4. Harry Gill3 Hoffman I (Albert, #8)66 ; born 2 Apr 1877 at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, (although for many years he claimed he was 1 April [April Fool's Day]);67,68,69,70,71 married Virginia Waddy Grubbs (see #5), daughter of Thomas Higgason Grubbs and Mary Eliza Jarman, 23 Oct 1900 at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, in a ceremony performed by Christian Church Minister, Rev. H. D. Clarke;72,73,74,75,76 died 16 Jun 1956 at Mary Chiles Hospital, Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, at age 79;77,78,79 buried 18 Jun 1956 at Machpelah Cemetery, Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.80 He was also called "Pud." Harry Gill Hoffman I was educated circa 1890 at the public schools, Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.81 He and Virginia Waddy Grubbs were educated in 1892 at Major C. W. Fowler's Kentucky Training School (KTS) (which was later to become Kentucky Military Institute) located on North Maysville Street at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. A picture of the 1892 cadets shows him as Drummer. The picture appears to have been taken in the front yard of what eventually became the home of their son's father-in-law, Lee Orear.82 He was shown as age 19 on the school census of in Jan 1897 at Montgomery County, Kentucky.83 Harry Gill Hoffman I joined the family insurance business as an agent in 1899 at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.84

In 1906 at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, Harry Gill Hoffman I was an independent insurance agent with his own agency which grew into one of the largest agencies in the south. The first life insurance agent in Kentucky to write over one million dollars of business in the first six months, his agency was well-known in insurance circles throughout the United States, and he was placed at the top of more than 7,000 agents in the state by the Kentucky Commissioner of Insurance.⁸⁵ He contracted with a group of investors on 28 Mar 1910 to create "The H. G. Hoffman General Agency" of which he was General Manager with the main offices at Lexington, Kentucky, for the purpose of acting as agents for insurance companies and to act as agents in buying and selling real estate and other investments.⁸⁶ On 28 Mar 1912 James M. Bigstaff gave Harry Gill Hoffman I an option to purchase the property bounded by N. Sycamore, Winn, and N. Maysville Streets in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, (the option was never exercised).⁸⁷

For a short time during World War I, Harry Gill Hoffman I served as an Investigator, for the U. S. Treasury (War Risk Department), a fore-runner of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He served the State Insurance Department for a term as a collector of delinquent taxes. During the first twelve months of his tenure, he collected more than the entire department had collected in the previous 26 years. For this effort, he was appointed a Kentucky Colonel by Governor William J. Fields and was one of five charter members of the Kentucky Colonels Association.

After his father died on 6 Sep 1919, Harry Gill Hoffman I resigned from the business in Lexington and returned to Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, where he again joined the family insurance business with his brother, Jouett Miller Hoffman. He was an insurance agent on 1 Jan 1920 at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.⁸⁸ He appeared on the census of 1 Jan 1920 at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.⁸⁹ About 1931 at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, Harry Gill Hoffman I and Jouett Miller Hoffman decided to divide the family business with each taking a portion. He then opened the "H./T. G. Hoffman Agency" with his son, Thomas Grubbs Hoffman.

About 1920, Harry Gill Hoffman I and George C. Eastin, another local businessman jointly invented a one-hand clock. They applied and were awarded Articles of Patent for the invention. Similarly a patent was also awarded them for a burglar alarm for a travel bag or suitcase. What happened to the inventions as to manufacture and sale is not known. It is thought that the economics of the time caused them to discontinue any speculation about them. A contract he held for the manufacture and sale of a "civilian sam browne belt" may also have suffered the same fate.

When the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company was looking for a slogan for their Camel cigarettes, he submitted the slogan "I'd walk a mile for a Camel." About the same time, he suggested to the Phillip Morris Tobacco Company, the idea of having a hotel bell-man to "Call for Phillip Morris." Both companies used these ideas in their respective advertising campaigns for many years.^90,91

In 1932, Harry Gill Hoffman I resigned his commission as a Kentucky Colonel. In a letter of resignation to Governor Ruby Laffoon, he decried the promiscuous distribution of Kentucky Colonel commissions which he felt had destroyed any distinction the title once conferred. At the same time, Hoffman also sent a letter to former Governor Fields explaining that his action was not a reflection on the former governor, but was based purely on "abuse of authority for the issuing of such commissions used by our state's chief executives of the past few years."⁹²

During Feb 1932, Harry Gill Hoffman I planned and promoted the drive to raise $2,500 in two weeks for the Mary Chiles Hospital at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. Due to his efforts, the goal was reached within three days. Since this occurred during a time of financial depression throughout the United States, President Herbert Hoover sent a congratulatory telegram to Hoffman. (The hospital was begun in the former Bigstaff home on the property for which Harry had an earlier purchase option).⁹³

In 1937 the agency celebrated its 90th birthday, having been in business since 1847 when it was established by William Hoffman, grandfather of Harry Gill Hoffman I, with the agency receiving many letters of congratulations from people both locally and nationally. Three different judges on the Kentucky Court of Appeals publicly acclaimed him as "an authority on insurance." Over the years he was the General Agent for the state of Kentucky for Pacific Mutual Life Insurance and for Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance. He continued to be active in the insurance business until 1952 when he sold the business to his brother, Jouett Miller Hoffman I (the agency is currently still in business, the oldest agency west of the Allegheny Mountains, now operating under the name of Hoffman, Ison, and Greene").⁹⁴

