The Buckley Chronicle, March 24, 1899

Departed

  Another highly respected and esteemed lady has been called to the home
above. Mrs. H.C. Krumwiede departed from this life last Monday morning
at 6 o'clock. Her sudden, unexpected death was a painful surprise to
everyone. The deceased attended the funeral of the late Mrs.
Scherkenbach last Thursday, and appeared to be in her usual health.
During the evening of that day she complained of not feeling well and
retired early, hoping to feel better on the morrow. But her hopes were
not fulfilled. When it was noticed that the disease would not give way
to the treatment, a physician was called. He pronounced a case of
la-grippe. The patient grew rapidly worse and on Sunday (unreadable) to
be sinking. Yet, hopes for her ultimate recovery were entertained. She
was conscious up to about six hours before her death. At the break of
day, her heart failed and the soul took its flight to the realms beyond.
Only a few of the nearest
relatives knew that she was sick. The community was so shocked by the
announcement of her sudden taking off that it seemed incredible to
believe. She was another of those meek, modest, unassuming natures, an
exceptionally industrious woman. She was of retiring habit, and not much
seen in society. She was a kind and dutiful wife and mother, sacrificing
all for the health and comfort of her loved ones. 'Tis sad, extremely
so, that she had to leave her family so soon.
  Mrs. Carolina Krumwiede, nee Schoh, was born May 11, 1860, at Settrup,
Anet Fuerstenan, Hanover. At the age of seventeen she, in company with
her sister, Mrs. Sprehe and her husband, emigrated to this country.
After a brief stay in New York they came west and located here. In the
winter of 1884 the deceased was united in marriage to Mr. H. C.
Krumwiede. The union was blessed with eight children, the oldest child
being about 14 years old, the youngest 3 years.
  The funeral took place last Thursday afternoon from the Lutheran
church. Though the highways were in so bad a condition that it was a
difficult task to travel over them, a very large congregation of
sorrowful, sympathizing friends were present. Messrs. Knueppel, Luhrsen,
Sachtjehn, Kottke, Jaster and Ahlfeld carried the remains to her last
resting place. May she rest in peace till the day of resurrection. The
husband and children are assured of the deep sympathy of the entire
community.
