Our subject is descended from good old Revolutionary stock, his ancestors having aided the Colonies in their struggle for independence. Mr. Krumrine, whose name opens this sketch, is indebted to the public schools of Ferguson township for his educational privileges, and since laying aside his text books he has turned his attention to agricultural pursuits. He is the owner of a valuable farm of 106 acres, which he has placed under a high state of cultivation, and improved with good, substantial farm buildings. On September 18, 1879, he was married to Miss Annie Garner, and one child - John Franklin - graces this union. Politically, our subject is a Jeffersonian Democrat, strongly favoring the free coinage of gold and silver. He holds a prominent place among the intelligent farmers of the county, and his integrity, manliness and true Christian character have won for him the respect of the entire community. Religiously, he is a faithful member of the German Reformed Church. 1900 Ferguson Township, Centre County census - Fred Krumrine, 42 Anna Krumrine, 38 Frank Krumrine, 20
