The news of the passing of this good man brings sorrow to the hearts of a large circle of friends and acquaintances throughout this section. Death resulted after a second stroke of paralysis which he suffered about the first of the year which left him practically helpless physically, but did not dim the splendid mental intellect. In his early days, Mr. Koch had a varied experience. He was a son of Herman and Matilda Koch and was born at Zelie, France, where his father was employed as a mining engineer, Jan. 19, 1840. He was the eldest of thirteen children. He was educated at Goettingen University, where he studied agriculture. In 1864, he went to Uruguay, South America, where he became assistant manager on a large sheep and cattle ranch. It was while serving in this capacity that he became acquainted with Johanna Carspecken, who was there as a companion to the wife of the manager of the ranch. In 1871, Mr. Koch returned to Germany and later the same year came to America, coming at once to Benton County, and purchased the farm which he still owns two miles southwest of Keystone, now occupied by his son Arnold, and where most of his life was spent. Miss Carspecken also returned to Germany, and after a short stay there, came to America and on Nov. 3, 1871, Mr. Koch and Miss Carspecken were married at the German Lutheran Church at Luzerne, and immediately took up life on the farm. To this union five children were born, all of whom are still living, and all were present at the obsequies at Marion yesterday. They are Mrs. Minnie Schenken and Mrs. Bertha Black of Marion, Mrs. Alma Lutes of Dubuque, Arnold J. Koch of Keystone and William Koch, who for a number of years lived in Canada but for the past few months has been at Marion caring for his father. <> The obituary in the Keystone Bulletin (see above) states the place of birht as Zelie, France. !NOTE: Pedigree Resource File CD 4; ; (Salt Lake City, UT: Intellectual Reserve, Inc., 1999); ; ; . !NOTE: Mathews2.FBK.FTW; ; ; ; , . .
