Wm. Krumradt passed away Friday, Aug. 1, 1947, at the age of 79 years, 4 months and 26 days, after a long illness.

He was born in the province of Hanover, Germany, March 6, 1868, the son of Fred Krumradt and Lena Saalja Krumradt. He came to the United States at the age of 21 and settled at Conrad where he lived until his death.

On Aug. 15, 1901 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Pageler.

He is survived by his widow and by a number of cousins. During his long life in Conrad he made many friends and acquaintances. His upright character and unassuming friendliness endeared him to all who knew him.
