  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 with the firm of D. M. and A. Geenen, conducting a drygoods store. He continued with them until 1898, at which time he sold out his interests and became one of the managers of the Continetal Clothing Store. This company has a large, up-to-date store, and a complete stock of men's wear is kept. His experience as a salesman has proved valuable, and as he is a man of much executive ability he has been successful as a manager, many of his ideas being tried with excellent results. On October 10, 1888, Mr. Koch was united in marriage with Mary M. Smith, of Freedom township, Outagamie county, daughter of Anton and Berdina Smith, who came to Outagamie county fifty-two years ago, Mr. Smith following farming during the remainder of his life. Five children were born to this union: Meta and Estella, who died in infancy; Verona, attending Lawrence University; Evelyn, attending high school; and Gerald, who is a student in the public schools. The family is connected with St. Joseph's Church of the Catholic faith, and Mr. Koch supports movements of a church and charitable nature.