Active in community affairs, Harry Gill Hoffman I was for many years President of the local Chamber of Commerce of Mt. Sterling and Montgomery County. Some of the projects attributed to his leadership were the establishment of the Mary Chiles Hospital as mentioned above, a country club, the Montgomery Hotel, and the organization of a building and loan association. He was also instrumental in getting streetlights installed on Main Street in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. At a later time, when the Mary Chiles Hospital was in financial difficulty, his leadership helped raise a fund that allowed the hospital to continue its valuable work. Not content to just work for improvements in the city, he led in the state of Kentucky as well as nationally in the effort for tobacco price stabilization. He also worked to reduce freight rates which were considered exorbitant at the time. He headed the "War Drive" sales of bonds during World War I, going "over the top" on every drive. He promoted the bond issues for paving the City of Mt. Sterling portion of U. S. Highway 60, and for promoting a bond issue for building a large addition to the Mt. Sterling City School.

Much of the time in these efforts, Harry Gill Hoffman I was by himself as related in the Lexington (Ky) Leader of 30 April 1942. The news article related that for nearly twenty years, Harry Hoffman was not only the president, but also "executive secretary, treasurer, director and member of the world's only one-man chamber of commerce." Having been elected president in 1920, the Chamber of Commerce seemed to be an active group with over 100 members. But in 1924, the membership began dropping. He tried to restore the enthusiasm; but met with litle or no success. After offering to step down as president, the members circulated a petition signed by more than 100 business firms asking him to continue as head of the organization. Eventually left with an organization with no members, no treasury, and no bills, he continued to work for the community.^95,96

Independent in business, Harry also maintained an independent attitude in politics. He was a member of the Blue Lodge of the Masons, and a member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).⁹⁷ In 1952, Harry Gill Hoffman I was nominated as the "Man of the Year" of the Mt. Sterling Kiwanis Club.⁹⁸

Following his retirement on 30 May 1952, Harry Gill Hoffman I moved his office to his home at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, where he kept abreast of community, state and national affairs until his death in 1956.⁹⁹

After a number of successful years, they decided to operate separate businesses. The hardware part of the business was re-named Orear Hardware Company and took over the first floor of the building in which they were operating. The furniture portion was re-named Chenault Furniture Company and was located on the the second floor. Lee Orear served his church, First Presbyterian Church of Mt. Sterling, Kentucky faithfully in many ways throughout his life including being Church Treasurer for many years. Active in community affairs, he served on the Board of Education of the Mt. Sterling, Kentucky City Schools for many years. In later years, a funeral director in Mt.

A story told about William Hoffman during his boyhood goes like this:

"The "Mt. Sterling Light Infantry" was a military company that existed and flourished in the very early 1800s. It may have been organized before the War of 1812 and engaged in the battles of that war. It was complete with arsenal, uniforms, and band, and was viewed with pride by the local citizens.

"Sometime between the years 1825 and 1830, a soldier of that company died and was buried with the honors of war. It was the first time some of the little boys of the town had ever seen soldiers render honors to the deceased by shooting into the grave as was the custom then. So on returning home from the funeral, they discussed at some length the reason for the shooting. It seems that young Will Hoffman had the answer. He said the reason for the act was that the man was not quite dead when they put him in, and that they shot through the dirt into the coffin, so that he might not "scratch out". The rest of the boys seemed satisfied the young Will was correct."⁴⁸⁶

           Elegiac Stanzas

To the memory of Mrs. Wm Hoffman

Farewell to thee, death's sombre wing
O'er thee its shade hath thrown,
Thy deathless spirit wings its flight
From darkness to celestial light
Where suffering is unknown.

Around thy still beloved form
Thy loved ones gather near
The tearful eye the bosom swell
Bespeaks grief too deep to tell
Save by the silent tear.

No need of monumental urn
Or sculptured column nigh,
To herald to the world thy deeds
Of charity unswayed by creeds
They are registered on high.

A living green will deck thy grave
On each returning spring
And flowers will shed their sweet perfume
Like holy incense o'er thy tomb,
While birds thy requiem sing.^553,554,555

He came into ownership of the Olympia Springs resort probably after the death of his father-in-law, George Lansdowne, in 1851. One account is that it was bequeathed to him and his wife in her father's will. Another story is that he won the resort in a poker game with Henry Clay. In any case, he had managed the resort for a number of years prior to his acquiring it. He afterward built many small cabins or guest houses. There was a central dining room to accommodate the guests, and during Gill's tenure prior to the Civil War, Olympia Springs was the probably best known resort in the South as well as being well-known in the the remainder of the country.

It was at the Olympian Springs Tavern, being operated by Harrison Gill, that two intoxicated young men arrived too late for dinner. Realizing that Gill was within hearing distance, one reverently bowed his head and prayed:

"Oh, thou Giver of the fowls and fishes,
Look down upon these empty dishes,
And with the power thou did'st fill them,
Bless both of us, but damn old Gill."
