JOHN F. KOECK     cemetery #21

Former Resident Near Here Prominent In Community Growth
John F. Koeck, prominent for years in business and public life of 
St. Nazianz and Manitowoc county, was instantly killed Saturday at 
Arlington, Columbia county while driving his car back to Cresco, 
Iowa, after a visit at the home of his son Albert in Manitowoc. He 
was 76 years old.
Mr. Koeck’s car collided with one driven by Mrs. Raymond Unke, Portage.
The fenders of the two machines locked. The Koeck car turned over on 
its top. When rescuers reached Mr. Koeck he was dead. He sustained a 
fractured skull.
The deceased, who was one of the first motorists in the county, was 
making his 104th trip between Manitowoc and points in Iowa and Minnesota 
when he was killed. He left the home of his son at Manitowoc on Saturday 
morning to return to Cresco, Iowa, where he was head of the Royal Puritan 
Farms.
Despite his advanced age Mr. Koeck thought nothing of the long trip to Iowa.
He drove automobiles ever since they came in to general use at the turn of 
the century. Mr. Koeck was the owner of the first automobile in the county 
outside this city.
Born In Illinois
The body of Mr. Koeck was taken to Portage and, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. 
Joseph Schneider, son-in-law and daughter, reached St. Nazianz Sunday night.
Word from Portage, was that Mrs. Unke, driver of the car that collided with 
the Koeck machine, sustained body bruises and was not seriously hurt.
Mr. Koeck, was born at Decatur, Illinois, in 1859, the son of the late Mr. 
and Mrs. Frank Koeck. He was only two years of age when his father died. 
The family moved to St. Nazianz and Mr. Koeck was reared there. He later 
attended the school at St. Lawrence College at Mt. Calvary. He took up 
teaching, and for five years was in charge of a school at Francis Creek.
The deceased returned to St. Nazianz, took up the carpenter’s trade and 
later opened a book and confectionery store in the village. He engaged in 
the undertaking business which he continued un (apparently cut off here)
Runs Canning Company
It was in 1901 that Mr. Koeck joined with others in St. Nazianz in organizing 
the Pioneer Canning and Pickling Company. He served several years as manager 
and secretary of the company, which was later taken over by the Valders 
Company.
In public life Mr. Koeck always took a keen interest in the affairs of not 
only St. Nazianz, but of the town of Eaton, and the county at large. In 1886 
he was elected town clerk and held that position for 13 years. He also served 
for three years as Eaton town chairman and represented the town on the county 
board.
Mr. Koeck was a justice of the peace in the village; a charter member of the 
Catholic Knights terms served as secretary of the state organization. He was 
also a member of the Catholic congregation at St. Nazianz.
Joins Son-In-Law
In 1927 Mr.Koeck joined with his son-in-law, Joseph Schneider, in operation of 
the Royal Puritan Farms, a hatchery, at LeRoy, Minnesota. He remained there 
until 1930 when he went to Cresco to operate a branch of this farm in that place.
The deceased was married in 1885 at St.Nazianz to Miss Mary Lettenberger. She 
died in 1923.
Survivors are a daughter, Mrs. Joseph Schneider of LeRoy, Minnesota; two sons, 
Albert of Manitowoc and George of Austin, Minnesota; and seven grandchildren.
Funeral services were held on Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock at St. Gregory’s 
Catholic church at St. Nazianz. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery.

KAROLINE KOEHRING    cemetery #82

(no newspaper name) 1925
Mrs. Karoline Koehring, 75, one of Kiel's former old-time and 
well-known residents, passed away at the home of her son-in-law 
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Hollensteiner, at Milwaukee on Monday. 
Karoline Koehring, nee Miller, was born December 21, 1849, in 
Gross-Abersdorf, a. d. Rhine, Saxony, Germany. Here, in the native 
village she received a sound elementary secular education, and also 
a thorough religious training. At the age of 18 years she came to 
America, where she found a home with a brother near Oconomowoc, Wis. 
Two years later she was united in marriage with William Koehring. 
They settled at Kiel, where they spent practically all of their 
active life. Here they reared their family of six children. Here also 
they united with and continued their membership in the Reformed church. 
On October 27, 1903, Mrs. Kroehling lost her husband through death. 
In 1915 she moved to Milwaukee, where several of her children had 
established themselves. After the marriage of her youngest daughter, 
she made her home with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. E. 
Hollensteiner, where she remained for 8 years, until her death last 
Monday morning, and where she found every comfort and care, which 
tender filial affection could provide. About two years ago her 
eyesight began to fail her. This was to her a serious affliction, 
and a test of her faith. Yet as time went on she was able by the grace 
of God to take up the cross and to adjust herself to it and to fix her 
mind more and more on the objects of faith, the things not seen by 
human eyes. Trusting in her Savior, she has gone on to the clear vision 
of the better life. She leaves her six children: Wm. J. Koehring, Mrs. 
E. Hollensteiner, Philip A. Koehring, Mrs. Geo. Miller and Mrs. G.A. 
Thompson, all of Milwaukee, and Mrs. Hugo Duecker of Algoma. Also 13 
grandchildren and one great-grand-daughter, besides many other relatives 
and a host of friends. The remains were brought to Kiel on Wednesday and 
burial took place in the family lot in the Kiel cemetery in the afternoon.

at St. Nazianz. Mr. Koenig had generously contributed his services to help in the 
construction work and it was while so employed on August 7 that he met the injury 
that caused his death. The first week in September he was brought to Manitowoc and 
remained at the Wollersheim home to be under the care of local physicians. Though 
at first high hopes were held out for his recovery when he rallied from sinking
