In the Fall of 1869, Major Hotaling was appointed postmaster at Rochelle, and still occupies this office. In 1871 he went to Central America, leaving the post-office in charge of his wife, aud engaged in railroading under Henry C. Meiggs, re- cently deceased, but the climate being very sickly he returned after an absence of six months. About February 1, 1874, Major Hotaling was induced to visit the gold fields of South America, but returned after an absence of abont two months, hav- ing found the obstacles to be surmounted in gold mining in that climate too great to warrant him in pursuing the undertaking.
The reader will readily see that the life of Major Hotaling, so far, has been made up of more kinds than usually falls to the lot of one man, and few men are possessed of more indomitable pluck and energy than he, as his many successful under- takings amply testify.
