She was born October 3, 1904 at "Wheatland," the Hoge mansion which stood just east of Hoges Chapel in Giles County, Virginia. She was the sixth and youngest child of John Thompson Sayers Hoge and his wife and cousin, Florence Eliza Snidow, who was the daughter of Anna Eliza Hoge, of Montgomery County and her husband John Chapman Snidow. Isabelle inherited the Hoge family longevity, and, like her mother before her, she lived to see the year in which she was born, one century later. She attended the boarding school formerly associated with the the State Normal School for Women, in Radford, now Radford University. When the boarding school was dissolved in her senior year, she continued her studies at the college, class of 1924. She enjoyed attending her 75th and 76th college class reunions. While in school in Radford she began violin lessons, which she continued in Blacksburg and Lynchburg. In later years she played first violin in the local orchestra and occasionally for weddings. For a few years she taught grade school in Hoges Chapel (then known as Hoges Store) in a two-room school house that stood in what was called the "Kerr Field." In 1935 she married Boyd Harshbarger, a faculty member in the Mathematics Department at Virginia Tech, who later founded and served as head of the Statistics Department. She lived the rest of her life in Blacksburg with the exception of two years, June 1940 to June 1942, when she returned to, "Wheatland" to live while her husband was away obtaining his Ph.D. degree at George Washington University. She regularly entertained the faculty and students of the Statistics Department and established life-long friendships with them and with others involved in Statistics in other universities. For years she and her husband (and later she and her daughter) were known as formidable bridge opponents at the University Club duplicate games. She was a life-long Presbyterian and was the oldest member of the Blacksburg Presbyterian Church. Throughout her life she exemplified the graciousness, kindness, unfailing courtesy, and hospitality so characteristic of southern ladies in the Edwardian period of her birth.
