Ado,ph Krumpanitzky was born in
Cincinnati, Ohio, 6S years ago. The
early part of his life was passed in
Indiana. During the Civil war he
Joined the nth Indian mounted infan-
try, and did heroic service for his
country. His comrades of war times
were ever held dear to him. While
he never joined the local organiza-
ton of the G. A. RS he frequently
attended the state and national reun-
ions.
While still a comparatively young
man, he and his brother Henry en-
barked in the grocery business in 1lli-
nois. Later they moved to Trinidad,
Colo, and the year 1880 the family
located in Durango.
For number of years he and his
brother were engaged in the stock
business. About sixteen-years ago he
disposed of his interests in this line
and purchased the valuable ranch near
Mancos that was his home at the time
OF his death.
He was person of wonderful vi
til;ty, which enabled him to success
fully combat for many months the
disease which caused his death. About
year age, he was taken critically
i'll, and for some time his recovery
seemed impossible. With the coming
Of spring he rallied and had been
quite well until ten days before his
death. He was able to attend cleo
tion and cast his vote. The day aft
erwards he was stricken with the old
time trouble, and failed rapidly until
tie end came Friday evening.
He and the brother who preceded
him to the Great Beyond by four
days were the most devoted of men.
Many times during his illness he said:
"When I go ! will take Henry with
me-" Frids,y the day he passed
away, he sa d to his surviving brother.
Tor lsrrow will be with Henry"
hNfe they had never been separated.
In death they are still united.
Adolph Krumpanitzky was truly
'the soul of honor, honesty and in
tegrity." He was modest and un-
obtrusive, but his true worth was rec
ognized by large circle of acquaint-
arces. Again and again we hear in
stances of his courtesy and kindness
cited. hut these never crossed his lips.
Hr was a prominent member of the
X. of P. lodge, and like his brother
Henry, his life beautifully exemplified
the teachings of the order. During
his illness, the Mancos lodge did ev-
erything that could be done to al
leviate his suffering. When Death
had claimed him and his body was
brought here for interment the Du-
range lodge conducted his burial ser
vice and did all in their power to
tighten the burden of sorrow that was
the portion of the members of the
bereaved family. For these many
thoughtful acts those who are left be-
hind extend their most heartfelt
thanks.
The deceased is survived by two
sisters, Mrs. S. w. Raymond Of Du-
range, Mrs. Pack of California, and
Mr.. Matt Krumpanitzky Of this city.
To them the hundreds of friends in
the San Juan basin extend sympathy.
