Death Mozes Hochter

Life, Death

May 12, 1845

Mozes Hochter was born on May 12, 1845 as the second child and son of Samuel Hochter and Elsbeth Silbers on the Hochter farm. Initially, his birth went smoothly compared to that of his older brother, Herman. However, it later became apparent that the baby was breech. Two doctors rushed in to help deliver the baby. After several hours, Mozes was born, but unfortunately, he died shortly afterwards. His mother was heartbroken and fell into a long depression. She became extra protective of her family, and the death of her second child cast a long shadow over the family. The baby was posthumously named Mozes and buried at the local cemetery in Lutheria.
