April 1890, in Marion Co., Kansas geboren und genoß in Lehigh seine Schulbildung. 1912 ward er von seinem Vater getauft und Glied der Lehigh Mennonitengemeinde. Am 21, Juli 1912 heiratete er Lena Loewen und es wurden ihnen 8 Söhne geschenkt, wovon Eldo klein starb; die andern leben und sind der Mutter ein Trost und Stütze. Er war ein guter Vater, von festem Gottvertrauern und schämte sich nie Zeugnis für seinen Herrn abzulegen. Sein heiteres Gemüt gewann ihm zuerst hier als Postfahrer und woimmer er war, hier wie in Texas, viele Freunde. Zu einer Zeit als es vorteilhaft schien, die Familie nach Arkansas zu nehmen, schloß er sich dort der Nazarener Gemeinde an, da dort keine Mennonitengemeinde war. Später schloß er sich wieder hier der Lehigh Gemeinde an und blieb da Glied. Er war etliche Jahre ungesund und war sich bewußt, daß er jederzeit abgerufen werden könne, da er schon wiederholt Schlag gehabt. Wiederholt sagte er, er sei bereit dem Rufe des Herrn zu folgen. Nebst der Witwe trauern um ihn sieben Söhne: Mr. und Mrs. Arnold Krause, Vineland, N. J.; Mr. und Mrs. Waldemar Krause, Camp Butner, N. C.; Mr. und Mrs. Herbert Krause, Reedley, Calif.; Menno, U. S. Navy, Overseas; Ernest, Merchant Marine, Overseas, Edgar, Vineland, N. J., Roland, Ft. Collins, Colo.; dazu die betagte Mutter, Frau P. J. Krause, Newton und 6 Schwestern und Gatten: Mr. und Mrs. P. H. Klassen, Mr. und Mrs. J. H. Klassen, Mr. und Mrs. H. A. Ewert, und Mr. und Mrs. F. H. Klassen, Newton; Mr. und Mrs. C. C. Friesen, Lehigh, und Mr. Mr.[sic] und Mrs. L. R. McComb, Topeka, und viele Freunde. Die Begräbnisfeier war am 7. August und es dienten die Prediger B. H. Janzen und H. T. Unruh. Ein Quartett sang sein Lieblingslied: “Je größer Kreuz. . . ” “ Unsere Trübsal, die zeitlich und leicht ist, schaffet eine ewige und über alle Masse wichtige Herrlichkeit.”
