Third Generation

27. George Henry KRUMWIEDE was born on 1 Jan 1875.^34,50,53 He was baptized on 1 Feb 1875 in St. John's Lutheran Church (LCMS), Buckley, Illinois.³⁴ He was in the news in 1895.
Sept. 20, 1895 -- Geo. Krumwiede, we hear, is sick and tired of Minnesota and on his way home. We welcome your return, as did the father of the prodigal son. (I have assigned this note to George Henry Krumwiede for several reasons: He is old enough (age 20) as of this writing to have gone on to Minnesota on his own; The editor of the newspaper is very careful with names and refers to George A. Krumwiede as exactly that when he writes about him; Though George A. also went to Minnesota, I believe, he did so when his parents went in 1900; Geo. A. is mentioned in an issue of the Chronicle that appears between this one and the one following.)

Nov. 25, 1895 -- Geo. Krumwiede, another of the party of young men that set out for Minnesota last July, returned last Thursday night. Thus they all gradually return to this fold and we are glad of it. The trip evidently did him a heap of good, as he gained 25 pounds of avoirdupois. He died on 5 Nov 1956 in Kankakee, Illinois.¹¹⁹

George Krumwiede, 81, Buckley, Dies; Rites Held Thursday
George Henry Krumwiede, 81, of Buckley, died Monday at 4 p.m. at a Kankakee hospital where he had been receiving treatments for the last three months.
A lifelong Buckley community resident, he was born January 1, 1875, to August and Louisa Sternberg Krumwiede and was married December 13, 1899, at Buckley to Carolina W. Weisenbarn. He was engaged in farming until recent years.
Surviving are his wife; four sons, Alfred, at home, Leo of Decatur, Albert Krumwiede, Wilmington, and George of Washington, Ill.; two daughters, Mrs. Clara McNeill of Binghamton, N.Y. and Mrs. Elra Lambert of Wilmington; 18 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren; and a sister, Mrs. Emma Luhrsen of Ash Grove community.
He was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers, two sisters, an infant daughter and a son, Leonard, who died in 1948.
Funeral services were conducted Thursday at 1:30 p.m. at the Kelly Memorial home in Buckley and at 2 p.m. in the St. John Lutheran church there. The pastor, the Rev. Walther A. Eissfeldt, officiated and interment was in St. John cemetery at Buckley.

He was buried on 8 Nov 1956 in St. John's Lutheran Cemetery, Buckley, Illinois.^19,53 Section A, Row 12A, Plot 61 This might be the George Krumwiede mentioned in the following blurb from the Buckley Chroncle, 20 Sep. 1895. "Geo. Krumwiede, we heaer, is sick and tired of Minnesota and on his way home. We welcome your return, as did the father of the prodigal son." The father of George August Krumwiede should have still been in Minnesota himself at this time.

George Henry KRUMWIEDE and Carolina Minna WEISENBARN were married on 13 Dec 1899.^50,53,61 The church record reads: "13 Dec: August Krumwiede to Caroline Weisenbarn by Blanken." I believe Pastor Blanken mistakenly wrote the name of the groom's father rather than the name of the groom. Carolina Minna WEISENBARN (daughter of Peter WEISENBARN and Mary JUERGENS) was born on 24 Mar 1880 in Elistown, Illinois.^10,50,120 She died on 13 May 1969 in Buckley, Iroquois County, Illinois.^121,122
