DANIEL KRUMDICK

FIRST COUNTY WHITE CHILD WEDDED 50 YR'S
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Krumdick Have Golden Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Krumdick, 624 Jay street, pioneer and respected 
residents of the city and county, are today holding open house in 
celebration of the golden anniversary of their wedding. With the son 
John and daughter Mrs. Charles A. Groffman and the five grandchildren 
of the family present the couple are receiving congratulations from 
a host of friends who are calling to pay their respects to the couple 
who are both hale and hearty and in enjoyment of health which gives 
promise that they will live to celebrate their wedding anniversary 
for many years to come.
Mrs. Krumdick, the bride of fity years ago was born in Prague, Germany 
and came to the United States with her parents when but a child. The 
big Chicago fire was responsible for her coming to Manitowoc, she losing 
all of her clothes and being compelled to flee for her life. Previous to 
her marriage she was Miss Havlinek. The bridegroom of fifty years was 
born in the Town of Kossuth, the first white child to be born in the 
township and next July will celebrate his seventy-fifth birth anniversary, 
having waited until he was nearly twenty-five years old before getting 
married.
Too Young To Go To War
At the time of the Civil War Mr. Krumdick begged to be taken along when 
his three brothers and Henry Schmidt left for the front but the recruiting 
officer refused his request. He was too young. Only one of the three 
brothers returned, the others falling in battle.
January 10, 1872 Justice of the Peace James McCarthy pronounced the words 
which united the Miss Havlinek and Daniel Krumdick in marriage and the pair 
proceeded to make a home out of the wilderness near Rockwell. Thirty-three 
years ago they came to the city and have alweays (sic) since made their 
home at 624 Jay street where the celebration is being held today. Beside 
the two children present today, only one other child was born to the couple, 
a son who died in infancy.

STROKE WEEK AGO IS FATAL TO D. KRUMDICK
First White Child Born in Kossuth Dies at Age of 79
Death claimed Daniel Krumdick, one of the oldest residents of the city 
and the first white child born in Kossuth, at his home 624 Jay street 
shortly before midnight last night, his demise being the result of a 
stroke which he suffered a week ago and which his advanced age made it 
imposible to rally from. Mr. Krumdick was stricken Thursday October 7 in 
the yard at his home while he was caring for his chickens and although 
he rallied, his fight to live was a losing one. The end came peacefully.
Mr. Krumdick, who was born in Kossuth July 28, seventy-nine years ago 
when the section was a wilderness, had made his home in this city for 
forty years, during 38 of which he had been employed with the Henry Esch 
Sons Co., retiring because of his advancing age. He was an ardent lover 
of flowers and gardening and his chief interest in life was his home. Mr. 
and Mrs. Krumdick celebrated their golden wedding anniversary four years 
ago and the life of the couple had been ideal. Mrs. Krumdick, with two 
of three children born to the couple, survives, the children being Mrs. 
Charles A. Groffman and John Krumdick, both of this city. There are five 
grandchildren and two great grandchildren also surviving.
Died as He Lived-At Peace
Mr. Krumdick was well and favorably known in the city and throughout the 
county, having come in contact with the public in his association with 
the Esch Sons Co., and he was universally esteemed. "Daniel Krumdick died 
as he lived-at peace with all" was the tribute of a friend today that 
aptly pictures the life of the decedent.
Funeral Held Monday
Funeral services for Mr. Krumdick will be held from the home on Jay street 
Monday afternoon. The Rev. Menke of the Reformed church will officiate at 
the services at two o'clock.

was made late last fall and on that occasion he was given a "lift" by a 
motorist, admitting that the long walk was a bit too strenuous. However, 
Mr. Kugler prided himself on his activity and insisted that when he was 
unable to make the trip afoot into town, it would be time for him to 
pass.
Despite his 94 years Mr. Kugler who celebrated his birthday on March 23, 
was able to read his daily paper and kept in touch with world events.

America in youth, locating in Manitowoc county which has been his home 
for three score years or more. Mr. Kugler was twice married, his first 
wife with whom he had three children, one of whom Mrs. P. Burke, of 
Hibbing, Minn., survives, passing away nearly sixty-five years ago. 
About sixty-two years ago Mr. Kugler was married a second time to Amelia 
Schultz this county who preceded him death six years after the couple had 
celebrated their fifty-fifth wedding anniversary. Of this later marriage 
one daughter, Mrs. Anna Fitzsimmons of the state of Washington, and three
sons, Walter, Herman and Frank, all of Rapids survive.
There are twenty grandchildren, ten great grandchildren and one great 
great grandchild also surviving.
Odd Fellow 52 Years
Mr. Kugler had been identified with the Odd Fellow order for fifty-two 
years and was a member of Manitowoc lodge No. 194 which will have charge

The funeral of John Kuhnle, yesterday afternoon, was the most largely attended, 
that has taken place in this city.  The firemen and sons of Hermann came out in 
full force; fifty carriages of all kinds, followed in procession.  The music on 
going out, was very solemn and impressive, but it was painful to hear it on its

MESSAGE OF DEATH OF LOCAL GIRL
Telegrams received here brought news of the death at Modesto, Calif., 
of Mrs. Henry Kulha, nee Vlasta Krainik. Death occurred on December 31 
and was the result of complications following the birth of a child. 
The baby survives its mother.
The marriage of Miss Krainik, who was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. 
Krainik of this city and Henry Kulha was the culmination of a war 
romance. Miss Krainik met her husband when he was on the train enroute 
to battlefields of Europe. An acquaintanceship was formed the two 
corresponded. Upon the return to America Mr. Kulha came to Milwaukee 
and the two were married and departed for California where they made 
their home at Modesto on a large ranch owned by Mr. Kulha. On Dec. 17 
a baby was born and everything appeared well and the home was made 
brighter and happier. Then the mother began to fail and and death came 
on the last day of the year bringing untold sadness.
Arrangements have been made to bring the remains to this city for the 
burial and will arrive either Monday or Tuesday. It is probable that 
the funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon from the chapel at Evergreen 
cemetery.
Mrs. Kulha was about 30 years of age and besides her husband and babe 
is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Krainik of this city, 
and a number of brothers and sisters at Milwaukee.

JOHN J. KUSTKA

From Der Nord Westen, 07 Apr. 1904:
John Kutska(sic), a resident of the 5th Ward, brought his life to an end 
Fri. evening by hanging himself in the cellar of his residence. He 
had come here from Bohemia several years ago and was a button maker 
by profession, but over the past few years has worked the glue boiler 
in the school furniture factory. He contracted consumption and had to 
give up his work several weeks ago because of increasing weakness. He 
and his wife and 4 small children were hard hit by these circumstances 
and led him to suicide. Fri. evening after the children had gone to 
bed, Mrs. Kutska remained up with her ill husband but finally went to 
bed on his promise he would soon follow. Instead he went to the cellar 
and hanged himself from a rafter. Mrs. Kutska awakened at 2 o'clock Sat. 
morning, realized her husband was not in bed and went looking for him. 
She lit the cellar and found her husband's body. Neighbors were notified, 
the body taken down and a doctor called, and it was established that 
life had gone. Justice of the Peace Falge held a coroner's inquest, and 
the jury returned a verdict of suicide. Kutska was about 43 yrs. old.
