Years of Illness.
Mr.. Koch, although he had been in ILL.,
health for about two years, was able to
be at his desk until he was forced to
keep to his bed about a week ago. His
condition, On account of age, became
more serious every day, and death was
not unexpected.

the German element of the city.

April 13, 1894, and came to Washington
in 1854. where he obtained a position as
printer. Being of a rowing disposition in
his early youth, Mr.. Koch quit his busi-

associates, and Joined the Eighth Bat
talon, District Volunteers, with the rank
of captain. He did not serve the entire
four years. and returned 20 Washing
ton when his enlistment time ram out,
TO resume the editOrShip of his paper.
So great was the success Of the publica-
ton that in 1871 it appeared daily, and
the name was changed to the Washington
Journal. For fifteen years Mr.. Koch
sent his paper daily to the presses, when
it appeared three days in the week. Dur
ing the last ten years the paper has been
issuing a weekly edition.
Two years ago Mr. Koch celebrated
his seventy-fifth birthday anniversary,
and the fiftieth anniversary OF his jour
nal, when a mass meeting or prominent
Germans, including members OF the Ger
man Embassy, Congressman. and other
officials. was held at the Washington
Saengerbund hall.

newspaper proprietor in point of active
service in the United States.
