Life

In Emden, Hoos rented a room from the Harms family and met Gesine. They later married there. After an argument at work, he welded a metal door shut and was dismissed. An explosion destroyed an outdoor privy at his former workplace shortly afterward. Hoos was suspected of causing the explosion, but this was never proven.

Gerardus and Gesine later moved to Oberhausen. Their son Hendrik Hoos was born there on 16 January 1904. Their daughter Sybranda Hoos was born there on 16 September 1916.
