Glenn Charles "Toby" Koether, 91, of La
Grange, passed away on Wednesday, Nov.
25, 2020.
Glenn was born in Swiss Alp on Sept.
26, 1929, the son of Hobert F. and Adela B.
(Frank) Koether. Glenn married Dorothy
Jean Freudenberg on Jan. 20,1951 at St. Pe-
ter's Lutheran Church of Prairie Valley. The
couple was blessed with five children. Glenn
was drafted into the United States Army on
March 5,1951. He was stationed at Fort Sam
Houston in San Antonio and was honorably
discharged in 1953.
Glenn and Dorothy owned La Grange
Farm and Ranch Supply for over 55 years.
ny, and he gladly accepted those orders. He told numerous stories of his
3-day passes that he was given on weekends about his travels to various
countries near his post in Germany. He brought back many collectibles,
such as an accordion, violins, cuckoo clocks and cameras. Even though he
never played a musical instrument, he had an interest in them. His main
interest, as many people know, was taking pictures. His cameras gave him
lots of joy, and he never missed taking pictures. Most every place he went,
he had his camera with him. He took pictures until the end of his 87th
year.
After returning home from the Army, he married JoAnn Wagner of
Schulenburg on July 11, 1959. He lived and worked in the Schulenburg
area working cattle. He also worked in the Nixon/Smiley area with cattle
and turkeys. He and JoAnn began a family and had two daughters and
one son. His job then began as a poultry inspector in the early'60s, and
he worked and transferred with his family to live in Cuero, Waco, Austin
and Fredericksburg. It was working in Fredericksburg where he became ill
from the poultry inspection. He moved his family to his homeplace at Mul-
doon. Once he moved back home to the country, he raised a garden with
all kinds of vegetables and kept his family fed, along with giving to neigh-
bors and friends. He also sold at the La Grange and Schulenburg farmers
markets. He raised cattle, hogs, ducks and guineas. His other hobby that
kept him busy was woodworking. He made porch swings, picture frames,
birdhouses, squirrel feeders, cedar chests, baby cradles, and even his gun
cabinet. Also, in his spare time, he planted and grafted pecan trees, and
he picked many a pecan. He then became involved in selling house insur-
ance with RVOS where he met many new friends. He also was a member
of SPJST and then became an agent to sell life insurance for Lodge 8 in
Weimar. As an insurance agent, he and JoAnn met many people where he
could use his "gift to gab." He never met a stranger.
He and JoAnn travelled to various places in Texas and surrounding
states. Their travels also included a cruise and a trip to Vancouver, Canada
where he took many beautiful pictures. Shortly after he lost his wife in
2017, he moved to College Place in Schulenburg. He was known by all
there as a jokester. It was there he lived through a pandemic. He then be-
came ill and passed away peacefully with family by his side on Nov. 20.
He was a faithful member of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church at
Swiss Alp and served on church council.
He is survived by his daughter, Becky Jares of Cleburne; sister-in-law,
Diana Ulbig and husband Joe of Weimar; special family friends Judy and
Dempsey Silva of Cleburne, Ryan and Grant Libby family, Trey and Destiny
Silva family, Erin and Ryan Robbins family, all of Burleson; and numerous
nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, daughter Patty, son Leo-
nard, brother Alton Jares and wife Dorothy, and two infant sisters.
Visitation was held on Saturday, Nov. 28, 2020 at United Evangelical
Lutheran Church in Swiss Alp at 11 a..m prior to the 1 p.m. memorial ser-
vice. Interment with full military honors followed in the Schulenburg City
Cemetery. Services were live-streamed on Facebook through the Swiss
Alp United Evangelical Lutheran Church website.
The family requests donations be made to Swiss Alp United Evangeli-
cal Lutheran Church, Hospice Brazos Valley, Swiss Alp Lutheran Heritage
Foundation, or a charity of one's choice.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Schwenke-Baumgarten
