Krueger, Walter and Catherine (22 April 1933-1983)
Mr. and Mrs. Walter (Catherine) Krueger of Abbotsford were married 50 years
April 22. The celebration was April 23 at the Colby VFW Hall in Colby, where
open house was held. The meal was served by the Ladies Aid Society.
Krueger was born and raised on the home farm at Curtiss and Catherine Schiffler
was born and raised in Rice Lake. He had worked for Charlie Winkel in Rice Lake,
where the two met and were married in 1933.
The Schifflers purchased some land in Louisiana and the Walter Kruegers stayed
with them briefly before coming back to Avoca, then to Rice Lake area. They soon
located in Curtiss and rented a farm from Frank Marquardt in Milan, working that
farm seven years.
In 1943 they purchased the Krueger farm in Curtiss, living on that farm until
the spring of 1980, when their son, Dennis, bought the farm. They now live in an
apartment in Abbotsford.
The Kruegers have six children, Arlene, Geraldine, Frederick, Patricia, Dennis
and Pamela; 17 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
They are members of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Curtiss.
