Rev. H.H. Hocker Dies In California
Friday, May 24, 1957
Native of Monroe Dies Thursday at Age of 79

Relatives in this community have received word of the death of Rev. 
H.H. Hocker, 79, of Monrovia, California, which occurred at his home 
there on Thursday morning at 10:00 o'clock. Rev. Hocker was a native 
of Monroe.

He had suffered a stroke a few months ago, but his condition was much 
improved and his brother Charles E. Hocker of Decatur received a letter 
from him that was written the first of this week.  Death is believed 
to have been caused by another stroke.

Rev. Hocker was a graduate of Taylor university and before going to
California, he served as Methodist minister at Bluffton and Westfield. 
During later years of his pastoral work, he served as minister at the 
Hartzell Memorial church in Pasadena and The Church of the Good 
Shepherd, Methodist, in Arcadia, Calif. For about five years he has 
been minister of finance of the Methodist churches in southern 
California and Arizona.

Harvey H. Hocker was the son of Joseph and Justeen Hocker and is 
survived by his widow and three sons and two daughters; also a 
brother and sister: Charles E. Hocker of Decatur and Mrs. R.B. 
McKeeman of Fort Wayne.  Two brothers and a sister are deceased: 
John F. and Otis O. Hocker and Mrs. Mary Eldeena Oliver of Monroe.
