HENRY SHEAF HOYT, lawyer, born in New York City, died in Pau, Italy, March 18, 1891, in his seventy-second year.
His father was Goold Hoyt, a merchant of the early part of this century in this City in the East India and China trade, owner of ships, and one of the founders of The Merchants’ Exchange National Bank, besides being one of the vestrymen of Grace Church, who advocated moving the church to its present site on Broadway at 10th street, and interested in old St. Paul's Church, in Norwalk, Conn, where a monument has been erected to his memory by the parishioners. His grandfather was Gould Hoyt, of Norwalk, Conn.
Henry graduated from Columbia College, studied law under Judge Gould, of Litchfield, Conn, and practiced with success for a number of years. About the close of the war, he retired from business, and during his last ten years spent most of his time traveling abroad, returning to Newport in the summer time. He was a founder of the Union and a member of the Knickerbocker and New York Yacht clubs, of this city. Mr. Hoyt was married April 7, 1836, to Frances, a daughter of William A. Duer, L L.D., president of Columbia College, and a sister of Denning Duer, of New York. His wife survived him. There were no children.
