      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
