    Notes:

    John Frederick Krapf was on the same ship to America as Dorothea Benkelman. He had been orphaned as a boy, and bound out to others until he came of age. Truman Krapf, his great-grandson of Hornersville, Missouri has a picture of John and Dorothea taken upon their arrival in America. They were married shortly thereafter. They first lived in Wisconsin, and later moved to a farm in Cass City.

    Fred and Louisa were charter members of the Evangelical United Brethren Church in Cass City.

    Art Peck shows that Fred Krapf remarried after Dorothea, to Christiana Weinhardt, and that they were the parents of Christian Frederick, Mary Caroline, Daisy Theresa, Mary Magdeline and Louisa Roceny KRAPF.

    Bonnie Petee abstracted the following regarding the Evangelical Association from "The History of Tuscola County, Biographical Sketches and Illustrations," H. R. Page Co., Chicago, 1883. "A class of this church which is commonly known as the German Methodist, was organized in the town of Elkland about the year 1866, by the Rev. Stephen Henne in connection with the Sebewaing mission. The class numbered about fifteen members. It has had regular services from that time to the present, and a regular succession of pastors. Services being held in the school-house, one mile north and one-half mile east of Cass City. In the latter part of 1882, a formal organization was effected at Cass City, and steps taken for the construction of a house of worship, which is now in course of construction. The earnest zeal of the members and their individual labors and contributions of material have reduced the estimated cost of the building to about $1,500. The pastor of the church at the present time is the Rev. B. F. Wade, who resides on his farm in the town of Elkland. The membership is about fifty. There is a preaching every second Sunday; prayer-meeting and Sunday-school every Sabbath. The trustees of the church are, John Benkelman, Fred Krapf, Oscar Sencner, Levi Muntz and Adam Benkelman."

    Notes:

    Art Peck writes that Mary was the oldest in a large poor family, and early on went to work for others. She married Henry Hills when she was just 18, and didn't learn until years later that he was nineteen years older than she. He was a house painter when they met in Cass City. Due to Henry's poor health, they moved to the warmer climate of Texas. They moved about, and in 1902, they settled on a farm in Poinsett County, Arkansas. Henry died here, and Mary lived with various children throughout her remaining years. Her final years were spent with daughter Belle in Pasadena, Texas.

    Mary married Henry Cleveland Hills on 11 Oct 1873 in Cass City, Tuscola County, Michigan. Henry was born on 22 Dec 1835 in Union, Broome County, New York; died on 13 Jan 1916 in Hornersville, Dunklin County, Missouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Peck writes that "Will Krapf, as a single man, accompanied his older sister, Mary, and her husband when they moved to Texas. Later he was one of the 20,000 who made a run for a homestead in the Cherokee Strip in Oklahoma in 1880. About 1900 he moved with his family to the "boot heel" country of southeast Missouri. He was an overseer for farmers. When his sons were old enough, he rented land for them to farm. He raised cotton and corn on this rich bottom land. He eventually acquired land of his own."

    Passing of Old Resident of Cass City

    John Krapf Came to Cass City in Early Sixties

    John Krapf who has been in ill health for several months, passed away Tuesday evening, February 24, after an operation to relieve an obstruction of the bowels. Mr. Krapf underwent an operation the previous Saturday for abscess of the stomach. He stood the operation well considering his weakened condition and was getting along nicely until Tuesay when the bowel trouble developed.

    John Krapf is among the early comers to Tuscola county. He was born near Milwaukee, Wisc. on January 10, 1861. When he was about two years of age, the family moved to Michigan, settling at Watrousville. About a year later they came to Cass City, settling on a farm 1 1/2 miles northwest of town.

    On October 15, 1885 Mr. Krapf was united in marriage with Evelyn Fisher, and after a residence of 12 years on an Elkland township farm, they moved to Pittsfield, Mass., where they resided nine years, returning again to Cass City. Mrs. Krapf died last July.

    He was a man of energy and industry and through of a retiring disposition he won many friends during his residence here. As a citizen, he was always obliging and true to any trust he assumed. Mr. Krapf was a member of the Methodist church.

    He is survived by three daughters, Miss Dora Krapf and Mrs. Walter Milligan, both of Cass City, and Mrs. Preston Allen of Detroit; two brothers, George E. Krapf of Cass City and Wm. Krapf of Hornersville, Mo.; and four sisters, Mrs. J.J. Gallagher and Mrs. D.C. Elliott of Cass City, Mrs. Cummings of Sterling, and Mrs. Hills of Hornersville, Mo.

    Funeral services will be held at the residence Saturday at 2:30 p.m.

    Mrs. D.C. Elliott Died Unexpectedly

    Friends of Mrs. D.C. Elliott were very much surprised and saddened when the news of her passing was conveyed Wednesday morning. She had worked in her garden onthe days previous and in the evening enjoyed an automobile ride with her son. She passed away during the night and in the morning was found dead in her bed by a neighbor, Mrs. Robert Warner. Mrs. Elliott was unusually active for her age. A few weeks ago she, with her son and other relatives, took a motor trip to Missouri to visit her brother in that state.

    Matilda Krapf was born March 7, 1863 in Elkland township and was married to David C. Elliott of Caro in 1881. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott lived in the state of Massachusetts from 1892 to 1905 when they returned to Cass City.

    Mrs. Elliott was a faithful member of the Evangelical church, of the Sundays School, the Woman's Missionary Society and the Ladies Aid.

    She is survived by one son, Burton A. Elliott; two grandsons, Leonard E. of Ubly and Francis E. of Bay City; one great grandson; two brothers, G.E. Krapf of Cass City and William Krapf of Hornersville, Mo. A son died in infancy and Mr. Elliott 12 year ago.

    Notes:

    He was born John Henry Hills, and changed his name to George John Roxson. Art Peck shows that he was born in Texas, whereas the California Death records has his place of birth as Missouri, and his mother's maiden name as KRAPF. His World War II draft registration also listed him as George John ROXSON, with his birthplace shown as Kennett, MO. He was a resident of Colusa, Califorina at that time, and employed by F. C. Stolte Co of Marysville.

    John left home when he was 24, working in Chickasha, Oklahoma, Kansas, Idaho, Washington and Montana.

    He crossed into Mexico at Nogales, Arizona in 1917 to avoid Military Service. This is when he changed his name. He chose Roxson based on the nickname he had given sister Annie, Roxyann. He wrote his mother in 1920, saying he planned to visit her soon. After the Mexican Revolution, he was unable to harvest his crops, and had no money. He never wrote back, and his parents thought him dead.

    The family moved to California in 1925. They farmed in the foothills, eventually settling in Upper Lake.

    After his wife died, John made his home with his eldest son, Fred.

    After admitting to his children his true identity, he visited his sister Beckie in Arkansas and sister Annie in Kansas City in 1973. They were his only surving family. They were reunited after a 60 year seperation.
