Joseph Kohl (1841 - 1892)


Joseph Kohl, one of our younger citizens, died last Thursday morning quite suddenly. For the last three years he had been in a weakened condition from a bout of influenza (der grippe), from which he never fully regained his strength. His wife found his lifeless body when she attempted to wake him at 5:30 Thursday morning. Thus ends another life.

He was 51 years of age and was a native of Bavaria (Bayern). He came to America with his parents when he was in his fourth year of life. Until 1880 he lived in the neighborhood of Schleisingerville. He was a veteran, having participated in the 52nd Wisconsin Regiment and within the last year became a member of the local GAR post.

Survivors include his wife and nine children, six sons and three daughters. 3 sons and 3 daughters reside here, 1 son in San Antonio Texas, 1 son in Colby and 1 son in Dorchester.
