Notes:

MR. FRED KRUG, SR.

The longest established and the store doing perhaps the largest business in Tavistock or for that matter in the county, is the mercantile business of Mr. Fred Krug, whose store is a veritable ark where the customers wants from a pin to an anchor can be satisfied. In boyhood days Mr. Krug endured many of the hardships of pioneer life. Born in Gartaw, Province of Hanover, Germany in 1843, the family settling in Berlin, Ont. His first experience in business was in the newspaper line. After attending the public schools for a few years he entered the office of the "Bauernfreund" in Waterloo, where he went through the old fashioned apprenticeship, under the late Jacob Teuscher. His experiences were such that few of our present journalists would care to face. It was part of his duties to deliver the papers which he did on horse-back. In winter or in summer, on not the best of roads and often times through storm and snow banks he found his way from one farm house to another with the papers. These were some of the experiences that laid the ground work of a splendid physique and the prompt business methods which have made him so successful. In January 1860 Mr. Krug left the printing office in Waterloo and removed to Tavistock - then called Inkerman - to accept a position as clerk in the log store conducted by the late Jacob Wagner. In 1870 he commenced business for himself, and in 1872 he formed a partnership with Mr. Adam Falk. The business was conducted under this partnership until 1884 when Mr. Krug took over the entire business and has since conducted it alone. The busines has grown steadily and rapidly and is to-day considered one of the largest general mercantile business in Western Ontario, employing about twenty hands; the most active worker being Mr. Krug himself. The store is an up-to-date departmental one. Every branch of merchandise is kept in the best assortment, and each department is managed as if it was a seperate business. Mr. Krug is one of the oldest importers in Western Ontario always making it a strict rule to pay cash, saving large cash discounts, in which, of course, his customers share. He is a large buyer and in sugar alone buys from one to three car-load lots; and also deals largely in Rio coffee, buying it green in the car-lots directs from the grower at Rio de Janiero. He was appointed Post Master in 1885. He built a handsome block which is occupied by the Western Bank of Canada and the post office, that would do credit to a much larger place. Mr. Krug has always taken a keen interest in municipal affairs and has assisted in all advancements of Tavistock.

Mr. John Krug is one of the active partners in the business and is agent for the Canadian Express Co. whose Tavistock office is located in the Krug block. He is a young man who has a promising future and his strict attention to business has enhanced his reputation in the community, and he is one of the most popular residents of Tavistock.

Mr. Fred Krug jr. who acts as postmaster is another of Tavistock's popular young men. As a musician he has acquired more than a local reputation. He plays a number of different instruments, and his services are highly valued in musical circles.

Krug: Robert Matheson Krug

The death took place in St. Luke's Hospital, Chicago, 111., on Tuesday morning, October 7th, of Robert Matheson Krug, youngest son of Mr, Fred Krug, of this village in his 29th year.

Deceased had been ailing for some time with ulcers of the stomach and as a last resort, he underwent three operations which seemed to benefit him so much that he was reported as being well on the road to recovery, but owing to some slight rupture, he was suddenly called away by the grim reaper.

Although it was a well-known fact in the village that he was seriously ill, yet telegrams received from time to time by his Father, conveyed the assuring news that he was slowly and satisfactorily recuperating, and the news of his death came as a great surprise and shock to all in the community, and caused deep regret and sorrow, for "Bob" was one of the village's most promising young men, and was well known and well liked by everyone.

The deceased was born in Tavistock in the year 1888. After graduating from the local collegiate, he entered the employ of the local branch of "The Trader's Bank," where he rapidly won promotion to the position of Teller, Here, many of his warm friends and acquaintances were formed. He was a prominent figure in the sporting circles of the village, figuring on the line-up of the local junior football team when they won the Championship of Ontario. He was, also, an adept and finished hockeyist and played on several local teams. As a pianist, he was an accomplished artist, possessing the instinct and intellect to be able to play almost any selection, no matter how difficult, from memory.

After leaving the village, he secured a lucrative position with the Trader's Bank at their Blind River Branch, and later when that institution amalgamated with the Royal Bank, he was transferred to their Toronto Branch. Here he remained until he was offered the position of Assistant Secretary of the Chicago Art Institute, at Chicago, 111, Sometime later he entered teh employ of the "Northern Trust Company," in the same city, and even in this great institution he was steadily rising and at the time of his death, occupied one of the most responsibel positions in the company.

On March 3, 1917, he was married to Miss Gladys Carpenter, only daughter of Mr. Newton H. Carpenter, Secretary of the Chicago Art Institute, who survives him and to whom we offer our deepest and sincerest sympathy in her early bereavement.


The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon, October 9th, and was very largely attended. Services were conducted at his Father's residence, "The Maples" by Rev. H. H. Turner, Pastor of Knox Presbyterian Church, at 1: 30 o'clock, with internment in St. Andrew's Cemetery, North Easthope.

Six boyhood friends of the deceased, Messrs. James V. Field, Charles H, Kaufman, Stanley McDermott, Robert R. Murray, Hartman Krug and Lome W, Appel, acted as pallbearers. He leaves to mourn his loss, a sorrowing Widow, his Father, three sisters, Mrs. Neil McVicar of Rosetown, Sask., Mrs. Robt. B. Moore, of Galt, and Mrs. E. B. Arnott, of Tavistock; three brothers, Fred of Kitchener, John F. of Tavistock, and Dr. Henry S. Krug of St, Louis, Mo., besides numerous nephews, cousins, uncles, and aunts, and a host of friends. To these are extended the heartfelt sympathies of the community.

Friends and relatives were present from Stratford, Woodstock, Kitchener, Toronto, Chicago, St. Louis, Galt, and numerous other places, who all came to pay their last respects to a good, true and loyal friend. They included Mr. and Mrs. Hartman Krug, and son, Ludwig, Rev. Fr. Fischer and Mr, Oscar Rumpel, of Kitchener; Dr. J, P. Rankin and daughter, Winnifred; Messrs. C. E. Mcllhargey and son, Eugene, and W. D, Martin of Stratford; E. W. Nesbitt, M.P., and daughter Effie, and Mr. Coventry of Woodstock.
