NOTE:  this is the SECOND WIFE of H. C. Krumwiede

Death of Mrs. H.C. Krumwiede

(Probably The Buckley Chronicle)

  Death again entered our midst and bereaved a happy family of its
needed mother. He[r] death, due to heart disease, occurred last Monday
afternoon. The Sunday before she had attended divine service. Before her
relatives and neighbors could be notified of her sudden illness, she had
passed away. Thereby we are reminded of that which our church confesses:
     "Who knows how near my end may be?
     Time speeds away, and death comes on.
     How swiftly, ah, how suddenly,
     May death be here, and life be gone.
     My God for Jesus' sake I pray,
     Thy peace may bless my dying day."
  The deceased, Mrs. Minna Krumwiede, was born June 10, 1883, at
Buckley. Here she was baptized, attneded school and was confirmed in the
Lutheran church. In the year of 1902 she was married to Henry Krumwiede.
This union the Lord blessed with ten children.
  By her marriage she also became mother to the eight children of Mr.
Krumwiede's first marriage. These she cared for and treated like her own
children and was loved and respected by them as though she were their
true mother.
  She was in poor health for the last few years. Patiently, without
complaining, she bore whatever burden the Lord laid upon her. She was a
faithful Christian, faithful in the use of God's word and sacrament, and
we are confident that the Lord received her soul to enjoy in His
glorious presence an everlasting life.
  The days of her earthly life number 43 years, 1 month and 22 days. Her
unexpected departure is mourned by her sorrowing husband, ten children,
eight step children, eighteen grandchildren, her aged parents, five
brothers, two sisters, and many other relatives and friends. May she
rest in peace.

[Again, the obituary for Minna Sprehe Krumwiede sounds as if it were
written by J.M. Gross, just as does the obituary for her aunt, the first
wife of Henry C. Krumwiede.]
