Death of a Well Known Citizen.
Mr. Henry Kruse died on Thursday, October 20, 1898, at his late home seven miles
northwest of here in Hayes Township, Crawford County. Mr. Kruse was born in Germany
forty-two years ago on November 3, 1856. In 1866, he came with his parents to America. In 1881, he was married
to the wife, Magdalena (Lemster) who, with six children, today mourn his departure. Mr. Kruse also leaves a
father, one sister and one brother, all of whom reside in this vicinity. Mr. Kruse came to
this section more than twenty years ago, and at the time of his death he was the
possessor of a splendid estate. He was an honorable man and had a large circle of friends.
The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon and the remains were laid to rest in the Hayes Township cemetery. The funeral oration, which was delivered by Rev. William Martens, was published in Der Manning Herold today.

I'm occasionally adding the actual scanned image of the obituary I make using my VERY expensive - large commercial scanner,
and/or also other articles about the deceased person that were published in the Manning Monitor.
I want to also comment about people who are taking my obituaries, pictures, and/or other articles about a person/family and posting them on other websites.
You do NOT have permission or the right to do this - you are stealing my historical work.
Buy your own scanning equipment, pay for memberships to other commercial websites,
and spend decades working on your local history like I have - then you'll understand why I'm making these comments!
Thank you for your attention to this matter - Dave Kusel
