  ADAM H. KRUMRINE, a well-known and progressive farmer of Ferguson 
township, is one of the representative men of that portion of Centre 
county.  He is the owner of a valuable and well-improved farm of 120 
acres, where he was born December 23, 1854.  The well-appointed place, 
with its substantial buildings and highly cultivated fields, testifies 
to his earnest labors and careful management. His paternal grandfather 
was a member of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary war, 
serving under Gen. Washington, and the trunk which he then used is 
still in the possession of a member of the family.
  John Krumrine, the father of our subject, was a native of Millheim, 
Penn's Valley, Penn., and on reaching man's estate was united in 
marriage with Miss Christina Decker by whom he had nine children as 
follows:  Lydia, wife of D. M. Neidig, a retired farmer of State 
College, Penn., by whom she has two children; Sally J., wife of M. D. 
Snyder, a butcher of State College, by whom she has eight children; 
Catharine E., wife of William Kemmerer, a retired miller by whom she 
has one child; Adam H.; Jacob, who wedded Margaret Dreibelbis; 
Margaret, wife of S. S. Greibe, proprietor of a livery stable and the 
"State College Hotel," by whom she has two children; J. N., a merchant 
of State College, who married Lizzie Martel, and has one child; Sydney, 
a druggist of Bellefonte, Centre county,

who married Jennie Bubb; and Christina, who is living with her mother 
in State College.  On coming to Centre county at the age of eighteen 
years, the father had located in Ferguson township, but he died in 
College township in 1891. 
  In the usual manner of farmer lads, Adam H. Krumrine spent the days 
of his boyhood and youth, and from the time he was old enough to handle 
the plow has followed farming, meeting with excellent success in his 
chosen calling.  Since attaining his majority, he has been identified 
with the Democratic party, always supporting its men and measures by 
his ballot.  He is a consistent member of the German Reformed Church, 
and socially affiliates with the Grange.  He is a wide-awake 
enterprising farmer, and as a citizen stands deservedly high in the 
estimation of his neighbors and friends.
