SYLVESTER HOAG LOOKS COOL IN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK

sly hoag_0002This Cabinet Card features Sylvester Hoag posing for his portrait. Sylvester is looking quite cool in his overcoat and derby hat. Note the chain from his pocket watch. He has the appearance of a man waiting for something  or someone. He has a nice moustache. If he lived today, I bet he would be called Sly Hoag. This photograph comes from his sister’s Hoag family album.  His sister lived in Palmyra, New York. The photographer of the cabinet card is Pomeroy of Rochester, New York.
