6. Anna Elizabeth "Karoline" SCHOH was born on 11 May 1860 in Settrup Anet Fuerstenau Hanover Germany.⁸ She was baptized on 17 May 1860 in Settrup Anet Fuerstenau Hanover Germany.³ (Possibly reads 11 May. An accidental "tittle" would cause the numeral 1 to be read as 7.) Paten: Margaretha Adelheid Schoh born Finke from Schale, and Anna Elisabeth Kraus born Pahls of Settrup. She died on 20 Mar 1899 in Buckley, Iroquois County, Illinois.^14,19,20

The Buckley Chronicle, March 24, 1899
Departed
Another highly respected and esteemed lady has been called to the home above. Mrs. H.C. Krumwiede departed from this life last Monday morning at 6 o'clock. Her sudden, unexpected death was a painful surprise to everyone. The deceased attended the funeral of the late Mrs. Scherkenbach last Thursday, and appeared to be in her usual health. During the evening of that day she complained of not feeling well and retired early, hoping to feel better on the morrow. But her hopes were not fulfilled. When it was noticed that the disease would not give way to the treatment, a physician was called. He pronounced a case of la-grippe. The patient grew rapidly worse and on Sunday (unreadable) to be sinking. Yet, hopes for her ultimate recovery were entertained. She was conscious up to about six hours before her death. At the break of day, her heart failed and the soul took its flight to the realms beyond. Only a few of the nearest relatives knew that she was sick. The community was so shocked by the announcement of her sudden taking off that it seemed incredible to believe. She was another of those meek, modest, unassuming natures, an exceptionally industrious woman. She was of retiring habit, and not much seen in society. She was a kind and dutiful wife and mother, sacrificing all for the health and comfort of her loved ones. 'Tis sad, extremely so, that she had to leave her family so soon.
Mrs. Carolina (sic) Krumwiede, nee Schoh, was born May 11, 1860, at Settrup, Anet Fuerstenau, Hanover. At the age of seventeen she, in company with her sister, Mrs. Sprehe and her husband, emigrated to this country. After a brief stay in New York they came west and located here. In the winter of 1884 the deceased was united in marriage to Mr. H. C. Krumwiede. The union was blessed with eight children, the oldest child being about 14 years old, the youngest 3 years.
The funeral took place last Thursday afternoon from the Lutheran church. Though the highways were in so bad a condition that it was a difficult task to travel over them, a very large congregation of sorrowful, sympathizing friends were present. Messrs. Knueppel, Luhrsen, Sachtjehn, Kottke, Jaster and Ahlfeld carried the remains to her last resting place. May she rest in peace till the day of resurrection. The husband and children are assured of the deep sympathy of the entire community.

Iroquois County Times
Mrs. H.C. Krumweide (sic) was taken with la grippe last Thursday evening and a complication of pneumonia and heart failure also set in. All that could be done was done but the efforts seemed of no avail. She died Monday morning of this week and was buried on Thursday. Funeral services were held at the Lutheran church by Rev. Glanken. The deceased leaves several samll children. It is a very sad affair and the citizens all sympathize with the family.

She was buried about 24 Mar 1899 in St. John's Lutheran Cemetery, Buckley, Illinois.⁶ Section A, Row 13A, Plot 57, to the right of her niece and Henry C. Krumwiede's second wife, Minna Sprehe Krumwiede. The stone is an old, white obelisk that is now, in 1996, almost unreadable. The family should do something to have it restored and sealed or a brass plate placed at the foot of the stone with the original text while there still are those alive who know what the stone says in full. "Karoline E, wife of Heinrich C Krumwiede, May 11 1860 - Mar 20 1899." She immigrated age 17.⁸ Karoline's granddaughter, Verna Krumwiede Heimlich, told me on Sept. 3, 1995, that the correct spelling of this surname is SCHO or SHO. Other spellings discovered during research are SCHOCH and SCHOUGH.

Anna Elizabeth "Karoline" SCHOH and Henry Charles KRUMWIEDE were married on 24 Feb 1884 in Iroquois County, Illinois.^8,21,22 The church record reads: "Heinrich Krumwiede to Anna Elizabeth Caroline Schoh 24 Feb. Witnesses to the ceremony were: August Krumwiede, Louis Krumwiede, Emma Krumwiede, Lina Giertz." Also recorded as County Record # 135 Henry Charles KRUMWIEDE²³ (son of August (Heinrich Gottlieb "August") KRUMWIEDE and Louise Sophia Marie Dorothea STERNBERG) was born on 5 Nov 1862 in Henry, McHenry County, Illinois. He was in the news in 1895.²⁴

15 Nov 1895 - Quite a number of friends gathered at Henry C. Krumwiede's house last Tuesday evening, to celebrate his 33d birthday. All present enjoyed themselves very much. Mr. Krumwiede is a pleasant, industrious gentleman. The Chronicle congratulates. Hope you will live to celebrate your 100th birth day.

22 Nov 1895 - Messrs. H.C. Krumwiede and Paul Jaster went on a sporting trip one day last week. They went to Melvin to sell a horse. After this part of the business was transacted, they rode to Melvin and "took in the town."

18 Dec 1895 - Mr. Wendt shelled corn Thursday and H.C. Krumwiede shelled Tuesday.

H.C. Krumwiede had storm doors and vestibules built by Louis Krumwiede to keep out the cold and accommodate the public. (This is one of several instances in which there is a suggestion that Henry Charles Krumwiede was a business owner. Given that the same issue mentions that the Columbia has a new vestibule, one wonders if "Willie's" cousins had an interest in the inn, grandpa ordered the vestibules built and either cousin Louis or Uncle Louis built them.)


He died of a heart attack on 21 Feb 1929 in Buckley, Iroquois County, Illinois.^25,26

"Heinrich C. Krumwiede b. 5 Nov 1862 Chicago d. 21 Feb 1929 buried 24 Feb 1929 age 66 yrs 3 mo 16 days." He was buried on 24 Feb 1929 in St. John's Lutheran Cemetery, Buckley, Illinois.⁶ Section A, Row 13A, Plot 57 (There was some disagreement when I asked in the past about the middle initial "C" in Henry's name. Some told me it stood for Charles, but others said it stood for Conrad. With the purchase of a transcription of birth records from Iroquois County, the mystery was solved. When Henry registered the births of his children, he used his own full name in the registry, and gave his name as Henry Charles.) Anna Elizabeth "Karoline" SCHOH and Henry Charles KRUMWIEDE had the following children:
