Note:

Henry HOCKMAN, the grandfather of Mrs. RITTENHOUSE, died in Northumberland, Northumberland Co., Pa., about 1840, and was buried there. He was married to Mrs. Catherine (MULL) DEIHL, the widow of Jacob DIEHL. She came from Shoemakersville, Pa., and four children were born to this union: John, deceased; Mary, deceased; Henry M.; and a child who died in infancy. Mrs. HOCKMAN was laid to rest in the Aulenbach cemetery, at Reading, Pennsylvania.

Henry M. HOCKMAN, son of Henry HOCKMAN, and father of Mrs. RITTENHOUSE, was born in Pottsville, Pa., April 8, 1838, and is now a resident of Centre township, Columbia county. As a lad he accompanied his parents to Northumberland county, and after his father's death went with his mother to Reading, where he attended school. Subsequently he learned the trade of cigarmaker and later went to Philadelphia, where he devoted himself assiduously to learning the machinist's trade, at which he worked for some time in the shipyard of James HOUSE. He remainded in Philadelphia some three or four years, and then went to Wilkes-Barre, Pa., where he opened a tobacco store and manufactured cigars, in 1862 moving to Berwick, where he continued in the same line of business until 1873. Subsequently he embarked in the bakery business, which he continued to follow until his retirement in 1912. His first marriage was to Emma MILLER, who was born April 13, 1840; daughter of Daniel and Catherine ((KIRLING) MILLER, and two children were born to this union; Sarah, Mrs. Rittenhouse; and Laura, who became the wife of M. G. SMITH, of Berwick. Mrs. RITTENHOUSE died in 1886, at the age of forty-six years, and Mr. HOCKMAN was married (second) to Mrs. Susanna (LEE) ENT, widow of Robert ENT, and daughter of Charles LEE. Mr. HOCKMAN is a Republican in his political views, and has been honored by his fellow citizens with election to various public offices, including those of councilman of Berwick, in which he served one year, and constable, in which he acted for a number of terms. With his family he attends the Methodist Church at Berwick, of which he is a consistent member; he has been a class leader and a teacher in the Sunday school. He is widely known and highly esteemed all over this section of Columbia county, now residing at Light Street, in Scott township.
