She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nicolas Koch, of Howick. On April 4th, 1898, she was married to Henry Geisel and the couple went to reside on the farm where Mr. Geisel still resides. For forty years the couple were residents of the district, never leaving the district. The deceased was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church and the Ladies Aid of the same church, where she took an active part in all church activities until her health did not permit further activity. Respected and beloved by a large circle of friends her passing is deeply regretted. Those left to mourn their loss are her husband, five sons, Norman of Elmira; Gordon, Pilkington; Clayton, Milton, and Allan, on the homestead; two daughters, Mrs. Hoelscher and Lorina.
