Mrs. Rena Krull, nee Kruse, was born July 20, 1848 at Schirum, East Friesland, Germany. On October 20, 1872 she was united in marriage to Henry Evert Krull. In 1882 Mr. and Mrs. Krull and their family of four sons came to the United States and settled on a farm near Ackley. Four more children were born to this union, all girls, two of whom preceded their mother in death.

The winter months of the past few years she has spent in the home of her eldest daughter, Mrs. Menno Harms, at whose home her death occurred on Feb. 23, after two weeks of illness. She had reached the age of 86 years, 7 months, 3 days.
