DOUBLE SADNESS IN HOCH HOMES
John F. Hoch Called Few Hours After His Niece, Mrs. Ruth Benner
Death struck twice in the Hoch family during the week end, claiming John F. Hoch, well known Winamac business man, early Saturday morning, a few hours after the demise of his niece, Mrs. Ruth Benner of Indianapolis, who was taken suddenly ill while here on a visit in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Hoch.
John Hoch had been in critical condition for more than a week from a bowel trouble, which an operation revealed to be due to adhesions. He rallied somewhat after the ordeal but grew gradually weaker Friday and Friday night.
He was seventy years of age on August 1, and spent his entire life here in the community of his birth. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Israel Hoch. In 1889 he was married to Miss Etta Zellers, who survives, as do their four children – Verne Hoch of Elkhart, Herbert of Winamac, Mrs. Floy Hetzel of Long Beach, Calif., and Mrs. Farrell Sabo of Gary. He leaves one brother, William Hoch of Winamac, and one sister, Mrs. Polly Border of Long Beach, Calif.
A few years after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Hoch moved from a farm to Winamac, where he engaged in the livery business, with which he was long identified. With the coming of the automobile he changed to the garage business. Later he and his son Herbert established the hardware business which bears their name. He held a well founded reputation for honesty and progress in his business dealings, and was esteemed by myriads of friends. Some years ago he served as town councilman, and was otherwise interested in home affairs.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the home on North Market street, conducted by the Rev. J. J. Meyer. Burial was in the Winamac cemetery.
