Mary McCormack, longtime postmistress of Sparta
Mary Margaret McCormack was appointed postmistress of Sparta by President John F. Kennedy in 1963, succeeding her mother who held the position for 30 years before that. By the time Mrs. McCormack retired in 1982, President Ronald Reagan was in the White House, and Sparta had changed as much as the men in the Oval Office.
"Sparta used to be a real place of commerce. It was a railroad town," said her son, George E. McCormack. "After the interstates came along, though, it kind of dried up, and she saw the amount of commerce drop off. But she always enjoyed the people."
Mary Margaret "Margie" McCormack, 76, of Sparta, died Monday at her home.
Mrs. McCormack witnessed a down-sizing of the town's postal addresses during her tenure, but her enjoyment of the job and the people it brought to her never waned. Her son said the people of Sparta seemed to have had an equal appreciation for her.
"She took care of all these people down here. Mom would help them take care of their business," said her son. "People just enjoyed her company."
Mrs. McCormack was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Warsaw.
Survivors include her husband, Edward Russell McCormack; a daughter, Loretta Way of Madison, Ind.; a son, George E. "Eddie Mac" McCormack; sisters, Miriam Alexander of Sparta, Jean Bell of Ocala, Fla., Mildred Frommeyer of Burlington and Esther Elliott of Vevay, Ind.; and three grandchildren.

George Koch, helped move
paper into computer age
George William "Bill" Koch, longtime Linotype machinist for The Cincinnati Post and Times Star who helped move the paper into the computer age, died Thursday at his home in Hebron. He was 78.
Mr. Koch served in the Army during World War II and was with the troops who liberated the concentration camp at Dachau.
The experience intensified his compassion for people, said his wife, Margaret.
After returning from the war, he started his 37-year career at The Post, setting type on the massive Linotype machines. He became the head machinist and in the 1970s helped work on the transition to computers. He left The Post in the early 1980s and ran an Enquirer paper route until he decided to retire in 1984.
Mr. Koch coached baseball teams with the American Legion and enjoyed golf and fishing, but his family was his first love, said his daughter, Linda Winkler of Burlington.
His sons had a rock 'n' roll band, and Mr. Koch was their biggest fan.
"We used to travel with them, and sit in the corner and listen. He was so proud of the boys," Mrs. Koch said.
"He was laid-back, and he had such a big heart," said Mrs. Winkler. "Every child who ever came across him adored him."
Children used to come to the door, she said, and ask if he could come out and play.
The Kochs lived in Erlanger for most of their lives. They moved to Hebron to live with their daughter, Leigh Ober, a year ago, after Mr. Koch developed cancer.
Other survivors include sons, Gary Koch of Erlanger and Greg Koch of New York City; a sister, Laverne Hoppenjans of Fort Wright; eight grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
Mass of Christian burial will be at 7 p.m. Monday at Mary Queen of Heaven Church, Erlanger, with a reception afterward. Burial will be in St. John Cemetery, Fort Mitchell. Memorials are suggested to St. Elizabeth Hospice, 401 E. 20th St., Covington, Kentucky 41014.
