1. Koch Family Cemetery Marker

Inscription. Established 1985 by Irene R. Koch after the death of her husband George W. Koch with the intention that there would be a burial site for all descendants of George and Irene. Irene deeded a portion of adjacent land to the Highland Cemetery with the understanding that perpetual care would be provided for the Koch family plot. At the death of Irene, additional land was purchased by the cemetery. The addition was named for George and Irene Koch. The Koch family children agreed to keep the plot natural with the head stones being the same nature as in the Koch Monument.
Bylaws, rules and regulations are governed by the Highland Cemetery.
