August and Henriette Joch
shortly after settling in the Hatchville area in the early 1880s. |
My great-grandfather and great
grandmother, August and Henriette Joch (Name is spelled Yock in Dunn
County News obits) emigrated from Germany in abt 1880, and settled on
the Dunn-Pierce County line. They are buried in the German Lutheran
cemetery at Hatchville/Spring Brook. According to census records, they
couple had seven children. All I believe were daughters, and I have
been able to account for three of them.
-- Anne Amelia, who married
William Moritz. They had six children and I believe some of the Moritz
family still lives in the Menomonie area. (girls married into Fuhrman
and Podoll families)
-- Augusta, who married into the
Bierman family of Milwaukee.
-- Whilhemina (or Mina or Minnie).
My grandmother who married Andreas (later Andrew) Hintz and settled
with him in Menomonie at the age of 18 (1885). According to the 1900
Census, he was a brickmaker, working in the Menomonie brickyards. They
had four children who lived to adulthood. All were born in Menomonie.
Frank (1886-1965) Married Martha
Steffen (1881-1971) of Menomonie 1907. Lived there his entire life,
last few years on bluff above Sanna dairy. Worked for Milwaukee
Road.
One son, Lloyd (1908-1948) who
lived in Milwaukee.
Andrew (Andy) (1894-1980) who
left Menomonie as a teen-ager and moved to Tacoma, Washington.
Arnold (1903-1933) A Downs
syndrome child institutionalized in his teens. He died at the northern
colony in Chippewa Falls.
Fred (1908-1966) My father.
I believe another Joch daughter
married a Henkel and stayed in the Spring Brook area. Dad also referred
to aunts with the last names of Pohl, Zeitler and Phillips. The 1900
census lists August and Henriette Joch, but no one else living with
them. It also says she had seven children. From what I can determine,
the family lived in Menomonie until about 1910 when they (and other
Menomonie families) moved to Tacoma. Andrew, Mina and Fred returned in
about 1919 to moved to Cornell when August was employed at the new paper
mill there.

This picture probably taken in the spring of 1907
was of the Dunn Co. Normal School Class of 1906-07. Evelyn Murphy later
Mrs. Henry P. Schoeder is located in the back (top) row, the second
woman from the right hand side of the photo. Anna Schoeder, later Mrs.
Harcourt Weaver, was probably also in this picture. Anna was the
daughter of Henry Schoeder of Eau Galle and the sister of Henry P.
Schoeder.
