  • Notes 
    • Mrs. Hartman Krug Passes in Her 90th Year

      Mrs. Annie Theresa Krug, widow of Hartman Krug, founder of the H. Krug Furniture Co., Ltd., died at her residence, 119 Ontario St. North, early today after an extended illness. She was in her 90th year.

      Born July 24, 1860, daughter of the late William Dunn and Annie McGovern, she was a life- long member of St. Mary's R.C. Church and took an active part in the Catholic Women's League and the Christian Mothers' So- ciety. She was well-known in church, social and civic circles for her charitable and philan- thropic work.

      Husband Died in 1933

      Mrs. Krug was predeceased by her husband in 1933.

      While she was confined to her home during her declining years, she retained a keen interest in church and charitable affairs, lending her patronage and aid to numerous charitable enterprises.

      She is survived by four sons, Rudolph W., Harvey T., Henry C., and H. John, all of Kitchener.

      Three daughters also survive her, Mrs. Leo McLaughlin and Mrs. Harold Wurster of Toronto, and Mrs. William Roos of Port Elgin. Two daughters, Miss Frances Krug and Mrs. Gerald Mc- Hugh, predeceased her.

      Funeral on Saturday.

      She leaves one sister, Mrs. Albert E. Ruby of Kitchener, 13 grandchildren and two great- grandchildren.

      The funeral will be held at St. Mary's Church Saturday with a solemn requiem mass at 10 o'clock. Prayers will be offered at the residence at 9:30.

      Interment will take place at Mt. Hope Cemetery. The body is resting at the residence.

      _____________

      The first automobile in Kitchener which I vividly remember was one owned by Mr. and Mrs. Hartman Krug. It was an Auto-car, made in Ardmore, Pa., and they bought it along about 1904. It was a two-cylinder, 12-horse- power touring car without windshield or top. Steering was done by manipulating a handle or bar, instead of a wheel.

      The body of the car was painted a bright red and the lights were huge shiny brass ones of the coach type. They were carbide lights. Every once in a while the burned-out carbide had to be taken out and fresh put in.

      Entry to the rear seating compartment was, not through an opening in the side of the car, but through a rear opening like in the old dog-carts.

      How we kids would hang around the Krug place, hoping to get a ride. Soon our p tience and persistence were rewarded, for one fine day Roddy Krug drove us around the block. That was my first auto ride in Kitchener.

      The Krug automobile helped make local history when Prince Louis of Battenberg (Mountbatten today) visited here on Aug. 30, 1905. The story of that visit is an interesting one.

      Prince Louis, who was a favorite of Queen Victoria's, was born in the little German principality of Hesse.

      The Queen allowed him to enter the Royal Navy at the age of 10. He became a naturalized British subject. At the time of his visit he was a British admiral.

      Prince Louis had landed at Quebec and proceeded to Toronto, I believe for the opening of the Toronto exhibition. He had refused invitations to visit other centres.

      But our town clerk, Mr. Aletter, suggested that because Prince Louis had been born in Hesse and there were many Hessians here, he be invited to visit the town. The two local dailies printed that suggestion.
      Mr. Aletter sent copies of the papers to the German consul at Toronto. And as a result he received a telephone call from the consul saying Prince Louis would be glad to have an invitation.

      So Mayor Carl Kranz sent a formal invitation, to which he received the following telegraphed reply:

      "Prince hopes to arrive by automobile about midday tomorrow alone. Expressed a desire for a good German meal with beer instead of champagne. Will remain a few hours. Am writing. S. Nordheimer, German consul."

      On Aug. 13, thinking that Prince Louis would drive up via Guelph, Mayor Kranz and a reception committee drove out to Breslau to meet him. They went in the Krug car, with Roddy Krug driving.
      But the prince and his aide came via Hamilton and Preston. When they arrived at the town hall and were told that the mayor had driven to Breslau to meet them, Prince Louis told his chauffeur to drive them out to that village.

      Spotting the Krug car, Prince Louis had his car stopped, jumped out, ran up the road to the reception committee and introduced himself.

      The party returned to town and had dinner at the Berlin Club. (I don't know if they had beer).

      Then the prince was taken on a tour of the town and to a public reception in Victoria Park. He enjoyed himself so much that he had a phone call put through to Toronto, postponing a 6:30 engagement for an hour.

      He didn't get away from here until 4:15. But they arrived in Toronto shortly after 7:30. Later accounts told of the breakneck speed at which they had driven, going around curves so fast that three or four times the car took to the ditch.
