chosen the better part,
which remained and was about to become a sure and glorious inheritance,
when all else was vanishing away. She seemed ready and willing to die,
"for her to die was gain". Yea, she was anxious rather to depart and to be
with Christ, which to her seemed far better than this weary life. A religion
which can deprive death of its terrors is no delusion. Mrs. Hansee reared 10
children, and lived to see her descendants to the third generation. Her ancestors
and relatives are noted for their longevity. Her parents lived near her own age.
Her brother John Casey who died on the 31st Ult. [that is, of the previous month]
was in his 98th year. Her sister Bethia lived to the age of 104 years. In
personal appearance, Mrs. Hansee was tall and spare, and walked remarkably
erect and sprightly for a person of her age. Though the present generation
have [next line obscured] will be long remembered for her many good and
remarkable traits of character. (name and date of newspaper not noted; submitted

HEMSTREET, Stanley W., Brigadier General (retired). - SCOTIA - Retired Brigadier General Stanley W. HEMSTREET, former commander for the Stratton Air National Guard Base in Scotia, N. Y., passed away after a short illness on Sunday, January 20, 2008, surrounded by his large and loving family. Born in Schaghticoke on May 22, 1925, the son of Edna WENDT HEMSTREET and Ellsworth HEMSTREET, Gen. Hemstreet lived on his family farm on Hemstreet Road in Schaghticoke all of his life. He graduated in 1943 from Hoosic Valley High School, then known as Schaghticoke High School, and immediately joined the U. S. Army Air Corps for flight training. He graduated from pilot training as a second lieutenant in April 1945. From 1946 to 1948, he attended Spartan School of Aeronautics in Okla., then returned to Schaghticoke. General Hemstreet retired as base commander of the 109 Airlife Wing of the Air National Guard in Scotia in 1985, having started 37 years earlier as the third person to be hired at the base. His first assignment was as an aircraft engine mechanic. His later roles included unit supply officer; base supply, property and fiscal officer; and chief of maintenance. He then became director of operations and, in 1971, became base commander. As commander, Gen. Hemstreet was instrumental in bringing the C-130 "ski birds" to the 109th, which took on the mission of providing fuel and supplies to U. S. outposts in Greenland, and later the mission of supplying South Pole Station in Antarctica. In a ceremony held on October 13 of last year, the 109th honored Gen. Hemstreet's distinguished service to the unit by naming a main road on the base Hemstreet Highway. Over the course of his career, he flew the F-47 Thunderbolt and F-51 Mustang fighters, the C-47 and C-97 transports, the T-33 jet trainer, the F-80 and F-86 fighter jets, and the C-130 transport (in both airdrop and ski-equipped modes). He also became an instructor and flight examiner for both the C-97 and the C-130. Among the many highlights of his career, he was the aircraft commander for the first plane to arrive in Berlin as part of the 1961 Berlin Call-up. He also flew many missions into Vietnam during the Vietnam War. When he retired, he had set the Air Force record as the pilot with the longest time on flying status, 42 years, and had logged more than 10,000 flying hours. In civilian life, he was a very active member of the Schaghticoke community, serving as president of the Hoosic Valley School Board and as a longstanding member of the Hoosic Valley Volunteer Fire Company. He also was one of the original organizers of the Willard Mountain Ski Area and was president for the past 20 years of the Knickerbocker Historical Society, working to preserve the Knickerbocker Mansion. He was also an active farmer throughout his life, running the family farm in Schaghticoke until his death. His proudest accomplishment, however, was his family. He was predeceased by his sister, Ruth Jean HEMSTREET BURTON, and his granddaughter, Emma Elizabeth DURRANT. He is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Aileen ALDRICH HEMSTREET; five children, Stana ISEMAN and husband Robert, Aileen DURRANT and husband John, Leslie ALLEN and husband Eric, Steven HEMSTREET and wife Joan, and Hollie MCNEIL and husband Michael; 17 grandchildren Robert, Nathan and wife Jeannie, Rebeckah, Christine, Susan, Scott, and John ISEMAN; Gregory and Alida DURRANT; Robin, Eben, Ethan, and Clayton ALLEN; Jacob HEMSTREET; and Alex Andrea, Sean, and Maxwell MCNEIL; and several nieces and nephews. Calling hours will be at the Stratton Air National Guard Base from 2 to 8 p. m. on Wednesday, January 23. A memorial service will be held at the base at 10 a. m. on Thursday, January 24. Mourners are asked to use the Maple Ave. entrance. Base security will provide directions for parking. After the memorial service on Thursday, Gen. Hemstreet will be buried with full military honors in Elmwood Cemetery in Schaghticoke. Memorial donations should be made to the Knickerbocker Historical Society, Inc., Box 29, Schaghticoke, NY 12154. (published 22 January 2008 in the Times Union newspaper of Albany, Albany County, NY;

