Ferdinand A. Krueger, well known Watertown
cigarmaker and a former alderman and city treasurer, died here today at his
home,
Mr. Krueger was a native of Germany and was
born on
Four children survive, George and Adolph
Krueger, Mrs. W. H. Buending and Mrs. Walter Manthey, all of this city. There are three grandchildren.
Mr. Krueger was for 56 years a cigarmaker
here, having started his career at an early age in Wiggenhorn
Bros. cigar factory. He later went
into the cigar business with Henry E. Neumann under the name of Neumann &
Krueger and several years ago they dissolved partnership and since then Mr.
Krueger has been engaged in making cigars in a shop at his home.
He also served several terms as alderman and
also served as city treasurer and he was for many years secretary of the
Plattdeutcher Verein and head of the cigarmakers' association.
Mr. Krueger possessed many friends in this
community and was looked upon by everyone as a good type of citizen and a
friend. His death early today removes a
man who was genuinely liked and who enjoyed the esteem and respect of the
people in his community.
The funeral is being planned for Sunday, but
definite arrangements will be announced later.
The services in the home will be private, however, and will be followed
by services in St. Mark's Church of which he was a member.
Friends may call at the home beginning
Saturday
