JULIUS B. KRAUSE.

    One of the wideawake business men of Cobden, Brown county, is Julius R.
Krause, who was born in Germany, January 2, 1859. He is a son of Henrich and
Fredricka (Schlotz) Krause, both natives of Germany, where they grew up, were
married and established their home. The father was a tailor by trade, which he
followed in his native land until coming to America in 1873. His wife died on
the voyage across the Atlantic. The father settled on a farm in Milford
township, Brown county, Minnesota, where he remained until he removed to New Ulm
in 1881, having rented land the meanwhile, then resumed his old trade,
maintaining a tailor shop in New Ulm for seven years, when he retired and made
his home with his son. His family consisted of eight children, five of whom were
by the first wife. He remarried two years after locating in the New World and
had three children by his last wife. Julius R. is the only survivor of the first
marriage. The children of the second union are, Alma, Johanna and Francis.

    Julius R. Krause was fourteen years of age when he came to the United
States. He had attended the common schools in his native land. He went to school
one year after coming to Brown county, after which he continued to work for his
father on the farm until he was nineteen years old, then took up the trades of
wagon-maker and painter in New Ulm, at which he worked until the tornado
devastated New Ulm, after which he devoted his attention exclusively to the
painting business, operating a paint and paper store until 1900; then was
manager of the Turner hall of New Ulm for ten years, then went to Essig and
conducted a saloon for two and one-half years, after which he returned to New
Ulm, living in retirement until 1913, in which year he came to Cobden and bought
out a saloon which he is still conducting. He also has the agency for the Ford
automobile in one township.

     Mr. Krause was married in 1886 to Elizabeth Dhein. a daughter of Jacob and
Katherine Johanna Dhein, both parents being natives of Germany, from which
country they came to Minnesota in 1869, settling at New Ulm. The father was a
moulder in a foundry. Their daughter, Elizabeth, was born in Germany, being four
years old when her parents brought him to America. She received her education in
the public schools of New Ulm. She was one of four children, three sons and one
daughter.

     Three daughters have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Krause, namely: Erma, who
married Nick Gulden, lives with her father, and has one child, Mildred; Laura
married Rudolph Kemske and they live in New Ulm; Loda is at home with her parents.

     Politically, Mr. Krause is a Democrat. He is at present a member of the
town council of Cobden. He belongs to the Sons of Hermann and the Turnverein of
