General Notes: Husband - Dr. Albert Martin Hoch


He attended the public schools of Chicora, Pennsylvania, Columbus, Ohio, Duff's Business College, from which he was graduated, and Webster Medical College, of Pittsburgh, from which he received his degree of Doctor of Medicine. He located for practice in Tarentum, and there remained until his death, when he was in enjoyment of a large and steadily increasing patronage, the direct result of his own efforts and the skill he displayed in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. He kept well informed along the line of his profession by membership in the County, State and American Medical associations. His death removed from the community not only a leading member of the medical profession, but a Christian gentleman whose influence for good was powerful and far-reaching, and who was ever ready to aid humanity to the best of his ability, counting not the cost to himself. He was a member of the Lutheran Church, as is also his widow. In 1906 Dr. Hoch erected the Hoch Block in Brackenridge, the building being seventy-three by eighty-three feet in dimensions, in which are located several stores, also the Organ Hunting and Fishing Club.
