The Kruse family was having a business meeting at the end of the reunion Sunday (phlueeezzzeee somebody agree to be chairperson) so I went wandering, looking for something to shoot. I saw this in a window next to the exit. Yikes! It turned out that it's a plastic toy, left here by my niece's toddler. Um, so what's the right term for his relationship to me? Remember, I'm just an in-law.

STL DPB On The Prairie: Immanuel Lutheran Curch and School, Marshall County, Kansas
.
The bi-annual reunion of the descendants of Juergen and Anna Kruse was held yesterday at Immanuel Lutheran Church, out amidst the corn and soybean fields in rural Marshall County, Kansas. Kruse emigrated from Germany to the US in 1858, served in the Union Army during the Civil War (it was a fast track to citizenship or the cemetery) and later took up farming in Marshall County in northeastern Kansas. My wife, Carolyn, is the great granddaughter of Juergen and Anna.
The party was held in the church hall. It had an elementary school that operated for 127 years, closing in 1995 as the population changed. It has been preserved as a museum. Some artifacts are pictured below: my wife's school picture, age uncertain; baseballs neatly stacked along a shelf in the schoolhouse; and everything you needed to know at one time about Kansas' native population.
