General Notes: Husband - Robert Krause

---

He was eleven years old when his parents immigrated to Butler County, Pennsylvania. He received a common school education in his native land, and only attended school for six months after coming to America. He worked on the homestead farm until the autumn of 1861, when he enlisted in Company C, Eleventh Pennsylvania Reserve, and served until mustered out in 1865. He participated in the battles of Gaines Mill, where his whole regiment was captured and sent to Belle Isle prison, but exchanged in forty days, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness, with many other lesser engagements. His regiment was again captured at the Wilderness, and he was held a prisoner at Danville, Andersonville, Florence, and Castle Thunder, for different periods, until the surrender of Lee. Returning to his home in But­ler County, he resumed work on the farm. In 1867 he purchased a store at Hannahstown, and soon afterwards became associated with his brother, Alphonso, under the firm name of R. & A. Krause. In 1871 they located at Delano, where they conducted a successful mercantile business. They also carried on a planing mill at Freeport. His family was connected with the Hannahstown Lutheran church, in which he filled the office of treasurer and trus­tee. In politics, he was a Democrat, but conservative in his political views and opinions. He was treasurer of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company.
