William Koch Ownership <br />William Koch appears to have purchased 931 Main in 1917, but evidence of his living in the <br />house could not be located for earlier than 1930. He is shown as living in this location in the <br />1930 and 1940 censuses. Koch was born in Germany in 1866 and worked as a teamster. The <br />1943 directory was the last indication of his residence at 931 Main, and he died that year. He <br />appears to have never married. <br />Jennie Perrella Ownership <br />In 1943, Jennie Perrella purchased 931 Main. She lived next door to 931 Main (to the north) at <br />824 South with her husband, Rome Perrella, and their children. It is possible that the house was <br />rented out or used by relatives, since it was right next door to the Perrella home, but this could <br />not be confirmed. <br />The following screen captures are from a scene in the Louisville film "Our Boys and Girls in the <br />Armed Forces, 1943-44," made during this time period. They show 931 Main on the right. <br />
