FUNERAL RITES HELD TODAY FOR JUDGE KRAUSS—Prominent Attorney Passed Away Here 
Saturday Afternoon.

Judge Daniel Webster Krauss, prominent South Georgia Attorney, passed away at 
the City Hospital Saturday afternoon, following an illness of two or three 
weeks.

The “Judge”, as he was familiarly known by practically everyone who had lived 
Brunswick for any length of time, was the dean of the legal profession here, 
having studied law in the office and under the tutelage of the late Judge 
Frank H. Harris, an outstanding attorney of his day and a veteran of the War 
Between the States; and was admitted to the bar just before he was 21 years of 
age.

He was born Oct. 21, 1869, and practiced law in Brunswick and Glynn county for 
58 years.  He was one of the first graduates of Glynn Academy.

For several terms he was judge of City Court when it was first established.  
Prior to that service he had been active in city politics having served as a 
member of the city council.

During World War I, he was chairman of the committee selling Liberty Bonds, in 
which campaign Glynn county reached and exceeded its quota before any other 
county in the state.

For years before his removal to St. Simons Island, Judge Krauss and Mrs. 
Krauss were active in church work, the Judge having been a member of the board 
of stewards and for years superintendent of the Sunday School of the First 
Methodist Church, while his wife for years taught a woman’s Bible class in the 
same Sunday School, which class bore her name.

Prominent also in fraternal order circles, he was a member of all the branches 
of York Rite Masonry from Blue Lodge to Shrine; and was made an honorary life 
member of the Knights of Pythias on his fiftieth year of membership in that 
order.

In his private law practice, Judge Krauss was noted for his never-failing 
devotion to the cause of justice for his clients in both civil and criminal 
matters before the courts, whether those seeking his services were of high or 
low estate.

Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Minnie Lee Krauss; a daughter, Mrs. Hope 
Strong, of Winter Park, Fla.; tow sons, Willard Webster Krauss and Daniel Lee 
Krauss, of this city; and the following grandchildren:  Caroline Krauss, 
Daniel Lee Krauss, Jr., Lt. Hope Strong, Jr., USN, Daniel deGraffenried 
Strong, and Ensign Willard Lee Strong.  Two great grandchildren and a number 
of other relatives also survive.

Funeral services were held at the First Methodist Church at 3:30 o’clock this 
afternoon, with all Methodist Ministers in the area participating.  Burial was 
in Oak Grove cemetery.  Serving as active pallbearers were Julian Bennet, 
Osborne Morgan, Ben White, W. Cone Holody, Alfred Brockington, Howard Leavy, 
Edwin Sherman and Francis Baker.  Members of the Brunswick Bar Association and 
a large number of other friends served as honorary pallbearers.  The funeral 
was in charge of the Miller Funeral Home.
