Wet Mountain Tribune, December 13-14, 1901

Frederick Koch

Fred Koch died Monday morning, December 9 [1901] at his residence on the corner
of Greenwood and 7th, of a complication of diseases from which he has been a
sufferer over a year.  His age was 68 years.  He was born at Frankfort on the
Main [Breitenborn], Germany, and came with his wife and four boys to America in
1868 [1867], and lived for three years in Chicago.  In 1871 they came to
Colorado and joined a German colony in Wet Mountain Valley where they remained a
year and then came to Canon City, which has since been their home.  Mr. Koch as
accumulated considerable property, owning two cottages on Greenwood Avenue,
three on Seventh and two on Harrison, a house in South Canon and a ranch at
Texas Creek.  He put in the foundation of the First Presbyterian Church and has
always taken a great interest in that organization, and at his request burial
services were conducted from there.  

Deceased had many friends in this county, who will receive the news of his death
with sorrow.  The widow in Canon, a most worthy lady, and the sons living in
this county, Frederick [1861-1933], Conrad [1857-1940], Peter, [1859-1941] and
August [1866-1941] have our sympathy in their hour of sorrow.
