(The Harper family is associated with the reservoir that <br />they created in the 1890s that later become Harper Lake.) <br />In 1922, the heirs of John and Margaret Harper sold 80 acres of farmland to Frank <br />Hocheder, Sr. He had been born in Austria and came to the U.S. and to Louisville in <br />1908 under the name of Franz Hocheder. In 1910, Frank Hocheder married Louisville <br />resident Anna Gutfelder. She had been born in Bavaria, Germany to Austrian parents. <br />She came to Colorado with her family in 1880 and by 1881 they lived on La Farge Ave. <br />Following the deaths of Frank Hocheder in 1947, and Anna Gutfelder Hocheder in 1963, <br />the property passed to their son, Frank Hocheder, Jr. Frank Hocheder, Jr. lived there <br />with his wife, Agnes Clyncke, and their children Ronald, Patty, and Albert. <br />In 1981, the property was annexed into the City of Louisville. In 1983, the 80 acre farm <br />was sold to Columbine Homes with the family retaining ownership of the home. <br />Following the death of Agnes Clyncke Hocheder in 2011, ownership was transferred to <br />Shelley Kneebone. She is the granddaughter of Agnes and Frank Hocheder, Jr. and the <br />great-granddaughter of Anna and Frank Hocheder, Sr. <br />
