His wife was with him when he died.
Mr. Koch was fifty-seven years old and came to Dunkirk at the age of fourteen. For over twenty years he has been engaged in the brewery business. He is survived by his wife, three sons, William L.

Special to The Commercial:
Dunkirk, June 6, 1911 - The body of Fred Koch is expected to arrive from Bad Nauheim, Germany, about June 17, 1911.
Few particulars have been received from Mrs. Koch concerning his sudden death, but William L. Koch, the oldest son, has a letter written May 24, 1911, stating that his father was slowly improving and it was hoped that a rest of a week at his birthplace in Neuhausel, where his sister lives, would benefit him.
Death occurred at the famous baths at Karlsbad, a short distance from his old home. Mr. Koch was in his 58th year and after spending a few years in Buffalo, settled in Dunkirk, establishing a big brewery with Frank Werle.
After retirement of his partner, he continued in control and built up a large and prosperous business. He was the type of man who is a credit to the community, of honorable dealings and the highest integrity. He was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church, Germania Singing Society, Dunkirk Exempt Firemen and Hose Company No. 1.
In 1878 he married Mary Stahler, who survives with two sisters and three sons, as stated yesterday.
