Frederick Koop
Frederick Koop was born in Hanover, Ger., January 14, 1801, and came to Cincinnati in 1831, where he lived nearly four years, when he came to St. Marys township and settled in section 33. He built a hotel on his farm on the St. Marys and New Bremen road, which he conducted eighteen years. The old building still stands, a landmark of the pioneer times. He reared a family of ten children, eight of whom are still living. Mr. K. is still in enjoyment of good health, and has by industry acquired a good home, and merits in his age the good name his neighbors so willingly accord him.
