Published Obituary
From the Adelaide Observer, Saturday 22 February 1896:
"The Late Mr. F. J. Koehncke.—In losing our old colonists by death we are also erasing from the list some of the men who, feeling faith in the future of the colonv, have established businesses, kept them going, and tried their level best to make the trade a success. The late Mr. Frederic J.Koehncke was one of these, He was a native of Hamburg, and came to South Australia in 1854, with the knowledge and skill of a glass engraver and picture framer. He began business in a shop at the end of Rundle-street, as it was then, and, after a visit to tho Victorian diggings, removed to Hindley-street, where he conducted business for about ten years. In 1874 ho made a trip to Germany, and when he returned to South Australia he started picture-framing and glass-engraving business in Gawler-place. He died on Monday morning, February 17, The late Mr. Koehncke was much respected in business circles; he was not a man who exerted himself much about politics, although he took an intelligent interest in political and civic matters".
