Of interest was the fact that Lydia and her brother George were the second set of twins born to the Krueger's. "Lyd" received her early education at Valley City, North Dakota. In 1910 she came with her family to Rudyard, Montana, in an immigrant car. They homesteaded near Rudyard and Lydia finished her formal education there. She attended Montana State Normal College at Dillon and earned a lifetime teaching certificate. In the 1920's and 1930's Lydia taught at numerous northern Montana schools, including Happy Hollow, Rathbun, Center, and Valley, all near Rudyard, and at Shambo School in the Bear Paws, and the schools in Zurich and Kremlin. On June 5th, 1933 she married Henry Joseph Langel in Havre. They made their home in the Rudyard community from that time on. Lydia taught in the Rudyard School system from 1935-1950. She served as the school clerk from 1952-1955. After she and Henry retired, they worked as caretakers at the Rudyard Cemetery for a number of years. Her husband died in 1977. She has remained at home in Rudyard since. Lydia's health remained excellent until 1991, when she suffered her first stroke. Her condition has slowly deteriorated, so her friend (Jan DeLaney) has been caring for her since. Lydia died peacefully at her Rudyard home on the early evening of Friday (January 3rd, 1997).She was 95 years old. Lydia had been a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Rudyard until its closing, then attended St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Havre. She was one of the original members of tne Hi-Line Senior Center in Rudyard. She was very helpful in the early planning of the local historical society; she helped buy the land and depot so that the Rudyard Museum could be established. Because of her interest in this project, memorials will be given to the Rudyard Historical Society. Lydia and Henry had no children, but she always lovingly said that "her children were all of her students". Lyd was believed in discipline and expected much from her students, but also was patient with students who had learning disabilities. Lydia came to Rudyard during her infancy and was part of the community's 86 years of growth. She attended the first day of the first school in Rudyard in the fall of 1910. She was on the very first girls' basketball team. She completed every course available in the Rudyard School system, so would have been Rudyard's first high school graduate had there been that opportunity at the time. In her earlier years Lydia enjoyed fishing, playing cards, and traveling around the Hi-Line countryside. Henry was a mechanic, so Lydia would go to farmsteads with him. She came to know everyone and where they lived. She enjoyed talking about local history. Up until the past few months her recall of people and events in Rudyard's history was unsurpassed. Lydia is survived by nephews and nieces. She is also survived by her friend and companion of 17 years, Jan Delaney, and her dog, Jorj II. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and siblings. George and Waldemar Krueger, Laura and Hertha Brandt, and three infant brothers. Funeral services were at Rockman Funeral Chapel in Chester. Graveside services were at Rudyard cemetery. Liberty County Times, Chester, MT, 8 Jan 1997 (excerpt)
