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"

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.
