The following is  a correspondence with a German researcher sent to Thomas Koch.
Trier-Ehrang,  4 April 75
Mr. Thomas Koch
1315 E. Holmes St.
Janesville, Wis.  53545

Dear Mr. Koch!
Thank you very much for your correspondence of 3 March.  I had been traveling for two 
weeks and found your letter when I returned yesterday.  I shall answer it immediately.
In my book "The America-Emigration From The Saarburg District" I have found recorded the 
emigrant Peter Koch, his wife Maria Staudt and the children with their birthdates.  
The family at that time was living in Wehr, and this place belongs to the parish of 
Palzem (not Peilzen).
In my book it states:
Continuing
Number
778	The day-laborer Peter Koch, 47 years old,
with his wife Maria Staudt, 40 years old,
and the children
Peter, born 29 Nov. 1841		Anna, born 5 May 1854
Johann, born 14 May 1844		Elisabeth, born 18 March 1856
Michael, born 20 Dec. 1848		Wilhelm, born 12 March 1858
Mathias, born 5 Oct. 1851		Johann, born 28 Sept. 1859
Heinrich, born 4 Sept. 1861

by way of (Le) Havre to North America.
"so that he might secure his future through earnings from a farm".
2 October 1862				3000 Talers
That's as far as the section from my book goes.
Peter Koch had at his disposal over 3,000 Talers available cash, that is 9,000 Marks 
and that was for that time a small fortune.  The high amount of available cash proves 
the Peter Koch had auctioned off all his property before his departure.
The date 2 October 1862 is the date of the release document, preserved in the state 
archives in Koblenz.  Koch also probably emigrated to the U.S.A. a short time later, but 
surely still in October.  You now have the exact birthdates of the children of the 
Koch-Staudt marriage, and you also know the exact city of residence of the emigrant, 
namely Palzem.
It would make me very happy, if, on a trip to Germany, you would visit us here.  I have 
already welcomed many Americans in my home.  Unfortunately I do not speak your language, 
and that is a disadvantage.  But right across from me lives a woman who understands 
English, so an understanding will be possible.
With the best greetings
from the old homeland
Mergen

In the office of the Register of Deeds, Manitowoc County, WI, a warranty deed was 
registered on May 26, 1875, indicating the purchase of the Koch farm from Franz

death came as a relief. Physisians (sic) say her heart became 
affected as a result of poisoning which she contracted three years 
ago. Since then the deceased had never regained her normal health. 
Besides her parents three brothers and three sisters suvive. They 
are: Joseph, John and Peter Jr., and Marie, Elizabeth and Rosalie. 
The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock Monday from St. Joseph's

CAROL KOCHAN   cemetery #38

CHILD KILLED, SEEK CAR DRIVER
CAROL KOCHAN, 13, IS KILLED AT FRANCIS CREEK
Girl Sustains Fractured Skull When Hit by Car of Vampire Driver; Dies Within an Hour

