Obituary of Chloe Landon Hoyt
New York Observer
August 27, 1857
In New Haven, Vt., 10th inst., Mrs. Chloe Hoyt, wife of Jonathan Hoyt, esq., aged 75. Mrs. H. was a native of Salisbury, Conn. Her maiden name was Landon. Soon after her marriage, she came, in 1802, with her husband, to Vermont, and has been a resident in New Haven 55 years. She has been a member of the Congregational Church in this place 54 years, and among its most exemplary and devoted members, distinguished for her love of the truth, a spirit of prayer, and her liberality. For more than a third of a century, at least, she was in the habit of rising at 4 o'clock in the morning, in winter as well as in summer, for the purpose of reading her Bible and for communion with her Saviour in prayer. This fact, no doubt, contributed materially to the steadfastness and growth of her Christian course which eminently chracterized her. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.
