    At the time of their Golden Wedding in 1878, the Krughoff's sent $1000 to the Barmer Mission in Germany. The mother is quoted as saying, "We were married in Bergkirche by pastor Linkmeyer and that evening we walked to Schnathorst to Pastor Volkening's Mission Study Hour. On the way home, we made the vow that if the Good Lord would grant them fifty years of wedded life they would send $1000 to the Barmer Mission." She gave Pastor Rague the money to send to Germany. A Pastor from Germany sent a letter from there to thank her.Florence Krughoff

    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
