    Notes:

    Louis Bernreuter, son of Dr. Conrad Bernreuter (*) was born in St. Charles, MO on April 11th, 1863 where his parents had fled during the Civil War to escape harassment by local Southern Sympathizers. At the close of the war the family returned to Nashville, Illinois.
    Louis was the youngest of three sons and began his career as a school teacher in the Nashville High School. In 1892 he married Minna Krughoff, of Hoyleton Township, who was the daughter of Fred Krughoff and his wife Wilhelmina, nee Peithman.
    As a young teenager he drove for his father on medical calls, which at this time were made by horse and buggy, and often assisted him in amputations which in those days was about the limit of surgery. At this time he became interested in Art and went to classes via the L. & N. and Illinois Central trains to the Irvington Community where a colony of New Englanders had settled bringing some of their culture and talent with them.
    Louis was a avid reader and student and began his Law studies by reading in the Law Office of Charles T. Moore and by attending Apellate Court Sessions in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. He passed the Illinois State Bar examinations in 1894. He ran for County Judge on the Republican ticket and was elected in 1903, serving one and half terms before he ran for Circuit Judge of the 3rd Judicial District of Illinois in 1909. He held this office four successive terms, totaling 24 years. The 3rd Judicial District consisted of Seven Counties as follows: Madison, Bond, St. Clair, Washington, Perry, Monroe and Randolph (**). As a judge he was always tolerant and patient with young inexperienced lawyers in his court, who in later years referred to him affectionately as "Unle Louis". It should be mentioned also that he was a man of high integrity and fairness to the guilty as well as the non-guilty. After retirement in 1933, at age 70, he returned to a leisurely Law practice and died in 1943.
    Judge Bernreuter and his wife Minna were the parents of two children. Ruth born in 1896 and Edward Louis born in 1906. Ruth the writer of this sketch married James Albert Watts, Jr. of Nashville in 1922 in New York City. He was the son of J. A. Watts, Sr. an Attorney of Nashville. They were the parents of three children, David, James and Joan.
    David, who lives in Nashville, was born in 1923, and operates a Mimeographing Service.
    James, known as "Bud" was born in 1925, who is a farmer and Land Manager also lives in Nashville. He married Imogene Decker in 1948 after being discharged from the Submarine service after World War II. They have three sons, Bill, Tom, and Eric. Bill married Pamela Boone of Mt. Vernon, Il. in 1978 and they have one daughter, Beth Melinda, born in 1979, also two sons, Blaine and Mickey Middleton, sons of Pamela by a former marriage. Bill's field is in construction.
    Thomas, Bud's second son, married Katherine Alonzo of St. Louis, MO in 1973. Their First child Brian, was born in 1975 and died in infancy the same year. Two more sons, Christopher and Steven were born in 1976 and 1979 respectively. He is associated with his father in farming in Nashville.
    Eric, the third son, married Eve Linsner of Palatine, Illinois in 1979. He is employed by Stotlar Grain at the Chicago Board of Trade.
    Joan, the third child of Ruth and Albert was born in 1928 and married Wm. Huffman, Jr. of Carbondale in 1947 where they own and operate a Funeral Home. They are the parents of two daughters, Jane, born in 1948 and Elizabeth, born in 1950. Jane married Mark Koprucki of Chicago in 1976. He is a Financial Analyst in the First National Bank of Cincinnati. Elizabeth married Bakr Abolkhair in 1977. He is an Economist from Ryadh, Saudi Arabia. They have one son, Abdullah, born in 1979 in Berkeley, California where they live.
    All the last five generations in this history were born in Nashville, Illinois, except Jane and Elizabeth Huffman born in Carbondale, Illinois.

