Levi Hocker (1824—1876)
Levi Hocker, son of George and Mary Magdelana (Landis) Hocker, was born 17 Jan 1824 and died 31 Oct 1876 in Swatara township, of a suicidal drowning. He went missing on 31 Oct 1876 and his body was found the following spring floating in the water at Fry’s dam. He was buried the following 29 April 1877. It is believed that the young deaths of two of his sons, and the mental instability of a third, prayed heavily on him and led to his suicide.

JosiahHocker and wife
Josiah HOCKER, son of Johannes W. and Elizabeth (HENRY) HOCKER married Amanda Catherine HAMILTON, possibly the daughter of William and Elizabeth (___) HAMILTON on 30 Dec 1852 in York Springs, Pennsylvania. Amanda died in 1877.
Josiah married second Martha J. (___), probably in Cumberland county sometime between 1877 and 1880. In 1886, Josiah moved—with some of his family—to Maywood, Nebraska, then to Atchison, Kansas, and later Lincoln, Nebraska.
Given their approximate ages, this photo is most likely NOT Josiah and Amanda, but Josiah and Martha, his second wife.

John B. Hocker, wife and children
I’ve labeled this photo at John B. Hocker and wife. I’m not sure if it’s John Benjamin Hocker or his son John Buser Hocker. I think it’s likely John Buser Hocker and his wife Lenise (Hall) Hocker and their two children Mabel and Donald Hall.
