context_page_description: Father Edward Leo Krumpelmann was an American Maryknoll Catholic priest, missionary, relief worker, medical aid worker and educator working in Kongmoon, Guangdong Province, China and Hong Kong in the mid 20th century. He served as vice rector of Mountain View, California, and established the Catholic parish of Kwun Tong, Hong Kong, and the local Catholic school whose buildings hosted the parish church.
context_section_description: In early 1975, Krumpelmann suffered from a blood clot in his left lung and returned to the U.S. on March 31. His condition improved in the following two months, but deteriorated suddenly in late June. He died shortly after his admission to Hennepin General Hospital (now Hennepin County Medical Center) in Minneapolis on June 23. Krumpelmann's body was transported to the Maryknoll headquarters in New York, and was buried in the Maryknoll Cemetery on June 26, 1975.
  According to the Maryknoll Hong Kong Chronicle that in November 1975, "the fruits of Fr Krumpelmann's efforts before his death, 62 tons of medical supplies, arrived on the USS Niagara Falls with the cooperation of Operation Hanclasp. The supplies were handed over to the St. Paul's Hospital Sisters in a simple ceremony on board the ship, with officials from the American Consulate and the US Navy present."
