.HOCH KNOWN HERE
Attends Saengerfest al Davenport
in 1893 and Makes Mar
rage Proposals.
TWO WOMEN REMEMBER HIM
ealthy Widow Turns Him Down and
Then He Pays Court to Dress
maker.

Rock Island and Davenport citizens
will take a greater interest in the pro-
ceedings against Johann Hoch, the
low famous bigamist, from the fact
that some years ago he was in Dav-
export with a company of Chicago
singers, and while there made attempts
o win the affections of two Davenport
women II was during the Saenger-
Test in 1898, which was attended by
Jolly companies of singers from all
parts of the northwest -
HOch came down with party from
Chicago. and while the others made
efforts to secure hotel aCcOmmoda-
tons. he asked for private boarding
for the week. and rented rooms from
a widow. Mrs. Schreiver, of Third and
Ripley streets He was a very at
tractive fellow and bright and pleasant
about the home. He tried to win the
affections of Mrs. Schreiver. who had
property worth about $4,000.
Turns to StepdauEhtcr.
In this he failed, and realizing his
failure, he began paying attentions TO
Mrs. Schreiver's stepdaughter, Miss
Hannah Schleuter. who still resides
in Davenport. and conducts a dress
making establishment in the Inter
den Linden apartments. He was
more successful with the mod;ste
and had it not been for the objections
of Mrs. SChreiver. Miss SchlueteT
might now be included in the list of
Hoch's victims. She found Hoch very
agreeable. but by that time the step
mother began to be suspicious, and
protested vigorously. Her objection
prevailed and Hoch returned to Chi
cago unsuccessful in his attempt to
secure a Davenport wife.
This Davenport Saengerfest was one
of the great events of Davenport
Turner history, and the records were
well preserved They show Johann
Hdch's registration, and his boarding
place during the week of the festival.
Mrs. Schre.vcr died some years ago.
but Miss Schluctcr when questioned
by friends remembered Hoch well, and
told of her experiences with him.
Pictures Are Recognized.
He was such a prominent inquire
among the Chicago company that he
was remembered readily by Prof.
Theodore r. Reese, of Davenport, who
directed the choruses of the festival
at that time. Hoch was fond of Rock
Island, and several times during the
week he spent at Davenport he was
