Third Generation
12. Henry William
KRUMWIEDE was born in 1858.36
He appeared in the census in 1880 in Artesia Township, Iroquois County, Illinois.
He appears as the 22-year-old son of Henry Krumwiede with "works on farm"
as occupation on Film Number T9-0213 Page 13B He was in the news in 1895.37
Oct. 4, 1895 -- Est. Mary Dacosse, deed -- Henry Kruiwede appt admr: bond of
$1,000 apprd; letters ord. (Since Henry William Krumwiede was married to Eugenia
DaCosse, I have assigned this note to him. Mary would have been a relative of
Eugenia.) He died of a "fit of apoplexy" on 16 Feb 1941 in Randolph County,
Indiana.38 He was also known
as William Henry. Henry William KRUMWIEDE and Elise Dorothea (Lizzie)
FRICKE were married on 1 Aug 1881 in St. John's Lutheran Church (LCMS), Buckley,
Illinois.39,40,41 The church
record reads: "Heinrich Krumwiede to Elise Fricke by Pastor Blanken."
The file carries no date other than 1881. Witnesses listed in the church records
are: A. Krumwiede, Carl Fricke, Minna Wolf, Sophia Wolf. Carl Fricke was married
to Karoline Wolff on 23 Aug 1882. Elise Dorothea (Lizzie)
FRICKE (daughter of Ernst FRICKE and Dora (wife of Ernst) FRICKE) was born
on 7 Oct 1863.3,42 Lizzie is shown as age 7 on 1870 census, living in
Loda. In 1880 Elizabeth, age 16, is enumerated in the household of Jacob and
Hanna Kerns in Buckley. The enumeration is on the same page as the household
of her future in-laws, Henry and Doras Krumwiede. She died on 5 Oct 1887.3
1887
Elise Dorothea Krumwiede ne Fricke, wife of H.W. Krumwiede, b. 7 Oct. 1863, d.
5 Oct, age 24 years less two days.
Lizzie's ancestral family structure is extrapolated from the 1870 Federal Census,
showing the family to be living in Loda. 10 years earlier, they were in the 4th
Ward in Chicago, and this is likely where Lizzie was born. Henry William KRUMWIEDE
and Elise Dorothea (Lizzie) FRICKE had the following children:
Henry William KRUMWIEDE
and Eugenia (Jenny) DACOSSE were married on 8 Jul 1888 in Clifton, Illinois.43 The notation "Dispensation"
appears.
The following information was included in a letter from Dorothy Jean Krumwiede
Raney to Walter Krumwiede Jr. on 22 July 1987.
"Our grandfather, Heiny Krumwiede, was married before Ma Mere and brought
Aunt Lydia to this marriage. He married again after Ma Mere and had another large
crew in Indiana. Ma Mere was able to get a legal Catholic divorce because Henry
didn't live up to his signed marriage vows. He took my dad, your dad and Dewey
to be baptized in the German Lutheran Church in Buckley, so they were baptized
twice." Eugenia (Jenny) DACOSSE (daughter of Gregory
DACOSSE and Ferdinande HUSKIN) was born on 16 Aug 1858.44 She died on 5 Nov 1931.44,45

Mrs. Jennie J. Clark
Mrs. Jennie J. Clark, nee DaCosse, passed away at her home in Clifton last Thursday
morning after an extended illness of several months duration. The last few weeks
of her illness were most severe but despite all this she went through it all
with grit and determination to get well again but it was not to be.
Mrs. Clark was born near Clifton on August 16, 1858, and at the time of her death
was two months and nineteen days past seventy-four years of age.
At the age of 19 years she was united in marriage to Mr. John Hamende, and to
this union were born to children, both of whom preceded her in death.
A few years after her husband's death she was united in marriage to Mr. Henry
Krumwiede and to this union was born six children, all of whom survive. Following
this marriage they started a hotel known as the Clifton House and one which became
know to long distances as one of the best hotels in this section.
Mr. and Mrs. Krumwiede became separated and a few years later she was married
to Mr. Philip Clark. Together these two continued to operate the Clifton House
until the work became too hard for her and they retired from active life.
About three years ago Mr. Clark passed away and since that time she gradually
failed in health.
Mrs. Clark, through her business life became known far and wide for her kindness
and the courtesies extended to all and it was with sadness that the news of her
passing was received.
Mrs. Clark leaves to mourn her departure the following children: Theodore Krumwiede
of LaGrange; Lena, Mrs. Lawrence Baron, of Kankakee; Lillie, Mrs. Charles Johnson
of Clifton; Lenore, Mrs. Oval Flott of (unreadable); Walter Krumwiede, of LaGrange;
Dewey Krumwiede and Lydia, Mrs. Will Bodeman of Lakefield, Minnesota. She also
leaves two sisters, Mrs. Della Mathy and Mrs. Elizabeth Hamende of Clifton, and
Three brothers, Eugene DaCosse (sic) of Chicago and Arthur and Gaston DaCosse.
She also leaves nine grandchildren, who with the family will miss the kindly
administrations of a mother, sister and grandmother whose every thought was for
the welfare of her loved ones.
The funeral services were (unreadable) from St. Peter's Catholic Church, of which
she had long been a member at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning with the Rev. Fr.
E. A. Sweeney officiating at the solemn mass. During the service, Mrs. Arthur
Hamende of Chebanse, singing with the choir, sang (unreadable) a most beautiful
and fitting (unreadable).
Interment was made in the Clifton Catholic Cemetery. Six nephews were the pall
bearers, namely Arthur and Edmond Hamende, Fred, Ed, Emile (?) and Herman Mathy.
The flower managers were members of (appears to be Ever*** Camp R.N.A.) and these
offerings were of magnitude and beauty.
We extend to the members of this family our sincere sympathy in your bereavement.
Dear Ms. Barlow:
My name is Larry Johnson. I am a fifth generation descendant of Henry Konrad
Krumwiede, born and raised in Clifton, Illinois. My father is Kenneth Johnson;
his mother Lilly was the daughter of Henry William and Jenny DaCosse Krumwiede.
Recently I took an interest in our family genealogy and had the good fortune
to find your excellent Krumwiede history at the county courthouse in Watseka.
Today I visited your Web site. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate
your work on this project.
My immediate plan is to find out what happened to my great grandfather Henry
William, family member #7 on your tree. He was the second husband of Jenny DaCosse
Hammend. Any information you might have about his profession, previous or subsequent
marriages, and place of burial would be appreciated.
I am doing work on my grandparents and great grandparents and their lives in
Clifton: Johnson, Peterson, DaCosse and Krumwiede. Jenny DaCosse owned and
operated the Clifton Hotel for many years; its history is part of my project
too.
Thank you and best wishes to you.

The Krumwiede Family Records spell her first married name as HAMMEND. The spelling
in the records comes from a gleaning of the Iroquois County Marriage Records,
on file in the County Courthouse, as gleaned by the Iroquois County Genealogical
Society.
