Carl township of Adams county with his parents in the year of 1882 and
has resided in the township since that time. His mother and father
preceded him in heath, his mother in 1915 and his father in February of
1932. He is survived by his three sisters, Ellen K. Miller of Parnell,
Iowa, Mary (Mrs. J. P.) Miller, east of Prescott, and Mrs. J. D. Hatton
northeast of Corning; and two brothers, Nicholas and Peter, who reside
on the home place which had been the home place which had been the home
of the deceased for many years.
Mr. Krebsbach spent his life farming and was respected and
honored by his neighbors and friends as a gentleman of fine principles
and unquestioned integrity. He had been ill for some time but was able
to be up in his chair the day he was taken to the hospital. His death
brought deepest sorrow to his many friends and his devoted family. He
was a member of the Corning St. Patrick church and was always loyal to
his faith. His two brothers and four nephews acted as pall bearers.

accompanied her mother to Corning to attend the funeral of his uncle.
