John Hoster was born in 1842 in Seneca County, New York. At age 19, he enlisted in Company A of the 148th New York Infantry. Captured at Petersburg, Virginia, on June 15, 1864, John spent the next eight months as a prisoner of war at Andersonville and Florence.

On Christmas day, John wrote in his diary:

"Cloudy, disagreeable weather. Had barely time to dispose of our morning meal before we had to go to the other side of the creek to be counted again. Dull Christmas. One year ago today, I had the pleasure of sitting down to a fine roast goose with all the necessary accompaniments to make it both agreeable to the eyes and palate. This was in Corpl. Spaid's little house at Fort Norfolk, VA. After we had fully satisfied ourselves, Fred produced a box of segars and we enjoyed a pleasant smoke.

How different my circumstances then and now. For dinner today (eaten at dark), sweet potato soup and meal dumplings flavored with a small beef bone with a thimble full of fat that William procured through the kindness of Frank Cook, a friend of his that works outside.

It commenced raining tonight about dark. Three years ago tonight, Miss Clark, Miss Spaid, and myself spent the evening at John Spaid Jr. at Canoga and had a pleasant time."
