OriginalNotes: ancestry.com, Hoff Message board, viewed 19 July 2013
Ahgenes posted on 6 Jan. 2004: John B. Hoff (1856-1906) was born in LaGrange, Indiana, and was a photographer in Angola from 1878 to probably the late 1890's, when he moved to Ohio. He had studios in Lorain in 1900, and in Delphos a little later.
AnnHoff, posted 8 Jan. 2004: I have not been able to locate John's records or photos. I don't even have a photo of him. You may be interested to know that John's brother, William L. Hoff (b. 1854, d. 1910-1920), was also a photographer. He had studios in Denison, Iowa, and elsewhere in Iowa. John's son, Charles (1887-1946), was a photographer for F. Schantz in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for some time, and before 1920 he opened Hoff's Studio there.
Ahgenes posted on 15 Feb. 2004: John's and William's parents were George Hoff (1826-1893) and Mary Berg (1832-1911).