    Notes:

    FRIEDRICH KRUGHOFF

    COME, CHILDREN, LET US GO
    THE EVENING IS COMING SOON
    IT IS DANGEROUS TO REMAIN
    IN THIS WILDERNESS.
    COME-STRENGTHEN YOUR COURAGE
    TO TRAVEL TOWARD ETERNITY
    IT IS THE END THAT IS GOOD

    This was a favorite song. And, "Eben-ezer: Hither-to the Lord has helped us," was the life-long MOTTO of Mr. Friedrich Krughoff of North Prairie who, on January 1, 1910, at approximately 7:30 was called Home. On New Year's morning father Krughoff now entered a new Life as dawn came, as he closed his tired eyes to awaken to eternal Light, to everlasting Life. For him now was fulfilled his favorite song: "IT IS THE END THAT IS GOOD." Surrounded by his family whom he loved so dearly; and who were so devoted to the husband, father, grand-father, he, clear of mind, took leave and gently, peacefully slumbered to a better world; The Hereafter. With the turn of one year to that of another (New Year) came the end of his mortal life.

    Considering his age, Mr. Krughoff had engaged in and enjoyed unusual vigor; but during the last year some signs of infirmity began to show. Heart disease had developed and for the last four years (with the exception of last year) he had been very ill at Christmas time. In the last three months he was suffering more and more. On Thanksgiving Day he attended church for the last time. Last Thursday evening he complained of servere pain and the physician diagnosed this a severe inflammation of the lungs which his ailing body could not cope with. He understood how things were now, for he said on Friday evening: "This is the last night; now I am going home." He spoke loving words to his children; and, as his son Louis arrived from San Jose, he, being so ill and weak, nodded to his son to indicate to him that he recognized him. Soon thereafter he passed away.

    Friedrich W. Krughoff was born November 23, 1829, in Rothenuffeln, Preuss-Minden, Germany, and attained the age of 80 years, one month, and eight days. He was the second- oldest of a family of 12 children and came to this country in 1847, arriving in St. Louis on his 18th birthday. After a stay of one and three-fourth year he traveled to North Prairie which since that time has been his home. In 1849 his sister Christine, and in 1851 his brother Oberst L. Krughoff arrived. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Friedrich William Krughoff, as well as brothers and sisters, followed also to the new home the next year.

    On August 9, 1855, Mr. Krughoff was united in marriage to Miss Wilhelmine Peithmann who, for 54 years, lived with him in great happiness. The wedding took place in the home of the groom's parents, with the Rev. Maul of Plum Hill presiding. They were blessed with 10 children. During the 54 years there was never an instance of death in the entire family; it was the father who was the first who preceded all into eternity. His home-place, the Krughoff farm, became home of the married couple on January 11, 1857, and they lived there since (42 years) in the new dwelling over whose door-way was placed the following MOTTO: "EBEN-EZER." This house still stands on the farm land.

    Mr. Krughoff was a devout Christian whose religion was also reflected in his daily living. He was one of the founders of the local Evangelical congregation which was organized 55 years ago (Only Mr. Christ Wiese of Hoyleton is a surviving organizer of the church). As a young man he (Mr. Krughoff) was for a period of time a Sunday School teacher and was a Counselor in the North Prairie congregation which, at that time, was located on the Henry Hartmann farm. Later the Mother-church of Hoyleton Zion Congregation was organized in North Prairie, with a church located on the farm of Friedrich Wilhelm Krughoff, father of the now deceased. The latter was also a member. The two farms which have been referred to (the F. W. Krughoff farm and the Henry Hartmann farm) eventually became the Henry C. Kleeman farm. Mr. Krughoff was elder of the Evnagelical Zion Congregation of Hoyleton 24 years and, for 6 years was an honorary (senior) elder. He was distinctly honored and respected by fellow-citizens and was often appointed to deal with confidential matters.

    Honest and upright, friendly and obliging, Mr. Krughoff was well-known for his hospitality. He was a good citizen, trusted friend, and loving husband and father. Whoever knew him learned to treasure and love him.

