The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Monday, November 19, 1928


The funeral services for John Kruger, of Muir, who died Sunday morning at 4 
o’clock after months of illness, the past eight weeks of which were spent in 
bed, will be held from the home Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock sun time.  The 
services will be in charge of Rev. George H. Johnson of Paw Paw.  Burial will 
be in the Muir cemetery.  Grandsons Gerald Smith, Floyd Waters, Earl Kruger, 
Kenneth Kruger, Clifford Ross, and Marion Kruger, will act as pallbearers.

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 home from the vicinity of Detroit to 
Fowler, then a vast area of timber.  Later on one of those 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 Stoney Creek.  He was affiliated with the German Lutheran church and years 
ago assisted in building and maintaining the denomination of Fowler.

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