• Notes

  [schlotfeldt.FTW] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 6, Ed. 1, Tree #3710, Date of Import: Jan 30, 2001] 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.