A hit and run driver who fled from Francis Creek early last night after striking 
down and fatally injuring Carol, the 13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben 
Kochan of that village, is being saught by authorities of this and surrounding 
counties today. Only a meagre description of the car, said to be a large sedan, 
was furnished to the authorities by a young friend who was the only person in 
the vicinity at the time of the accident.
Miss Kochan died at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hessel, 
at about 8 o'clock after living with a fractured skull for about an hour after 
the accident. She never regained consciousness following her being picked up at 
the side of the road.
Saw Approaching Car
Belief that the girl saw the oncoming, rapidly-driven car was expressed by her 
parents who said that the child was walking south on the east side of the 
highway when she was struck. She was en route to her home, about one-quarter 
of a mile south of the place where the accident occurred, and was planning to 
return to the St. Ann's school later to take part in a play given by students 
of the school there. The impact of the collision was heard by Marcella Blimel, 
her companion of the afternoon and who left the home of the parish priest, Rev. 
Joseph Rauch, with her after the two had assisted the housekeeper in making 
final preparations for the play in the evening. The Blimel girl was walking 
north toward the school and when she heard the noise of the collision she ran 
to the side of the victim. She fell and severely bruised her face and hands 
and then mainly tried to lift Miss Kochan. Finding herself unable to help or 
carry the girl, Miss Blimel hastened to the home of the priest and he with 
others removed the girl to her grandfather's home across the street.
Car Never Halted
Miss Blimel told Sheriff Carstens that the car had not halted after striking 
the Kochan child but continued on its way north. She was unable to state what 
type of car it was but said that it was a large close automobile traveling at 
a high rate of speed. The car did not swerve to the side of the road after 
hitting its victim and belief has been expressed that the driver was unaware 
that he had struck a pedestrian.
Was Rockwood Student
Miss Kochan recently graduated from the St. Ann's parochial school at Francis 
Creek and was a member of the freshman class of the high school, Rockwood. 
She was born in the town of Kossuth in September, 1918, and spent her entire 
life in the immediate vicinity. She was a popular girl and was active in 
church and school affairs, being a member of the Young Ladies Society of the 
St. Ann church.
Besides her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Kochan, she is survived by three sisters, 
Florence, Marion and Delores, all at home.
Funeral Wednesday
Funeral services will be held from the St. Ann church Wednesday morning at 
10 o'clock with the Rev. Joseph Rauch officiating. Interment will take place 
at the church cemetery.
To Hold Inquest
Coroner W.G. Kemper announced at noon today that an inquest would be held at 
the court house here tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. The corner's jury 
consisting of Jack McConnell, A.F. Rank, George Schadeburg Sr., Otto A. Vogel, 
Hugo Menzel and Raleigh Schmitz was drawn this morning and viewed the remains 
at the Pfeffer Funeral Home bfore adjouring until the time for the taking of 
testimony.

CATHERINE KOCHAN   cemetery #47

HEART ATTACK CAUSES SUDDEN DEATH AT RAPIDS, Mrs. Kochan Stricken Early 
Today and Dies Within Few Minutes, Was Well Known Resident of Co.
Death came to Mrs. Peter Kochin suddenly at her home at Rapids early 
this morning, an attack of heart failure ending her life while she 
conversed with her husband and was in apparent good health. Mrs. Kochan 
had been in poor health for some time past, suffering from affection of 
the heart, but her condition had not been considered alarming. The 
family arose as usual early this morning and Mr. and Mrs. Kochan were 
in conversation when suddenly the attack seized her, she breathed 
heavily and in a few seconds had passed beyond earthly aid. News of 
the death of Mrs. Kochan was a great shock to a large circle of friends. 
Born on June 11, 1860, Mrs. Kochan was 58 years of age at her death. 
She had resided at Rapids for many years and was widely known in that 
section and in this city. She is survived by her husband, three daughters 
and three sons. One son, John Kochan, has been at Camp Hancock, Augusta, 
Ga., but has just left there, probably to embark for overseas and 
messages informing him of his mother’s death cannot be delivered and he 
will probably not learn of his loss until he arrives across the sea. The 
funeral of Mrs. Kochan will be held on Saturday at 9:30 o’clock from St. 
Joseph’s church at Silver Lake.

provided to Clarence for the past two years, and Cascade Hospice 
Services for their care shown in his final illness.
Clarence was a man who always had good stories to tell, but just 
as importantly, he knew how to be a good listener. He enjoyed 
company at the farm, and always took the time to lay under a 
shade tree and visit for a few minutes before heading back to 
the fields.
He was a kind and generous man with an unerring sense of right 
and wrong. He taught his children, and in turn, their children, 
the value of a hard day's work.
He had an unconditional love for his family, especially the 
little people. It was a love that did not waver, no matter how 
far his loved ones fell or how high they soared.
He was an extraordinary man and he will be missed.
