Krigline was born in the Bavarian State of Germany, the third child/second son of Andreas and Margaret "Krueghlein" - although some census records had noted he was born in Pennsylvania. His family was found in the 1860 Federal census living in Summit Twp, Somerset County, Pennsylvania [Andrew "Kreegline", w/ John listed as 14, both born in Bavaria - M653-1183 Page: 623]. At the age of 16, John enlisted with the Union cause during the Civil War and served with distinction - first with Company C then with Company K of the Second Maryland Potomac Home Brigade from February 1862 to February 1865. A recently discovered Civil War veteran roster for 1889, revealed for the first time that he was wounded and injured during his 3 year service. After his three year service in the Second Maryland Potomac Home Brigade during the Civil War - he initially returned to Somerset County to rejoin his family. In August 1865, he was recorded as a witness for his sister Margaret's catholic marriage to John Dunn, a comrade from his Civil War service. This marriage record suggests that his proper given name was "Johanas". John and Euphemia P Pigg [d/o of TGW Pigg and Sarah Ann Kartchner] married in 1866 in Colfax, Iowa and moved to Kansas after the birth of their first child. No 1870 census record can be found for Euphemia and her second husband, John S Krigline - family history confirm that they were in Kansas. However, there is some confusion as to where the family first settled after their move to Kansas, John's 1928 obituary notes that the family was in Waterville, Marshall County, Kansas until 1871; but they may have lived near Mill Creek, Washington County before they moved to Republic County to begin a homestead near Rydal. The Kansas State censuses (1875, 1885 & 1895) revealed that the Krigline family had a 160-acre farm - At Stoney Point, their home began as a "dugout" house anchored in rock. The Belleville Telescope, June 30, 1881, reported that he discovered a three foot vein of coal on his property and he engaged a Geo.Stevens of Illinois to work the deposit. Obituary - John Krigline John Krigline was born in Baden, Germany, May 22, 1845, and died at his late home near Rydal, Kansas, August 6, 1928, at the age of 83 years, 3 months, and 15 days. Mr Krigline came with his parents to this country when he was a small child, the family locating at Myersdale, Pa. When 16 years of age he enlisted in the Union army in Company C, second Maryland volunteer infantry, giving three years of his life in patriotic service to his country. After his discharge from the army, he came to Colfax, Iowa, where he made his home for a number of years. On June 16, 1866, Mr Krigline was united in marriage with Miss Euphemia P Pigg, and to this union six children were born four sons and two daughters : Frank and Joseph, both of whom died in infancy; George D and Henry, both of whom reside in Topeka, Kansas, and Mrs Margaret Ann Stevens , who preceded her father 13 years and Mrs Mary Ellen Horkman, who resides near Rydal, Kansas. In 1868, Mr Krigline came with his family from Colfax, Iowa to Waterville Kansas, residing there until 1871m when he and his family removed to a farm near Rydal, Kansas, which he had homesteaded, and where he made his home until death claimed him. Mr Krigline was a member of the Catholic church until the date of his marriage, when he ceased his relations with that church, but never identifying himself with any other communion. Mr Krigline was a staunch patriot, who loved his country and in his later years he seemed to get a great deal of joy and comfort in talking loyalty to his friends and neighbors for the U.S.A. The deceased is survived by his wife, two sons and one daughter, two brothers and one sister; fourteen grandchildren; and twenty six great grandchildren and one great great grandchild, together with a host of friends and neighbors. The family take this means of expressing their thanks to all friends who so kindly gave assistance through the illness and death of their loved one. Funeral services were held at the U.B. Church seven miles north of Concordia, Kansas on Wednesday, August 8, 1928 at 2:30 P.M., H.G. Bond of Concordia, Kansas officiating. Interment was made in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery.
