Message from Quincy IL:
We are pleased to report a very enjoyable reunion September 4, 1983, at Center, MO. Our attendance was the lowest since we began the reunion and was due mostly to the absence of a large number of JACOB VALENTINE KRIGBAUM's descendants. For the first time we had more people from the other lines of the elder JACOB who came to Ralls County the mid part of the 1820s than from the JACOB VALENTINE line. YOU, JACOB Valentine'ites were greatly missed.
Those people attending really enjoyed the NEW AIR CONDITIONING and the absence of flies enjoying our food with us. Ask LEE KRIGBAUM about it.
The annual meeting was held after the noon meal and the following officers were elected to a two year office; Vice President: Mrs. HAZEL T. MILLER, Cleveland Heights, OH and Secretary: Mrs. DOROTHY STEELE, Palmyra, MO.
Awards were given as follows:
Eldest Male Descendant: WILLIAM P. WILSON, Scheresville, IN;
Eldest Female Descendant: Mrs. CLIFF (OLIVE KRIGBAUM) ISAACSON, Victoria, TX;
Youngest descendant: JUSTIN KILBY, 4 months old, son of MARK & CINDI KILBY,
Grandson of GLENN & JANE KRIGBAUM PARSONS;
Grandmother with most grandchildren: MABEL DIRKS KRIGBAUM, Monroe City, MO;
Traveled farthest distance to attend: Mrs. CLIFF ISAACSON, Victoria, TX
SATURDAY IN QUINCY:
For those wishing to look through books, family sheets, etc., was spent at GENE & CAROL's house in Quincy. The Isaacson's, The Wilson's, HAZEL MILLER, DOROTHY STEELE, KAY JAMES and I spent the day in genealogy talk, looking at pictures and hearing about some of the research done by those present. KAY and I feel it has been a good year for "The Kriegbaum Heritage," more family charts filled in...more enthused members...

We are very pleased with your response to our efforts. We hope you will continue to support us with your dues, family data and letters. THANK YOU.

THE KRIGBAUM LOVE-IN
Reunion 1983
by DOROTHY STEELE
Question: Can you tell me how you explain a "Love-In"
MY Opinion ..........
Have you ever been to a "love-In" where people come for miles,
To set and eat and congregate and love a little while.
Well, this is a KRIGBAUM Love-In, I know you know its true,
The love of generations have come through me and you.
Our ancestors came from Austria, then traveled over the Rhine,
To try and get to Bavaria and America to find.
They traveled by raft down Neckar River, a distance of 40 miles,
To get to a safe harbor, mile after treacherous mile.
They continued on to larger ships to reach Rotterdam,
Then English ships took them to America, to Freedom land.
Philadelphia was a strange place, they knew not what they would find,
But they had the faith and courage and strong determined minds.
They scattered to the four winds to find a special place,
But they all had the love of family, for "Love-Ins" face to face.
Thats why we have this Love-In in the U.S.A.,
The love of our family still burns in our hearts today.
The love for one another, a chance to talk and smile,
A chance to know each other and Love a little while.
To sing and have a "Love-In" is beautiful to see,
For this is a special Love-In made by you and me.
So come on all you KRIGBAUMS, "A Love-In" this will be,
For we are all one family for all the world to see.

GEORGE WASHINGTON CREEKBAUM born: June 11, 1808 - died: Oct 20, 1910
GEORGE WASHINGTON CREEKBAUM born at Levanna, Ohio, was the son of JOHN CREEKBAUM and REBECA CAHALL CREEKBAUM. GEORGE's father, JOHN lived to 102 yrs; and his mother, REBECCA , to 104 yrs. REBECCA's father was JAMES CAHALL who was born: Jan. 27, 1749 in Queen Anne Co., MD., and died at Ripley, OH. -- Feb. 5, 1851 at the age of 102 yrs. Mr. CAHALL's wife, ELLENDER, died at age 99 yrs. from being scalded. The CAHALL’s were from a family of weavers from Londonderry, Ireland. JAMES CAHALL served as an officer under Washington all through the Revolutionary War and witnessed the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. JAMES CAHALL is buried in the Pisgah Ridge Cemetery in Brown Co., Ohio, near the town of Ripley. There is a stone at his grave installed by the D. A. R. of that town. By mutual consent of both grandfathers who served under George Washington the new grandson was thus named GEORGE WASHINGTON CREEKBAUM, a name his descendants are proud to claim. Not much is known of GEORGE before 8 yrs. of age when his Grandfather PHILLIP took him back to Germany to visit relatives.

