Robert Thomas Alexander Smith

This is a photo of Robert Thomas Alexander Smith. He was the youngest child of William and Eliza Craig (Bonnington) Smith. He married and divorced without having children. This photo was taken at the Hocker hunting camp in Perry County, Pennsylvania. I believe the infant may be Robert’s great-nephew.

Mary (Curran) Hocker and Ethel (Hocker) Allen

I  labeled this photo Mary and Ethel Hocker. Ethel Hocker was the daughter of Albert Curtin and Lillian (Leedy) Hocker. She married twice, first to Harry Thomas Allen and second to Wesley Edward Foster, Jr. I am presuming the Mary Hocker refers to Mary (Curran) Hocker, wife of Levi Ainsley Hocker and Ethel’s sister-in-law.

Martin Luther Hocker, son of Johannes and Elizabeth (Henry) Hocker, married Mary Ann Brindle 17 Oct 1850 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The couple later moved to Bourbon County, Kansas.
