Anthony Koch
Anthony
J. Koch, one of the managers of the Continental Clothing Store, a large
business interest of Appleton, was born at Watertown, Wisconsin, June 8, 1861,
and is a son of Bernhard and Josephine (Isphording)
Koch, natives of Germany, who came to the United States in 1850 and settled at
Watertown, where both died. Anthony J.
Koch was the second of his parents' three children and his education was
secured in the public and parochial schools. After graduating from the latter
he learned the saddlery business with his father, who
was engaged in that line all his life, and after the latter's death, in 1880,
went to Chicago and followed the same occupation until 1884. He then went to
Boyd, Chippewa County, Wisconsin, where he secured employment in a gents'
furnishing store, and in 1896 came to Appleton, where he formed a partnership .
