Bio

Arthur Andrew Krause was born at the farm home of his parents, near Pleasanton, Nebraska, on the 13th day of January, 1902. The cold bleakness of that winter day was in direct contrast to the warm personality developed from that first tiny spark of life. Mar. Krause, or "Art," as he was better known, was the fourth child in a family of four boys and two girls, and his earnest disposition soon endeared him to friends and relatives alike. He received his early education in te rural schools near Pleasanton, but when only 13 years of age he left his parents' home and began to make his own way in life. Various occupations took him into different parts of the country, during which time he was employed on a railroad and also as a telephone lineman. Returning to Kearney about 1919, Art continued working as a telephone lineman and also took up apprentice painting under Art Young. The first major job he worked on was the newly completed Good Samaritan Hospital, after which he took up painting and decorating as his life work. His excellent craftsmanship in this occupation, together with his meticulous attention to detail was an early indication of success. A great many Kearney citizens have repeatedly called on Art for their painting and decorating needs. On march 2nd, 1925 he was married to Merna V. Osborne, to which union was born their only child, Esther. A year after the birth of their daughter, they moved into their newly erected home at 2002 12th Avenue, in Kearney, which residence they have occupied to the present time. Mr. and Mrs. Krause were united with the First Methodist church, in Kearney, during 1926, which membership continues to the present time. Mr. Krause departed this life at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney on November 20, 1942, after the comparatively short stay on this earthly sphere of 40 years, 10 month, and 7 days. His death was preceded by an illness of five weeks. He leaves to mourn his passing his wife and daughter, two brothers, John C. Krause, of alliance, Nebraska, and Staff Sergeant Harry C. Krause, of Tucson, Arizona; two sisters, Mrs. Olive Hughes and Mrs. Florence Fries, of Ravenna, Nebraska; and one step-sister, Mrs. Ruth Loth, of Kearney. His father and mother, as well as an older brother, Fred, preceded him in death. Art's winsome personality, his love for his family and for small children, as well as his compelling friendliness, will be sorely missed by the host of friends and relatives whom he leaves behind.
