    Koch. - David R. Koch was born Sept. 1, 1840; died Feb. 23, 1916; aged 75 y. 23 d. On Oct. 21, 1861, he was married to Elizabeth Reichert. To this union were born 12 children of whom 2 preceded him. He leaves a sorrowing widow, 6 sons, 4 daughters, a number of grandchildren, and many friends and acquaintances to mourn his departure. He united with the Mennonite Church early in life and remained faithful to the end. He was of a hopeful, cheerful disposition, and seemed to see the bright side of things. He always had a kindly smile for everybody, and his cheerful face will be missed in the home and in the church where he always attended regularly if health permitted. During the last few weeks of his life he suffered from a complication of diseases from which he patiently waited to be relieved, being ready and anxious to exchange mortal suffering for immortal glory.

    DAVID KOCH.

    His farm is near the outskirts of the village and is one of the oldest in the township, being known as the old Musselman farm, Mr. Koch was born. in Woolwich Township, on lot 34, German Company's Tract, in 1840. He comes down from good, old German stock, his father being born in Weinsberg, Germany, in 1801. The latter came to the New World in 1819, and in 1824, after a matrimonial alliance with Barbara, daughter of John and Susannah Reist, commenced house- keeping in the wilds of Woolwich, on lot No. 34. Here the parent stem flourished, and for a period of some sixty odd years they diligently labored toward the advancement of civilization, and reared a family of eight children. The father was ordained as a minister of the Mennonite faith in 1845, and until his death in 1889, he was a faithful expounder of the doctrines of that denomination. He had reached the ripe age of eighty-eight years-full of honors when the last summons came. His wife, who was born in 1801, followed him to await the resurrection, at the remarkably advanced age of ninety years.

    The son David, and subject of this sketch, was not reared in the lap of luxury in his younger days, and as the common phrase goes, had to "hoe his own row." He was married to Elizabeth Reichert. They have been blessed with twelve children. Despite having to face sickness and other misfortunes in his pathway through life, Mr. Koch has succeeded in reaching the top rung in the ladder of agricultural pursuits, and to-day is the happy possessor of four hundred and sixty acres of as choice land as you will find in the County of Waterloo. He is a practical farmer in every sense of the term. Yet, while he has accummulated all these acres in the face of adversities, he has enjoyed the bright side of life, and has not denied those around him the comforts which go to make life worth the living. Being of a jovial, good-natured disposition whenever you meet him, either in his own domicile or in public, has made him a very popular citizen in his neighborhood. Those who have occasion to sojourn under his roof are always shown that generous hospitality so typical of the average Pennsylvania- Dutch home, where the stranger or visitor is made to feel that he is one of the family. Mr. Koch, being now in the 58th year of his age, is still able to perform a good day's work, and every day, excepting the Sabbath, he will be found busily engaged on some portion of his estate. He does not confine his farming exclusively to the raising of grain, but annually turns out quite a number of fat cattle for export. In his stables at the time of my visit, were a number of very choice animals, which have already been sold for shipment to the British market. Mr. Koch will chat for hours upon subjects pertaining to agriculture, and it may be said that many profitable pointers are to be ob tained by embyro farmers from his well-balanced mind. Not only is he thoroughly versed in farming, but is an intelligent conversationalist on questions foreign to his adopted vocation.

    Notes:

    Rev. Ludwig Koch, "was born in Weinsberg, kingdom of Wurtenberg, Germany, July 19th, 1801. In 1819 he emigrated to America and in July of the same year he came to Chambersburg, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Here he was engaged in farming for three years, but not finding everything to his satisfaction he, in company with others, moved to Canada in spring of 1823. After being here for some time he formed an acquaintance with Barbara Reist to whom he was married in October, 1824. Shortly after their marriage they settled on lot No. 34, German Company's Tract, Woolwich Township, where they commenced in the bush. In a few years they had cleared a large part of their extensive forest farm and had erected thereon such buildings as were common in those days. Here they resided over sixty-five years. The farm is now owned by their son David. In July, 1845, Mr. Ludwig Koch was ordained to the ministry of the Mennonite denomination. His field of labor was Martins, Conestogo, and Elmira. He was sincere in his calling,and always directed the sinner to the cross where Christ suffered for him; and for the children of God he had words of consolation by reminding them of the Lord's words, "I am with you always", and "whatsoever ye shall ask in my name that I will I do". His kindness of heart and simplicity of manners endeared him to all classes who were acquainted with him. He died in September, 1889, and his wife who was born November 15th, 1801, died August 19th, 1890. To them was born a family of eight children"

    DAVID KOCH.

    His farm is near the outskirts of the village and is one of the oldest in the township, being known as the old Musselman farm, Mr. Koch was born. in Woolwich Township, on lot 34, German Company's Tract, in 1840. He comes down from good, old German stock, his father [Ludwig] being born in Weinsberg, Germany, in 1801. The latter came to the New World in 1819, and in 1824, after a matrimonial alliance with Barbara, daughter of John and Susannah Reist, commenced house- keeping in the wilds of Woolwich, on lot No. 34. Here the parent stem flourished, and for a period of some sixty odd years they diligently labored toward the advancement of civilization, and reared a family of eight children. The father was ordained as a minister of the Mennonite faith in 1845, and until his death in 1889, he was a faithful expounder of the doctrines of that denomination. He had reached the ripe age of eighty-eight years-full of honors when the last summons came. His wife, who was born in 1801, followed him to await the resurrection, at the remarkably advanced age of ninety years.
