SAW TOWN OF WHEATFIELD GROW UP
Mr. and Mrs. Krueger Mark 50th Wedding Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Edward C. Krueger who live on the Krueger road in the Town of Wheatfield celebrated their fiftieth or Golden Wedding anniversary on Wednesday, November 28th at their home. Both are in excellent health and were actively engaged in their respective usual duties about the house and farm prior to the time they got ready for the evening's festivities. Mr. Krueger for the past 50 pears has operated a farm established by his father, the late Henry Krueger, after whom the highway on which it is located was named. He recalls well the spring of the year when the thoroughfare was opened connecting the old Sawyer's Creek road, now the Niagara Falls boulevard, with the Ward road. In the early days this was completely inundated but now the road is one of the best Improved highways in the town. Mr. Krueger, when a young man assisted in constructing the well-known town hall at St. Johnsburg and also served as a highway commissioner when the residents of each road cleaned out the ditches and scraped the highways with horses. From the years 1911 to 1915 he was elected twice as Town Clerk and was instrumental in making plans and purchasing machinery to start the Town of Wheatfield in maintaining its own roads. He himself helped to haul much of the slag and stone to form roadbeds in the various parts of the town. In later years he was appointed to the office of attendance officer for the township and also served for many years as an election inspector. He is a staunch Democrat and vividly remembers all of the old-time campaigns including the noted Grover Cleveland parades and demonstrations. After the Pan-American Exposition in 1901, Mr. Krueger purchased some of the choice lumber from the building temporarily erected and has a complete building on his farm constructed of absolutely clear material in which not a single knot appears. This was hauled from the site of the exposition in Buffalo to the Krueger farm with a team. While a member of the town board of the Town of Wheatfield remembers copying one of the first franchises for electric power lines into the town records. He also talks about the muddy road that preceded the present wide pavement of the modern boulevard near his home. Before establishing his home on the Krueger road farm, Mr. Krueger spent some time with his brothers and sisters who had taken up homesteads in North Dakota when this territory was opened. He is the only one of the family that returned to New York state. His nephew, William Krueger, Jr., and his wife are presently visiting relatives here. They are residents of North Dakota in Niagara not very far distant from the city of Grand Forks. In addition to his trip to the Wild West as it was then known he also served some apprenticeship on the original canal boats of the early Erie canal- Some of his relatives were owners and operators of such boats and Mr. Krueger often speaks of the stubborn mules that furnished the propelling power on the way to Albany and return. From Albany the boats were taken to New York city with steam tugs. Mrs. Krueger was born on the original Schueler farm now adjoining Payne avenue, near the present Gratwick school. She many times tells of playing on the timber logged to tne lumber yards of the Niagara river. She attended the parish school at St. Johnsburg and regularly walked back and forth daily winter and summer. Many of the present modern homes stand on ground that was covered with dense woods during those days. Mrs. Krueger has one sister, Mrs. Anna Broecker, and one brother, Albert Schueler still living. Mr. Krueger has only one sister, Mrs. Lottie Voelker of Niagara, North Dakota, living. All of the living children of the Krueger family were in attendance at the golden wedding festivities. They are Mrs. Esther Mielke and Mrs. Lucy Lambert of Niagara Falls; Mrs. Ruth Foster, Mrs. Meta Sarkovics, Henry Krueger of the Town of Wheatfield; Mrs. Lucinda Biladeau, Edward Krueger, Jr., and George Krueger, clerk of the North Tonawanda Board of Education, and Mrs. Mary Drmacich of Tonawanda. The Rev. Walter Thiemecke of St. John's Lutheran church appropriately addressed the celebrants. Mr. and Mrs. Krueger have been lifetime members of this church and Mr. Krueger has served in many capacities in the congregation. In commenting on the day of their anniversary the cheerful couple stated that they would continue to take life easy on the farm. They received many attractive gifts sp remembrances from their friends and family.
