"WALTER M. KOCH is a prosperous young farmer in West Brunswick township, making a specialty of growing garden truck and fruit, for which he finds a ready market at Pottsville and St. Clair, this county. Thrifty and enterprising, doing his share in keeping up good standards in the neighborhood, he is a typical member of a family whose name has been associated with high citizenship for several generations in this part of Schuylkill county."
"Walter M. Koch was born April 10, 1880, in East Brunswick township, where he grew up and received his education. He received his early training on the home farm, where he worked for his father until nineteen years old, after which he was employed for one year in the Philadelphia & Reading car shops at Schuylkill Haven. For the next three years he worked with a portable steam sawmill for Mahlon Boyer, at different points in Schuylkill county, and then joined his brother Charles in the operation of the homestead farm, which they tenanted for two years. At the end of that time he came to his present place in West Brunswick township, which he bought from Mrs. Eliza Stein, widow of George Stein. The property contains 119 acres, ninety acres of which are cleared and devoted to general farming, in which Mr. Koch has been highly successful. He has taken a public-spirited interest in local affairs, serving very efficiently as school director. He is a Republican in political opinion, and attends Kimmel's Church in West Brunswick township. Fraternally he belongs to Grace Lodge, No. 157, I. O. O. F., of Orwigsburg, and to Mayang Tribe, Improved Order of Red Men, of Orwigsburg. Mr. Koch married Fannie May Moyer, who was born July 15, 1881, in West Brunswick township, daughter of William F. Moyer, and remained at home until her marriage. She is a member of Kimmel's Church (Church of God) in West Brunswick township. Mr. and Mrs. Koch have had four children, born as follows: Mabel V., Feb. 22, 1899; Raymond E., Sept. 22, 1902; Irwin W., Sept. 13, 1904; and Edward M., March 27, 1910."
