He was hauling in corn from the field of Mr. Joseph Bender, which is also the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Bender. He was bringing in a load of corn and when the horses stopped a short distance away from the barn his son-in-law and others went to see what was wrong and found Mr. Kropf dead on the load of corn stalks. A doctor was immediately summoned to the scene and he pronounced death due to a sudden heart attack. The remains were taken to the house and were late removed to his home on Moyer street in New Hamburg. The late Mr. Kropf was born near Wellesley on November 22nd, 1875. In October 1897 he married Barbara Albrecht. They resided near Poole until about seven years ago where they moved to New Hamburg. In religion Mr. Kropf was a member of the Amish Mennonite Church.
