Notes |
- Anna married Stanley LeFevre Krebs on September 17, 1890 at First Reformed
Church, Lancaster, PA.
Stanley's father, Walter E. Krebs performed the ceremony, assisted by the
local pastor.
Four children:
Katharine (1891-1892). Buried in Mt.Carmel cemetery, Littlestown, PA
Stanley Walter (1896-1984) music composer
Anna Belle (ca. 1903- )
Josephine (ca. 1906- ) dance instructor
Stanley was pastor of St. Andrew's Reformed Church, Reading, PA 1890-1901.
Dec. 1899 Anna makes the newspapers because she announced she would run for
public office, even though women did not have the right to vote! Sort of a
school board position. Later she denied that she would run.
Stanley and family moved to First Church, Greensburg, PA 1901-1906
Then he took a series of secular positions. He ended up as a Chautauqua
lecturer. He was a spell binding speaker.
He met Marjorie Main (best known for her Ma Kettle movies) in 1913 on the
Chautauqua curcuit.
In 1920 Stanley and Anna were living in the Bronx, NY. Anna was running a
boarding house. Stanley's father was living with them as well as the three
children.
Some time in late 1920 or early 1921 Stanley and Anna were divorced.
Stanley married Marjorie Main on November 2, 1921. He was 57 and she was 31.
They mostly lived in hotels in New York City. [THIS IS THE NEW INFO.] In
1930 Anna was living in an apartment on Riverside Drive, NYC with son
Stanley and daughter Josephine. Anna and Josephine had changed their names
to Frantz, Anna's maiden name. It must have been a messy divorce. DO YOU
WHAT BECAME OF ANNA?
Stanley died in 1935 and was buried in Littlestown, PA. My hometown.
Let me know if this info is helpful.
