In early infancy she was baptized in the name of the Triune God and then later instructed in fundamental doctrine of the Christian Religion and confirmed in the Ev. Lutheran Church , of which Church she was a member at the time of her departure. When 5 years of age, in company with her parents, she migrated to the U. S. A., coming to Waukesha and then moving to Clark County, where she has resided for about 32 years. In 1896 she was married to Gustav Kurzheim, which union was blessed with seven children. In 1909 he preceded her to eternity. On the 16th day of March, 1915 she was married to Henry Krause, which union was blessed with one son.
