Excerpt from Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society, Vol. 24 George E. Hoadley in his early life followed mercantile pursuits. His later years were devoted to the home and to historical and antiquarian studies. He became a member of the Connecticut Historical Society on February 5, 1901, and later was elected a member for life. He had an exceeding fondness for the numerous and varied literary and antiquarian treasures that had been gathered by both his brother Charles and himself, and took great pleasure in exhibiting and explain ing these to his friends in the new home which he erected in his later life in West Hartford near the Hartford boundary line. There he passed away quietly surrounded by his treasures on November 21, 1922, in his eighty-sixth year. Neither of the brothers married. By the will Of Mr. George E. Hoadley, and by a further memorandum accompanying it, many Of his manuscript treasures became the property of the Connecticut Historical Society, thus adding to some which he had presented to the Society during his life. His will also made the Society the legatee of one-half of the residuary estate remaining after a number Of personal bequests. This considerable residuary legacy, together with a gift made during his life time, were for the specific purpose Of procuring a site if necessary and of erecting a fire proof building for the use and occupancy of this Society. These funds were invested in high-class securi ties when they were received, and with the addition of their increment and the rise in the values of stocks they increased rapidly. However, before the Society had arranged for the erection Of a building there came the sudden and violent drop in the values of securities, which has postponed for the present the erection Of the contemplated building, although the site for it has been secured.
