Had Been Ill Several Months; Settled Near Fowler 58 Years Ago; Funeral Tuesday.

The funeral services for John Kruger, of Muir, who died Sunday morning at 4

Mr. Kruger was born in Germany 80 years ago.  When a small boy he came with his 
parents from the old country and settled near Detroit.  When John was eight 
years old his parents shifted their homesite from the vicinity of Detroit to 
Fowler, then a vast area of timber.  Later on one of these plots of timber 
became the home of John and his bride as they began housekeeping nearly 58 
years ago.  For 13 years Mr. Kruger served Dallas township as highway 
commissioner and during this period he supervised the erection of three bridges 
over Stony Creek.  He was affiliated with the German Lutheran church and years 
ago assisted in building and maintaining the denomination at Fowler.

Twenty-three years ago he sold his farm at Fowler and purchased the farm in 
North Plains township that belonged to William Bambor???.  This he owned at the 
time of his death.  It was occupied by a son, Leonard Kruger and family.
