Virginian-Pilot December 19, 1923
Hundreds of people lost a sincere and beloved friend, and many public causes a 
warm sponsor through the death of Mrs. A. E. Krise yesterday morning at a 
hospital here after an illness of many months. Even during her hours of 
suffering, Mrs. Krise kept her interest in her friends and her work. She was 
chairman of the Civics Department of the Woman's Club and, although she was 
unable to be present at many of the meetings, aided in arrangements for them.
A resolution was passed by a group of women at the Y. W. C. A. yesterday 
afternoon, members of the seven Parent-Teacher Associations in the city, 
expressing their grief at Mrs. Krise's death. This will be sent to the State 
Board, of which she was a member and a pioneer worker in this field.
She was, at all times, an ardent sponsor of public causes, and was the first 
president of the Walter Herron Taylor Home and School League in which she 
inaugurated many reforms afterwards effected. She was president of the Melody 
Club, and a member of the National "Better Films" Committee. She was a charter 
member of the Woman's Club, had been chairman of the Music Department, and was, 
at the time of her death, chairman of the Civics Department, the most important 
of all the club's activities.
Mrs. Krise was a native of Norfolk and had spent her entire life here, quietly 
doing an immense amount of good in many fields. Her loss is felt by many classes 
and many groups. Her work in civic, educational and philanthropic fields has 
gained for her the admiration and love of hundreds.
Mrs. Krise was the only daughter of S. Q. and Octavia Collins. She is survived 
also by her husband, a son, Ellsworth Krise, and two brothers, Paul T., and S. 
Q. Collins, Jr. Funeral services will be held at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 
Colonial and Spottswood avenues, tomorrow at noon. The Rev. John H. Griffith, 
archdeacon of Western North Carolina, and the Rev. D. W. Howard, D.D., rector of 
St. Luke's Episcopal Church, will officiate. Burial will be in Elmwood Cemetery.