HOGLE, Enoch Francis (1825-1914) - Enoch F. Hogle - A long-familiar figure and one of Mount Vernon's (Linn County, Iowa) patriarchal citizens, the oldest living citizen of the town, passed to his reward last Thursday with the death of Enoch F. Hogle. It was the close of a life which in spite of the weight of almost four score years and ten was bright and active to the end. It was also the conclusion of an allotted time on earth which was generally recognized as exceptionally well, usefully and worthily spent. With the general realization of a faithful and deserving servant gone to his reward is accordingly mingled the prized memory of an esteemed associate and fellow citizen. Enoch F. Hogle was born at Schaghticoke, [Rensselaer County] New York, May 8, 1825. He died at Mount Vernon, Iowa, May 1, 1914, at the age of eighty-nine years and thirteen days. He was married to Thankful S. Burch, of New York State, December 31, 1850, who died five years later. To them were born three children, only one of whom, the eldest, Mrs. C. G. Manchester, of Joplin, Missouri, is now living. He was again married March 25, 1856, to Isabella Winey. To this union were born ten children, five of whom still survive. Mrs. Jemima Botts, of Caldwell, Idaho; Dr. G. W. Hogle, of Mount Vernon; Mrs. Anna E. Streby, of Greely, and Stella M. Kepler of Mount Vernon. There are also now living forty grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. Eight years ago, on March 25, 1906, at their home in Mount Vernon, they celebrated their golden wedding. His companion passed away four years ago. He became a resident of Mount Vernon in 1891, having moved here from his farm near Vail, for the purpose of educating his children. He was the seventh child of a family of twelve children, all of whom have passed beyond, excepting his youngest brother, Charles Hogle of Ruport, Vermont. At eighteen years of age, he was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he ever remained a faithful and devoted member. To few, religion was more to a verity than to him. He knew that his Redeemer lived and that he would see Him. His lover for his bible was fervent and true, and he was happiest when reading its pages, or talking with his Savior. At least fifty-seven times he read from Genesis to Revelation, beginning January the first of each year. At the time of his death he was the oldest member of this church and also the oldest resident of Mount Vernon. His last illness dates from January, 1914, when he suffered an attack of pneumonia. After a long period of confinement he was able, on Mar eight, his birthday, to enjoy the beautiful day in the open air and to go to his own room, which he so much enjoyed. About a week later in a moment of dizziness he fell. He never fully recovered from the shock, and passed away at midnight, May twenty-first, at the home of his son, G. W. Hogle, where he had made his home for the past four years. The funeral services were held at 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon at the Methodist Episcopal Church in charge of the pastor, Rev. R. D. Parsons, a former pastor and long time personal friend of the decedent who delivered the memorial address. Favorite hymns of the departed were rendered by a quartet from the church choir. Five grandsons and a nephew acted as pall bearers. The interment following was in the family lot at the Mount Vernon cemetery. Besides the son, Dr. G. W. Hogle and family and the daughter, Mrs. Stella Kepler and family, of Mount Vernon, there were in attendance from out of town points, H. S. Hogle, of Greeley, Mr. and Mrs. Frank McLeod of Gault, Wm. Andre and John Harrison, of Manilla, Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Winey, of Milford; R. M. J. Winey and son of De Witt; Mr. and Mrs. Hall and Mrs. E. Homan of Cedar Rapids.

HOWARD, Wesley O. - WESLEY O. HOWARD, EX-JUSTICE, DEAD. - In 1920 Sought Republican Nomination for Governor - Injured in Auto Accident. - ENTERED POLITICS AT 21 - Served on Supreme Court Bench from 1902 to 1925, When He Resigned, Becoming Referee. - TROY, NY, May 11 (AP). - Wesley Otis Howard, former justice of the Supreme Court and in 1920, a candidate for the Governor of New York, died at his home here early today of a heart attack. He was 69 years old. He had been ill since an automobile accident on Dec. 1, when he received a broken leg and a fractured rib. He was apparently recovering and was in his usual good spirits yesterday. After graduating from Lansingburgh Academy, Justice Howard taught school for a while to earn the money he needed to continue his own studies. At 21, he was elected a Justice of the Peace of Grafton, his birthplace. In 1894, he was elected attorney for the Board of Supervisors of Troy, and from 1896 to 1902 he was District Attorney for Rensselaer County. Twice elected to the Supreme Court, he would have served continuously from 1902 to 1930, including the four years, 1913-17, of his designation to the Appellate Division, had he not resigned in 1925, because he found the salary of $10,000 insufficient. He was then appointed an official referee. At the Republican State Convention of 1920, Justice Howard received 126 votes on the first ballot, for Governor, being loyally supported by the Rensselaer delegates. He withdrew later, as the succeeding ballots indicated the triumph of Nathan L. Miller. In an article by the justice, published in The New York Times Sunday Magazine in 1923, entitled "Coming Overlordship of the Insects," he concluded with the paragraph: "Perhaps it is the scheme of nature that man shall ultimately surrender his place on this earth and give way to a superior intellect developing now, may be, in the insects that swarm about him." "The savage thinks of the Great Spirit, but cannot comprehend Him! - and the philosopher thinks about eternity, but cannot grasp it! - and who can? He wonders if there is a hereafter, but cannot determine that! - and theologians cannot. He asks how the universe came into existence, and nobody answers us. He is appalled at death! - and so are civilized men. He lives his life and runs his race and at last lies down to die! - and so do we all. Who can say that we are better off then, than he? Who knows? And if civilization makes us neither happier in life nor better off in death, is it worthwhile?"
