#2:Elmer Frederick Kroneman, 90
Elmer Frederick Kroneman died on January 25, 2016, at Osage Rehab Center, of natural causes.
Elmer was born on April 28, 1925, in Mitchell County to parents Paul and Ida Kroneman. He joined his three brothers, Lloyd, Herbert, and Harvey, growing up on a farm west of Osage. At the age of 21, he trained at Fort Belvoir and joined the U.S. Army 79th engineers stationed in Guam.

He enjoyed working in his shop inventing new things like go-carts, a self-propelled snow blower, lawn mowers, tractors, and later the log cabin bird houses. Elmer liked riding his machines in parades, fishing, boating, bird watching and most importantly spending time with his family.
