February 3, 1917 ******** Alton Democrat; September 1, 1923 T. HOXMEIER ALTON PIONEER BURIED Prominent in Business and Town Affairs for 41 Years--Raised Large Family On Saturday evening the sad news passed through our community that Mr. Theodore Hoxmeier, a pioneer business man of our town, had departed this life to the life of the great beyond where we all hope to meet again. Although the news did not come all unexpected, nevertheless it was a sad blow to all of us. For the past few months Mr. Hoxmeier was compelled to leave his duties to care for his health, but it was only for the past four weeks that we missed his pleasant and cheerful countenance. During this time he was confined to his bed suffering continual pain until death claimed him. Mr. Hoxmeier was born at St. Donatus, Iowa, July 21st, 1854. He received his primary education in the parochial school at St. Donatus from where he went to Mount Calvary to pursue his studies. From 1871 to 1874 he attended the Teacher's Seminary at St. Francis, Wisconsin, where he qualified himself for the noble and sacrificing work of teaching, which profession he followed for eight years in his home vicinity. On January 16th, 1878 he was married to Miss Mary Krier of St. Donatus, Iowa. In the month of October 1882 Mr. and Mrs. Hoxmeier moved to Alton, Iowa where in partnership with Mr. Mike Hoxmeier, now of St. Paul, Minnesota, established themselves in the general merchandise business. After partnership was dissolved he continued in this work until the time of his death. It is now forty-one years that "Hoxmeier's Store" has stood on the corner. He was a man not solely interested in himself, but heartily took part in the affairs of the town serving as the first town clerk. He was also a member of the town council for many years. He was a true citizen, loyal to his God and to his country. When he came to Alton he took an active part in the building of the Catholic church. His zeal for the honor and glory of God led him to organize the choir at St. Mary's church, he being the first organist. On Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock his remains were taken to St. Mary's church where a solemn requiem Mass was celebrated for the repose of his soul. His remains were laid to rest in St. Mary's cemetery. He is survived by his beloved wife and nine children: Michael T. of Los Angeles, Cal.; Dr. Nicholas T., St. Louis, Mo.; Sister Mary Claire and Sister Mary Jeanne of the Order of St. Francis, Dubuque, Iowa; Susan, Dominic T., Mary, Bernard G. and Clara at home. Besides his family he leaves to mourn his two brothers, Msgr. G. L. Hoxmeier of Lansing, Iowa and John Hoxmeier of St. Donatus, Iowa; and three sisters, Mrs. D. Krier of Emery, S.D., Mrs. Helena Goebel of Alton and Mrs. Frank Niemeyer of Elkader, Iowa.
