Century Memorial
The best Revolutionary stock was represented in Henry S. Hoyt, for he was a great-grandson of Chancellor Livingston and of Gen. Morgan Lewis, at one time Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the United States, and connected with the Hamiltons. Although he neither attained nor desired public prominence, all who knew him recognized his possession of the qualities which might be expected from such an ancestry. He was a graduate of Yale and a member of the New York bar, at which he held a most honorable position. He was a thorough gentleman, accomplished, refined, and graced with a perfect courtesy. Steadfast in devotion to a principle, faithful in his friendships, an ornament in the best society, he had a position second to none, and his untimely death is mourned by a large circle of friends, to whom he was endeared by his estimable and attractive qual[i]ties.
