A telegram from Sheridan, Wyo., this morning announced the death of Fred Kroehler, sr., a former citizen of this place, at 6:30 this morning. Mr. Kroehler was well known here, having lived in Plattsmouth for a number of years. He reared a large family here, who are now elsewhere, one son Edward, living at Sheridan, Wyo., and with whom his father made his home. The remains will be brought to this city for burial and will arrive here on Friday morning, the funeral occurring from the Burlington train No. 4, which arrives here at about 10 o'clock. More concerning the funeral and death, as well as the life of this man, will be given in a latter issue. The cause of death is not known, but Mr. Kroehler was troubled greatly by asthma, and for that reason went to live in the high altitude, which the mountain home of his son, Edward, afforded. The Plattsmouth Journal, January 13, 1908, Page 1: AN OLD SETTLER PASSES AWAY Funeral of the Late Frederick Kroehler -- The Remains Were Laid at Rest in Oak Hill Cemetery. The funeral of the late Frederick Kroehler occurred Friday morning from the Burlington train No. 4 at 10 o'clock the remains having come from Sheridan, Wyoming, where he died Wednesday morning at 6:30 o'clock. Peter Kroehler, the father of Frederick and George Kroehler, was a prosperous German farmer, living in Hessen Dramstadt, Germany, having a family of four children - George Kroehler, who lives in this city, Jacob, who has always lived in Germany, a daughter Katherine, who came to this country in the early sixties, marrying in Milwaukee, Wis., to a man by the same name, and after losing her husband, came to this city, where she died in 1869; and the last, Frederick Kroehler, the one whose funeral we are now recording, who was born Sept. 15, 1845. During his early life, his boyhood and early young manhood he worked on his father's farm in Germany, coming to this country with his brother, George, who had spent some four and a half years here, and had visited the old country, bringing his younger brother, a youth of nineteen, with him. This was in the latter part of 1863, and immediately after landing, Fred sought work, and finding an opening, learned the cigar maker's trade. Miss Anna Elizabeth Reese, who was born in Germany, had moved here, and made her home in America, living at Cumberland, Maryland for a number of years, coming to New York in 1862 to live with an uncle. It was here that early in 1864 she met with Fred Kroehler, and was united in marriage with him March 29, 1864. To this union were born seven children, two of whom have preceded their parents to the other shore. Five are still living, and are Mrs. Herman Kleitsch, Weeping Water; Fred and Wm. Kroehler, living at Havelock; Edward, living at Sheridan, where his father was making his home at the time of his death, and Frank, making his home at Norfolk, where he is engaged as a machinist for the Northwestern. The other boys are working for the Burlington. In 1865 the Kroehler brothers, living in New York, came west. George came to Plattsmouth, where he has made his home ever since, while Fred moved to Milwaukee, working at the cigar maker's trade for three years, and in 1868, came to this city, where for nearly forty years he has made his home. During the past few years he has lived with some of his children elsewhere, but clung to this place as his home. During the first year he engaged in the cigar business for himself, but at the end of that time discontinued it and engaged in contract work, grading, teaming and anything that offered a proposition for the turning of an honest dollar. For two years he was street commissioner of the city of Plattsmouth. Some five years since his wife suffered a stroke of paralysis, and there being no one left at home to care for her, she made her home with the boys residing at Havelock. Mr. Kroehler then went to Weeping Water, where he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Herman Kleitsch, for a number of years, then going to Havelock where he was employed in the Burlington shops. After the death and burial of his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Kroehler, which occurred on the 21st of September, he went to make his home with "Barney" Miller on his farm in Missouri, where he was troubled with asthma to such an extent that he could not stand the climate, and went to Havelock, with but little or no relief and shortly afterward was sent to Sheridan, Wyoming, where it was supposed the higher altitudes and the mountain air would benefit him. Last Sunday Mr. Kroehler was taken with pneumonia, which grew worse very rapidly. While everything was done to alleviate his sufferings and overcome the effects of the dread disease, he continued to grow worse until Wednesday morning at 6:30, when he passed away. The remains arrived this morning with the relatives and a number of the friends of the family from Havelock, and were met at the Burlington station by the members of Evergreen Camp, No. 70, Woodmen of the World, of which he was a member, carrying an insurance of $2,000, therein. The services were conducted by the Woodmen of the World, and interment was made in Oak Hill cemetery, the pallbearers being J. L. Root, Joseph Kelly, H. R. Gering, Fred Olenhausen, Phillip Thierolf and Wm. Rischel. A. A. Randall, pastor of the Methodist church, delivered the funeral address.
