Narrative

[Obituary for John Hoeft, from the Oconomowoc Enterprise, 17 Jul 1975.]

John Hoeft, 80, of 723 S. Main St., died Saturday at Oconomowoc Hospital. A family service was held Tuesday at 10 a.m. at Notbohm Funeral Home and burial was in Monterey Cemetery. The Rev. Ronald Stoner was the officiant.

A Watertown native, he was born March 19, 1895 to Frank and Amanda Schoen Hoeft. He married the former Rosalie Schwarz on Feb. 7, 1917 in Oconomowoc. A former shipping clerk at Waukesha Motor Co., Hoeft was later employed by the city of Oconomowoc as the City Sealer of Weights and Measures. He was a member of Dr. Martin Luther Church.

Hoeft is survived by his wife, two sons, Dr. Irwin (Mae) and George (Rosalie) of Waukesha. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Paul (Florence) Shutt, Onalaska; and five grandchildren.

A brother, Henry, and his parents preceded him in death.

Visitation was held at the funeral home after 4 p.m., Monday and memorials to Memorial Hospital at Oconomowoc are suggested.

Narrative

Note: Family of John Joseph Hoeft

There are only three Hoefts buried in Monterey Cemetery in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin - John J. (b. 1895, d. 1975), presumably his wife Rosalie (b. 1897, d. 1993), and also presumably his son John A. (b. 1918, d. 1918). I still need to confirm the family connections, as well as look to see if John and Rosalie had further children. If they did, they are either buried elsewhere or are daughters buried under married names.

ADDENDUM: It appears John and Rosalie had two surviving sons, Irvin or Irwin (b.1919) and George (b. 1920), both of whom enlisted in the Army in WWII. Additionally, Irwin appears to have married, had children, and had a medical license, and may still live in Oconomowoc.

I have assumed the infant John is the son of John and Rosalie; this may require some confirmation.

SECOND ADDENDUM: A clipping from the Dodge-Jefferson Counties Genealogical Society files, which appears to be labeled 1 Nov 1918 from the Oconomowoc Enterprise, contains an obituary for a one-week-old infant son born to Mr. and Mrs. John Hoeft. While the child is not named in the clipping, this is almost certainly John A. Hoeft noted above and buried in Monterey Cemetery along with his parents.
