Wordless Wednesday: Hocker Family Portrait
Albert Curtin Hocker family portrait taken presumably in the early 1900s.
Road to Hockersville
Two Hockers and a Hocker spouse at the Hockersville village road sign—I believe—in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania.

Photo: 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.
