Following from "HISTORY OF WABASH COUNTY" (1884) Iq 977.201 w112 1971 cop.3 p367 (Ind. Historical Society Gen. Library): SAM(P)SON HOCH (description based on year of 1884) This gentleman was born in Cumberland County, Penn., December 22, 1828, second son of George and Mary (Kitzmiller) Hoch, natives of Pennsylvania, and of German descent. Attended the common school, receiving a fair education. Brought up to farming, he remained at home until twenty-three years of age, when he came to Ohio in 1852. He worked at farming in that State for three years, afterward removing to Pennsylvania, and from thence coming to Indiana in 1864. In May (14), 1857, he was united in marriage with Miss Catherine Foreman, born in Cumberland County, Penn., March 16, 1836 (family records show 1835). Her father, the veteran Mr. Foreman, is living in her native county at the age of eighty-four years. He is a hearty old gentleman, and a good prospect of living several years more. Mr. Hoch came to Indiana in the spring of 1864, conducting the farm now owned by Abram Leedy. The following year he purchased the Shea farm, upon he lived seven years. At the time of purchasing by Mr. Hoch, it was wild, but has been improved and cultivated, until it is now one of the finest farms in LaGro Township, containing 137 acres. Mr. Hoch bought the place upon which he resides in 1870. It contains thirty-five acres of bottom land, highly cultivated, upon which is a fine brick mansion and large bank barn, that for neatness and convenience are unsurpassed by any in Wabash County. An accurate view of the premises just described will be found in another part of this work. Mr. Hoch has a large farm in Huntington County, which he also conducts. Mr. and Mrs. Hoch are the parents of seven children, none of whom have as yet left the parental roof. Their names are as follows: David, George, Benjamin, Mary(Mazzie), Birdie(Blanche), Estelle (fam-Estella) and Gilbert (note: Ida, Anna, Ivy died young). This enterprising and industrious gentleman has been singularly unfortunate by losses from fire. In 1872, a large barn and its contents were distroyed by the devouring element, and on April 5, 1883, he lost a good frame house in the same manner. But nothing daunted by these misfortunes, he persevered and toiled on until he has accumulated enough property to maintain himself and family the remainder of their days, providing no unseen misfortune overtakes them. Mr. Hoch owns a half interest in the Dora Flouring Mill and Saw Mill, situated in that village. His partner, Martin Kesler, is an experienced Miller, and manufactures a superior grade of flour. Mr. Hoch is deservedly popular, and surrounded by a large circle of friends, who are pleased to see him prospering, knowing that he is reaping the reward of honesty and faithful toil. Sam(p)son, second son of George, built a grist mill on the Salamonie River near Dora. His German-style brick home was demolished to make way for the Salamonie Reservoir. According to 1900 census Sampson & Catherine were living apart and likely divorced. --------------------------------------------------------- Suggested edit: Fort Wayne Sentinel July 13, 1909 Sampson Hoch, once a wealthy farmer, died Saturday night in the Wabash county infirmary, where he had been an inmate since 1893.
