Asher "Pete" and Sheila Koch are lifelong residents of Harrison County. Pete, along with his four brothers, John, Bob, Davie and Rick, grew up in Freeport where their parents David and Sarah Farrell Koch owned and operated Koch Funeral Home. The funeral home remains in the family and is now run by his brother and sister-in-law John and Donna Koch.
Sheila, her brother Jeff and sister Amanda, grew up in Piedmont. Their parents are Lana Wright Tarbert, who worked at the Freeport Press, and the late Larry Tarbert, who was an excavator for local coal companies but his passion was working on the family farm. They are extremely proud of our three beautiful daughters Alanna, Ashley and Erica.
