Fred Hottes

German immigrant and Idaho pioneer Fred Hottes (b. July 13, 1840, Darmstadt)[3][4] was a miner at the Franklin Camp in 1862,[5] and by 1864 he was an early resident of Idaho City.[6] Later that year Hottes was in partnership with John Kennaly in a hardware business in Boise City, although the partnership ended in 1865.[7] In 1893 Hottes was working as a mail messenger for the U.S. Post Office in Mascoutah, Illinois. He and his youngest son, Henry G. Hottes, purchased property in Grand Junction, Colorado, in 1901.[8] Hottes and other members of his family were living in Palisade by 1899.[9] Hottes returned to Boise with his son in 1908,[10] and in that year the Fred Hottes House was designed by Tourtellotte & Co.[11] The 7-room house was constructed at 509 Hays Street and completed in 1909.[12] Henry G. Hottes later occupied a house across the street at 508 Hays.[4] By 1913 Fred and Henry Hottes had returned to Colorado.

After returning to Colorado, Henry Hottes resided at the Henry G. Hottes House, a contributing resource to the North Seventh Street Historic Residential District in Grand Junction.[13]

The eldest son of Fred Hottes, Charles Frederick Hottes (July 8, 1870—April 15, 1966),[14] was a professor of botany at the University of Illinois.[3]
