HENRY KRILL - A prominent
and highly esteemed resident of Edgerton, Williams County,
Henry Krill is widely and favorably known, not
only as the leading undertaker of this section of the
county, but as an extensive dealer in furniture, being head
of the firm of Henry Krill & Son, and as
president of the Oak Manufacturing Company, which has
established a large and successful business in Edgerton.
A son of John Krill, he was born, Apr. 10,
1859, in Germany, where he received his elementary
education.
Born, bred and educated in Germany, John
Krill lived in the fatherland until 1869, when he came
with his family to this country. Looking for a
favorable opportunity to invest his comparatively limited
amount of money, he came to Williams County, and having
bought forty acres of land in Saint Joseph Township, five
miles northeast of Edgerton, he was very fortunate in his
agricultural operations, and as his means increased added
sixty more acres of land by purchase to his original farm,
and continued its management until his death. He was a
republican in politics, and as a man of sterling integrity
was held in high respect throughout the community. To
him and his wife, whose maiden name was Elizabeth
Harradk, three children were born, as follows:
William, whose birth occurred Feb. 5, 1853, in Germany,
is engaged in farming in Williams County; Henry, the
special subject of this brief sketch; and Frederick, born
Aug. 22, 1861, in Germany, is carrying on general farming in
Defiance County, this state.
Having become proficient in the undertaker's art, which
he began to study in 1875, Henry Krill
embarked in the undertaking and furniture business with
J. H. Miller, in Edgerton, and met with excellent
success. Taking over his partner's interest in the
business in 1891, he conducted it alone for nearly thirty
years, devoting his time and energies to his work, and
having a large patronage, his services as an undertaker
being sought throughout Edgerton and the surrounding
country, while his dealings in furniture grew quite
extensive. In 1920 Mr. Krill admitted
his son, Edwin C. Krill, to partnership with him, and
the entire business, under the firm name of Henry Krill
& Son, is now being carried on with characteristic success.
Mr. Krill married, May 25,
1890, Mary Helmling, a native of Edgerton, and they
are the parents of four children, as follows:
Minnie M., born May 8, 1891, was graduated from the
Edgerton High School, in which she is now a teacher, and
also from the Baldwin-Wallace College, where she received
the degree of Bachelor of Arts; Oscar S., born May 2,
1892; Arthur Paul, born Dec. 16, 1893, and
Edwin C., born Sept. 1, 1895. Oscar S. Krill
completed the course of study in the Edgerton High School,
after which he was graduated from an embalming school.
He now has charge of a furniture and undertaking
establishment in Wyoming, where he has a homestead. He
married Golda De Groff. During the World war,
he served in the medical department. Arthur Paul
Krill, who is with Killinger & Company, of
Edgerton, married Zella Beach, of Edon, Ohio.
Edwin C. Krill, a member of the firm of Henry
Krill & Son, served in the medical corps during the
World war. He married Mabel Gabrial, of
Edgerton. Mr. and Mrs. Krill have four
grandchildren Mary Alice Krill, Max Krill,
Catherine I. and Martha J.
An active and influential member of the republican
party, Mr. Krill has served as treasurer of
the township and corporation in which he resides.
Fraternally he is a member of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, in which he is past grand; and is a member and past
chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. Religiously he
is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is one of
its official board, which he has served as president.
A man of good business judgment, Mr. Krill has
accumulated property of value, having a farm of eighty-six
acres, lying a mile north of Edgerton, and has a pleasant
home on Lynn street.
