Colusa Sun Herald Saturday February 17, 1912 Pg 1
Last Friday afternoon Feb. 16th at his home on the east side, surrounded by his 
family. Henry Hochstrat, pioneer, farmer and friend passed away from earth 
leaving wife, children and friends to mourn for a good husband, father and 
neighbor. He had been ill for some time and though all felt, that he would not 
recover, the end came unexpectedly. His wife had gone to rest for a while 
and was sleeping and all was quiet in the house, when he suddenly, painlessly 
breathed his last. He seemed to suffer not at all. Henry Hochstrat was born at 
Rapsdorf, Munster Co., Germant, November 1823. He was therefore 88 last 
November. Arriving at New Orleans in July 1844, he went thence to Missouri. At 
Westphalia in that state October 25th, 1858, he married his wife, who was born 
at Istrup, near Braker in Westphalia, Germany, Dec. 8th 1827. Her name was 
France Gollner, and she had come from Westphalia, Germany with her parents. 
They came here from Missouri in 1874. they settled on the little farm three 
miles above town, where they have since resided. On the 25th of October, 1903, 
their home was thrown open to family and a few friends for the celebration of 
their Golden Wedding. The house was joyously crowded with their children and 
grand children and the few friends who remember the occasion with great 
pleasure.
