GEORGE G. KRAUSE,

Whose foot was amputated at the Altoona hospital on Thursday morning, 
died at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning.  The operation had been 
performed in an attempt to arrest gangrene.  Mr. Krause was born in 
Witenberger, Germany, on January 7, 1830, and came to this country in 
1845.  He served as a government sailor for six years.  From 1856 to 
1861 he resided in Pittsburg.  August 22, 1863, while a citizen of 
Altoona, he enlisted in the 49th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and 
was wounded at Cold Harbor in May, 1864.  This was an injury to the leg 
and it bothered him ever since and was the cause of the gangrene, which 
finally caused his death.  Mr. Krause was employed in the company's 
upper machine shops and belonged to the relief fund.  He was married 
March 10, 1857, In Allegheny City, to Miss Rosie Fensler, who, with six 
children, survives him.  He was a kind and affectionate husband and 
father and the sorrowing wife and children have sustained a loss which 
is irreparable.  Funeral services will be held at his late residence, 
135 Washington avenue, tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 by Rev. J. F. Moyer; 
interment in the Fairview cemetery.
