[Waterloo Courier, Wednesday, November 3, 1880, Waterloo, Iowa]

DIED—Mrs. Henrietta Koch wife of Hugo Koch, of Reinbeck, and sister of A. T. Lusch, of this city, died at Reinbeck on Tuesday of last week, aged 34 years.

Deceased formerly lived at Dyersville, but moved with her husband to Reinbeck about two years since.

Her death was very unexpected and was undoubtedly hastened by the great sorrow through which she had passed in the loss of two boys by scarlet fever only a short time before. The bereaved husband thus called upon to mourn the loss of a beloved wife and two sons, and tho mourning circle of relatives, have the hearty sympathy of all their many friends in their sad affliction.

Mrs. Koch was buried at Reinbeck with the honors of the masonic lodge, to which her husband belonged,a large concourse of friends following the remains to the grave.
