His death occurred at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 2, 1955 Henry, son of Alfred E. Kruger and his wife, Imke Pofhast, was born October 31, 1859 at Diele, Germany. He came to the United States on Jan. 8, 1882, locating in Iowa as his first place of residence in the new country. He married Martha Temple and to them were born seven children, four of whom survive their parents. The family home for many years was in the Sterling, Nebr., community, and Mr. Kruger farmed until he retired to live in town. His wife passed away June 4, 1922, at Sterling, and on Aug. 18, 1923, he married Mrs. Geo. Monroe, who also preceded him in death. Mr. Kruger had been a member of St. John Lutheran church 58 years and was its last charter member. He was a faithful member of the church and attended as long as his health would premit. During his declining years Mr. Kruger made his home in Sterling with his son and daughter-in-law, who gave him loving care at all times. He remained alert until almost the end of his days, and enjoyed the visits from family and friends, and took a keen interest in daily happenings around him. Survivors are four sons: Pete of Caldwell, Idaho; Henry Jr. and George of Lincoln, Herman of Sterling; one foster daughter, Mrs. Charlotte Wendt of Lincoln; 17 grandchildren; 37 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.
