Mrs. Geo. Kruger of Gaylord is no More.
PASSED TO ETERNITY
     The death of Mrs. Geo. Kruger of this place, which
occurred Sunday, Feb. 24th, at one o’clock, was a severe
blow to her husband and surviving children.  She was
taken ill with lung fever a month previous to her death,
and was very low, her death being expected at any
moment.  For several days last week, she showed signs
of gaining strength, but it was not to be that she should
linger on this earth, and the end came as a great relief
to her suffering.  She leaves a husband and four children, 
all living in this village.  The children are Louis, John, Mrs. 
Louis Fenske and Miss Lizzie.  One son, Robert, preceded 
her to the grave about four years ago.
     Mrs. Kruger was born in Glass, Province of Pommern, 
Germany, Oct. 26, 1844, and came to America in
1867, making her home in Milwaukee, where she was
united in marriage to George Kruger the following year. 
In June of the year 1874, they came to Sibley county,
ten years later moving to this place which has since
been their home.  She was a woman who was kind and
loving to her husband and children and won the respect
of all who knew her by her friendly and cheerful disposition.  
The funeral was held from the home at three o’clock 
Wednesday afternoon.  Services were also held at the 
Evangelical Lutheran church, of which she was a faithful 
member Rev. Hertwig conducting the last sad rites.  Interment
of the remains was made in the cemetery north of town.  The 
services were largely attended by friends who were wont to 
pay their last respects to the departed.  The sorrowing husband 
and children have the sympathy of their friends in the loss of their
wife and mother.  ---  Gaylord Hub
