Hans owned the Denker Hotel & Saloon in Eldridge, Iowa. Pictures
and articles of these landmarks are featured in the Eldridge Centennial
book. The original hotel went down in the tornado and was rebuilt
in 1908. The whole family worked in the facility. Bill & Ray worked
as bartenders when they were old enough. Mae (Amanda) was a great
cook and learned the art when preparing their family style meals.
The hotel was still operating as a family style resturant in the late 1940s.
It was still there in 1986 when grandson Fay Schlotfeldt delivered some
old photos to the Wiese family who had put togeather the Centennial book.
The depression and relocation of a highway, which the townsfolk didn't
want close to town, caused sale of the business in about 1929. (After the
crash). Hans lived with his youngest daughter Selma and husband
Ernest at 310 E. 15th St, Davenport at the time of his death at age 73 (May '34). He enjoyed pulling Grandson Fay in his wagon or on his sled. Fay
remembers sitting on the living room floor playing with blocks and seeing
his granddad fall while shoveling a skiff of snow off the front porch. He
called his dad who ran out to help him. Hans died of the result of a stroke.

A land deed in possession of Fay E. Schlotfeldt, Rio Verde Arizona in 1996,
was given to him by his mother, Ernestine's daughter. It is dated 1899,
and identifies three of Ernestine's aunts and uncles (siblings of her father
identified here as Unk Sievert) by it's wording. e.g. "We. etc."
"...deed this property to our niece, Ernestine Denker. dated 1899, Caldwell
County, Missouri.

This deed is signed by Fred E. Seafert, wife Margaret, Nettleton, Mo.
Ernest Seafert, wife, Cornelia, Nettleton. (Note spelling variation). and

another with a young woman we assume to be a sister.
