The photo post card is of Charles Hoose taken about 1925 on the Alley Hoot Road Athens Township, Pa.
Civil war papers of Frederick Hoose,
He was also known as Charles H Hoose (November 25, 1839 – February 12, 1927, buried in the Tioga Point Cemetery, Athens, PA with only a concrete pillar monument, no name). He records his birth date differently at various times just like his name. He was born Charles H Hoose, the son of George and Kathern Wandell Hoose in Athens Township, but did not report to serve when he was called under that name so he enlisted under Frederick C Hoose. My father was named Charles Frederick Hoose (born 1908) and his older brother Frederick Charles Hoose (born 1905) in honor of their grandfather’s usage of the name Frederick.
This family has resided in East Smithfield and Athens townships. All
the children were born in East Smithfield.
The spelling is as recorded
