Description
Portrait of Ira Maynard Hottle wearing a jacket and tie.
Ira was from Columbia Furnace, near Edinburg. His parents were Joseph Manassas (1867-1931) and Hattie Arbulla (Emswiller) (1869-1946) Hottle. He was one of at least seven children.
When he registered for the WWI draft in 1918, he was working for his Dad on the family farm. On 29 January 1920, the Edinburg Sentinel newspaper reported that Ira Hottle “of Washington D.C.” was spending the winter with his brother, Lester Hottle”. The short notice did not provide details of what Ira was doing in D.C.
He married Catherine (Vann) (1906-1984) Hottle in 1927 in Woodstock. Both were living in Columbia Furnace at the time. Her parents were Oliver and Lucy Vann. In the 1930 and 1940 censuses, the couple were still in the Madison District with their daughter, Hazel. Ira was a laborer and worked in orchards.
When he registered for the WWII draft, Ira worked for the Standard Lime & Stone Company in Strasburg. He was described as being 5’1” tall and 130 pounds.
Ira lived a long life and when he died, his death certificate listed him as a retired laborer for the highway department.
