He was born June 19, 1840 at Zelle, France. His parents were Germans but his father, a mining engineer, at that time was stationed at Zelle. The family returned to Germany when Adolph was three years old. Dr. Koch died several years ago. He attended the grade schools in that country and then the University at Goettingen from which he was graduated after having specialized in agriculture. In 1864 he sailed for Uraguay, South America, where he became assistant manager of a large ranch. It was while here that he met Johanna Carspechen of Hanover, Germany who had come to Uraguay to accept a position as companion to the wife of the owner of the ranch. In 1869 Mr. Koch returned to Germany and in 1871 came to Iowa, settling on a farm near Luzerne, which he bought. That same year he wrote to Miss Carpeschen to come to Iowa. She returned to Germany to visit her relatives and then came to the Hawkeye state. She and Mr. Koch were married Nov. 3, 1871 in the German Lutheran church at Luzerne. The family went to Marion from Keytstone in 1917. To this union five children, all whom survive, were born. Those who mourn his death are: the widow, Mrs. Minnie Schenken and Mrs. A.B. Black of Marion; Arnold of Keystone; William of Weyburn, Saskatchewan, Canada, and Mrs. Neil Lutes of Dubuque. A nephew, Herman Koch, who lives near Central City, also survives. Funeral services will be conducted at 8 p.m. Tuesday from the home, the Rev. Harry Glenn Finney of the Marion Presbyterian church, officiating. On Thursday the body will be taken to Keystone, where final services will be held in the German Lutheran church and burial will be made.
