Cross Came to this
country in 1881. Had six chilrden by
my first h,1sband-all living-four
in Muscatine and two at Adrian.
NY first husband died in 1898, caus-
ed by grippe. First met Aug. :
Karuse in 1897. My first husband
was a member of the A. q. q. W.
and had policy IN my favor for
$4,000. Knew Aug. Krause about
year before I married him. He
boarded with me about two weeks
before we were married. Never
told him wouldn't marry him unless
he had life insurance. We lived at
Muscatine until 1S99-two of my
children living with me. When we
came to Adrian only the boy came
with us-he is now 1s. At Musca-
tine Krause worked in a sawmlll.
The reason we moved. to Minnesota
was on account of my children. We
thought we would live more happi-
ly if we moved. My husband and
Niebert lmy son.in-law) never had
any trouble but once they got
along nicely. We lived at Adrian
little over year before ne got hurt.
We got along nicely-had a few
spats same as other people. Was
probably to blame for some of them.
