He married Alma Oberholser on 8 SEP 1880 in Masquoketa, Jackson Co., Iowa. . They were the parents of Ward, John D, and Iva. Ida County Pioneer Record - Thursday, January 8th, 1931 - Tidings Tuesday morning of the death of John P Krick in a hospital at Rochester, Minn., came as a shock to the people of Ida Grove, very few of whom realized that this prominent man was seriously ill. He passed into Eternity at 2:30 a.m. that day, after having lain in a state of coma for several days. It is said that failing health made its appearance about three years ago, but he was not considered ill until last September when he accompanied his son Ward on Oct. 31 to the hospital at Rochester, where Mr Krick underwent an operation, from which he never fully recovered. His wife, his son, John D Krick and his daughter, Mrs. Wilkinson were with him at the end. Ward Krick had been obliged to return home after spending four weeks with his father. John Peter Krick was born Dec. 13, I860 at Reading, Pa. and lived 24 days past his seventieth birthday His parents were Elias and Susannah Krick, who died when he was seven years old, leaving a family of six children to be cared for by different relatives. He came to Clinton county, Iowa, when he was 17 years old and when he was 21, he married Alma Oberholser and she, with three children, Ward W. of Logan township, John D. and Mrs. Iva Wilkinson of Ida Grove, survive him. He leaves six grandchildren to mourn the passing of the kindest of grandfathers. His brothers and sister all have preceded him in death. In the spring of 1884 with their infant son Ward, Mr. and Mrs. Krick came to Ida Grove where he went into partnership with his brother, James, operating a dray line. Four years later, J.M. took over the dray line and Mr. Krick went into the restaurant business in the building now occupied by Wm. O'Brien. In 1890, he bought and fitted up the restaurant now operated by Krick Bros. selling it in 1925 to his brother, James. He then bought a farm west of Ida Grove, where he family resided 11 years, then moving back to Ida Grove, where they have since made their home. Although retiring from hard manual labor, Mr. Krick could not be idle. He clerked in stores and operated a cream station for a while. His interest centered in his garden and lawn, taking the greatest pride keeping that neat to a superlative degree. Mr. Krick was elected to the Ida Grove city council in 1918 and reelected in 1920, serving the municipality with diligence and good judgment. He was a man of sterling character and absolute business integrity. No one long remained in doubt as to where he stood on questions involving right and wrong. He will be greatly missed by the sorrowing wife and children, as well as the aged mother of Mrs. Krick, who has made her home with them for years. He loved and cared for her as tenderly as any son could have done. The funeral will be held this afternoon, Thursday, at 2:30 o’clock at the Church of God, with Rev. R. Jinkerson in charge.∼Krick, John Peter December 13,1860-January 6,1931 ------------------ John KRICK Birth: 13 DEC 1860 Death: 06 JAN 1931 in Ida Grove, Ida Co, IA Former Councilman elected in 1918 and 1920, Restaurant Owner, and Drayman; He came to Clinton County, Iowa, when 17 years old, andmarried when he was 21 to Alma Oberholser.