    Mourning the loss of a beloved husband and father are, in addition to his widow, five sons and five daughters. They are: Maria, wife of H. E. Hoffmann; Elisabeth, wife of Charles L. Brink; Fred Krughoff of North-Prairie; Anna, wife of William Elmers of Moweaqua; Minnie, wife of Judge L. Bernreuter of Nashville; Louis Krughoff of San Jose; Lydia, wife of Frank Hake; Edward, Julius and Albert Krughoff of North Prairie. Also morning are 33 grand-children and 2 great-grand children; two sisters, the 82 year-old Mrs. Christine Nagel of North Prairie and Mrs. Louise Kleeman of Hoyleton. She is now gravely ill with bronchial inflammation. The mother of the deceased died in 1880 and the father died in 1887.

    The funeral service took place on Tuesday afternoon in the German Methodist Church in North Prairie. The Rev. Schroeder, Pastor of the Zion Evangelical
    Congregation in Hoyleton, had a comforting sermon based on I Corinthians 13, verse 13. Pastor F. Austermann had the English funeral sermon. Pastor A. Ludwig read a Bible passage; and Pastor H. Niederhoefer had the Prayer.

    Serving as coffin-bearers were: Hy. Hake, Hy. Hohmann, Gottlieb Struckmeyer, Christ Wiese, William Weigel and Fred Breuer.

    Close to his home where he had dwelt in happiness and with great blessings, he now sleeps toward THE MORNING OF RESURRECTION.

    ANOTHER TRANSLATION OF SAME MATERIAL:


    FRIEDRICH KRUGHOFF


    Come, children, let us go
    The evening is coming
    It is dangerous standing
    In this wilderness
    Come, strengthen your courage
    To go to eternity
    The end is good.

    This was his favorite song and "Evenezer: The Lord has helped us thus far" was the motto of life for Mr. Friedrich Krughoff of North Prairie, who departed on January 1, 1910, at 7:30. (1 Sam. 7:12 samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, meaning stone of help, saying "Thus far the Lord helped us." So the Philistines were subdued and did not invade Israelite territory again.) On New Years morning Father Krughoff went on to a new life; in his old age it became dawn and he closed his tired eyes to awaken in the realm of eternal light, that of eternal life. Through him his favorite song was fulfilled -- "The end is good." Surrounded by his relatives, whom he loved earnestly, by those to whom he was husband, father, and grandfather, he departed with full consciousness adn slumbered softly and peacefully in the better hereafter -- with the turn of the year came his life's end.
    For his age Mr. Krughoff had enjoyed unusual vigor, but in the last years he felt the frailty of age. Heart trouble had developed and for four years (with the exception of last year) he was deathly ill at Christmas time. In the last three months he suffered more and Thanksgiving Day was the last time he went to church. Last Thursday evening he complained about intense pain and the doctor confirmed dangerous pneumonia which the ailing body could not resist.
    He knew how it stood with him because Friday night he said: "This is the last night -- now I'm going home." He spoke loving words to his children, and as his son Louis from San Jose came in and he was too weak to speak, he showed by nodding his head that he recognized him. Soon after that he passed away.
    Friedrich W. Krughoff was born on November 23, 1829, in Rothenuffelm, Preuss Minden, Germany, and reached an age of 80 years, 1 month and 8 days. He was the second oldest of a family of 12 children and came to this country in 1847, settling in St. Louis on his eighteenth birthday. After a stay of 1 3/4 years, he moved to North Prairie, his home ever since. In 1849 his sister Christine followed him and in 1851 his brother Oberst L. Krughoff. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Friedrich Wilhelm Krughoff, and brothers and sisters came in the next year to the new home.
    On the 9th of August, 1855, Mr. Krughoff married Miss Wilhelmina Peithmann, whose happy marriage lasted 54 years. The wedding, performed by Pastor Maul from Plum Hll, was held in the home of the bridegroom's parents. The union was blessed with 10 children. During these 54 years there wasn't a single death in the family -- the father was the first to go on to eternity. The couple moved to the home place, the Krughoff Farm on Janfuary 11, 1857, and lived for 42 years in the new dwelling, over whose entrance his saying is mounted: Ebenezer. The old house is still standing on the farm.
    Mr. Krughoff was a devout Christian, whose religion proved itself in life. He was one of the founders of the local protestant parish, which was organized 55 years ago. (Now Mr. Christ Wiese from Hoyleton is the only living founder). As a young man he was a Sunday school teacher and admonisher in the North Prairie church which at the time stood on the Henry Hartmann Farm. Later the mother parish of the Hoyleton Zion parish was founded in North Prairie and a church was built on the farm of Friedrich Wilhelm Krughoff, father of the deceased, and teh latter was an active member. The two named farms now form the Henry C. Kleemann farm. For 24 years Mr. Krughoff was the director of the Zion protestant parish at Hoyleton and for 6 years has been the administrator. He was lso chosen by fellow citizens for various honorary offices.
    In socil life Mr. Krughoff was sincere and uprighteous, friendly and kind, and the hospitality of his home was well-known. He was a good citizen, a loyal friend and a loving husband and father. Whoever knew him learned to respect and love him.
    Besides the widow, five sons and five daughters mourn the loss of their dear husband and father: Maria, wife of H. E. Hoffmann; Elisabeth, wife of Chas. L. Brink; and Fred Krughoff of North Prairie; Anna, wife of Wm Elmers of Moweaqua; Minnie, wife of Judge L. Bernreuter of Nashville; Louis Krughoff of San Jose; Lydia, wife of Frank Hake; Edward, Julius, and Albert Krughoff of North Prairie, as well as 33 grandchildren adn 2 gret-grandchildren, two sisters -- teh 82-year-old Mrs. Christine Nagel from North Prairie and Mrs. Louise Kleemann of Hoyleton, who is sick with bronchitis. Teh mother of the deceased died in 1880 and the father in 1887.
    The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon in the German Methodist Church in North Prairie. Pastor M. Schroedel, minister of the protestant Zion parish in Hoyleton, gave a very comforting message from I Cor. 13:13. Pastor F. Austermann gave the English funeral sermon. Pastor A. Ludwig read a Bible passage and Pastor H. Niedernhofer gave the prayer. Serving as pallbearers were: Hy. Hake, Hy. Hohmann, Gottlieb Struckmeyer, Christ Wiese, Wm. Weigel and Fred Breuer.
    Near his ome where he lived happily and worked prosperously, he now slumbers until the morning of the resurrection.

