Uncle Troy, age 96 was laid to rest today beside his parents, John William Hoch and Lucy Jaeger Hoch. He and Aunt Mildred would have been married 75 years next month. They were married May 13,1939 in Yoakum. The last time Billy and I visited them in October at the Farm in Big Lake, he sat in his chair and she beside him in her wheelchair. They held hands and told us about the day they married. That afternoon when they left on their honeymoon, the car broke down right at dark.They spent their first married night in the car. The next morning when it was light enough to see, Uncle Troy fixed the car and they were on their way.
They were the parents of one daughter, Linda Lanelle Hoch. They moved to Houston County in 1949, where Uncle Troy along with his brother, owned and operated the Hoch Bros Gin in Grapeland, and Linda began school. Aunt Mildred managed the Gin office. The Gin was moved to St Lawrence in west Texas in the early '60s. Also in operation was another Gin near Taft, which was destroyed by Hurricane Carla. Linda finished school in this community. The remains of the old Gin still stand in Grapeland.
They both continued to operate the Gin until they retired. After retirement he continued to farm cotton and enjoyed traveling in their RV into his late eighties. Uncle Troy was a Deacon in the Baptist Church for 60 years. When they were no longer able to travel, they moved to Kerrville.
Uncle Troy was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Forest, Floyd and John Junior Hoch, and his nephew Donald Hoch.
