He came to America in 1844, settling at Waukesha. In 1846 he married Miss MINNIE FRANKA, of Germany. They lived in Forest Junction, Appleton and Oshkosh till they came to Antigo in 1879, when this city had just begun to build. For a number of years he preached and did missionary work in the town of Norwood and other places near Antigo. His wife died last summer - June 15th. On last Sunday his remains were laid beside those of his faithful wife of more than half a century. They are survived by three of their eight children, Mrs. Simon Matheny of this city, Mrs. Julius Mundt of Milwaukee, and Frank Koch of Norwood. Mrs. Mundt and Mrs. James Greenwald of Milwaukee, and Matthew Irving of Oshkosh, attended the funeral, which was held at the M.E. church last Sunday p.m., Rev. F.A. Nimits officiating. Mr. Koch had been in feeble health for a year past, largely owing to old age. He was a good man and has gone to his reward. Antigo Daily Journal