    Possible connection to Krughoffs in Germany prior to Mary


    Dear Family Krughoff,
    With hearty greetings I am here with sending photos of old buildings in which your forefathers were born, and where your ancestors were living until they immigrated to the United States.
    The houses burnt down about 15 years ago and now nothing is left. Buldings near by have been rebuilt. Current owners are Rohlfing at Rothenuffeln #33.
    I got the pictures from them, the Rohlfings. In addition I have established a family tree that a Mr. Herman Stelze from Unterlubbe #40. On May 8, 1803 he married Marie Elizabeth Krughoff, Otis Krughoff's daughter. Herman Stelze died a few years after marriage. Already April 23, 1809, the widow Marie Elizabeth Stelze nee Krughoff. Mr. Johann Cordt (Kurt) Gerling from Hille. Accompany photo has the inscription which comes from the old house. It was built into the new home, which can be seen on the picture.
    Second husband, Gerling took on the name Stelze when married. In this marriage many cildren were born, who have married and at this time still live in same vicinity.
    In my conservation, to current owner (home place Stelze), Louise Karmeier nee Stelze is 77 years old. Through Louise Karmeier I got the pictures of the old house and tombstone. I made duplicates.
    Tombstone is a Elizabeth Stelze nee Krughoff born August 15, 1786 and died January 21, 1867. Louise Karmeier has a living married sister and married daughter.
    Finally I am enclosing photo of place Stelze and Louise Karmeier. I am a neighbor of home places Peithman #16 and Huck #1. And our home place was called Rodekopf #8. Further you can get bits and pieces from the Duekers. Many hearty greetings, also from my man.
    Lina
