JOHN F. KRUG, grain-dealer, P.O. Kingsdale, was born December 28, 1849, in 
Meyers’ District, Carroll Co., Md., son of John Krug and grandson of George 
Krug, whose father was a native of Germany.  John Krug, who was born in 
Lancaster County, Penn., moved to Carroll County, Md., (where he farmed), but 
now resides in Hanover, York Co., Penn.  He married Susannah Willet, born in 
Maryland, daughter of George and Eliza (McKinney) Willet, and who died in March, 
1862, the mother of eight children of whom five are now living:  John F., George 
W., David D., Mrs. Mary Bortner and Mrs. Lucinda Hershey.  John F. Krug was a 
farmer in Oxford Township in early life, but came to Germany Township in 1877, 
and in partnership with George F. Krug (postmaster at Kingsdale) bought out the 
business of Amos Klinefelter, in Kingsdale, on the Frederick & Pennsylvania 
Railroad, where they are yet in the grain and grocery business and are also 
dealing in phosphates, having a brand of their own.  Our subject was married 
September 25, 1874, to Miss Mary E. Sheffer, born in York County, Penn., 
daughter of Michael Sheffer.  Their children, five in number, are Alverta S., 
Minnie M., Linda M., Charles E. and Estella.  Mr. and Mrs. Krug are members of 
the Lutheran Church.  In politics he is a Republican.