Along about this point there is a story I must relate. Taking the chance that some who read it will be most Prim and Proper and will say it's not in good taste, nevertheless, it must be told. It seems there was this Lady of nobility most recent of England; a recent widow by the name of Lady Thaddious. She had brought with her from England many nice dishes, candle holders, silverware, Irish Linens and the most beautiful Mahogany dining room table and chairs in all of Ohio. She had built an elegant two story stone home overlooking the Ohio River; the downstairs consisted of a large dining area, a smoking room, and a cozy Tea Room. She liked, upon occasion, as we say today, to put on the dog. Upon one occasion, she planned a rather large dinner party and invited Squire CREEKBAUM, his lovely wife, REBECCA, and, of course, be sure and bring little GEORGE, he is so charming and a little gentleman. At this time, little GEORGE was about ten years of age, and due to his father and mother's teaching, could read quite well. It seems on the proper night at the proper time Squire CREEKBAUM and his family arrived on time. Lady Thaddious greeted everyone at the door. Everyone would say thank you Lady Thaddious for inviting us, we are honored. Lady Thaddious would reply, "I am now an American, please call me by my full name, Fantasia Annett Rosmar Thaddious; for this I thank you:" As the CREEKBAUM's entered the large dining room set for 30 people, little GEORGE's eyes almost popped out. There were over 200 candles lit, sitting in corners on high stands, hanging from the ceiling, plus a very large candelabra in the corner of the very long table. All candle holders were in solid silver. When all were seated, REBECCA reached over and turned GEORGE's silverware setting face down; he wondered at that: Lady Fantasia Annett Rosmar Thaddious asked Squire CREEKBAUM to ask the blessing. While all heads were bowed, GEORGE, being curious, turned his silver place setting right side up. There, embossed in high, raised letters, were the initials of Fantasia Annett Rosemar Thaddious. Some historians credit this incident to a time in Lincoln's youth, it is not true; Lincoln never lived near the Ohio River. This story strictly belongs to GEORGE WASHINGTON CREEKBAUM.

In 1818, GEORGE and his father, JOHN CREEKBAUM who was a potter by trade, crossed the Ohio River and cleared the ground for the new town of Dover, Kentucky. On the day the lots were auctioned off, they made the soup that fed the crowd. Of course, there was also provided a pitch-in dinner. For his services JOHN CREEKBAUM was given Lot #1. In 1819, JOHN built a log cabin on said lot and moved his family to Dover, Kentucky. From 1819 to 1939, a span of 120 yrs., a CREEKBAUM lived on this lot or within one block of it. Namely, JOHN, then GEORGE, and finally GEORGE's son, THOMAS C. CREEKBAUM; these 120 years encompassed only three generations due to their longevity.
On Oct. 31, 1837, GEORGE CREEKBAUM married MALINDA (HARDY) WIGHT. It is said MALINDA was born on the Isle of WIGHT just off the coast of England. It is also claimed her true name was also WIGHT. She was what they called a bound out girl. The custom of bringing people over to America and paying their expenses, for which the bound out person owed a certain number of years of servitude. The family who raised her and cared for her in her youth was a pioneer family by the name of HARDY.
GEORGE CREEKBAUM and MALINDA (HARDY) WIGHT were blessed with nine beautiful children.
First was WILLIAM L. CREEKBAUM 1838;
JOHN JASPER CREEBAUM, my grandfather 1841;
ALBERT CREEKBAUM 1846;
MARY CREEKBAUM 1851, she never married;
THOMAS C. CREEKBAUM 1854;
DORA DELILA CREEKBAUM 1858; and
RALPH CREEKBAUM 1861.
There was one other child of which I have no record.
GEORGE CREEKBAUM was about 5' 11", evidently MALINDA's people were tall. GEORGE and MALINDA never had a son under 6' tall; THOMAS C. CREEKBAUM the tallest, stood 6' 6" in his stocking feet, a tall and proud man, not many called him to test.
In GEORGE's adult life he was a cooper, a maker of barrels. He also farmed, raising their own meat, corn, tobacco and various other crops. He also loved to play baseball and every Sunday after church you would find him on a baseball diamond somewhere. He loved to play third base. One time someone asked, "Can CREEKBAUM pitch?" The answer, "He can throw a porkchop past a hungry wolf." George studied the rules of baseball diligently and on one occasion took full advantage of his knowledge. GEORGE had been playing on some small minor teams till his ability at third base became quite well known. He was invited to join the Hillsiders, a team that had done quite well and were widely recognized. The first game after GEORGE joined them he played only a few innings; when the final inning came up, GEORGE happened to be on the bench. The Hillsiders against the Valley team, the Hillsiders were one run up, the Valley team were at bat with two outs. The Valley team batter hit a high foul ball, the Hillsider's catcher went after it with no chance at all of catching it. The foul ball came toward the bench where GEORGE was sitting. GEORGE jumped up and yelled at the Umpire, "CREEKBAUM catching for the Hillsiders," he caught the ball. The Hillsiders won. A riot broke out; the Umpire was in a state of shock. When the call "CREEKBAUM catching for the Hillsiders" was questioned, GEORGE pointed out the rules; anyone on the roster may substitute for any player at any time by notifying the Umpire. It would be many years before this rule was changed. When BOB and PAT HEFFLIN visited me recently, he told me another story about George. It seems one time GEORGE kept missing corn out of his crib and decided to try and catch the thief. He carefully set a large trap under the corn, next morning he had caught a colored man by the foot. GEORGE reprimanded him soundly, turned him loose, gave his a bushel of corn, and told him not to come back.
Within our family runs a certain amount of inventiveness. JOHN CREEKBAUM or his father-in-law, JAMES CAHALL, are credited with inventing the Hillside plow. This plows mold board could be reversed from one side to the other.

GEORGE WASHINGTON CREEKBAUM - Cont'd. Pg. 3
When plowing a hillside, dirt must always be thrown down hill. Previously, one would plow around a hill and drag the plow back to its point of beginning. With this new plow, when one got to the far side of the hill, the plowman would kick a latch, pull up on the handles and reverse the mold board. The plowman could then plow back, thus doubling the ground he could plow in one day. As the story goes, one of these inventors made one out of wood; took it to a blacksmith to have one made out of iron. The blacksmith thought it such a good idea he turned it over to the McCormick Deering people who made and sold a million of them. Our family received not one cent. My father told me this story when I was about 14 yrs. old, I cannot remember or identify the exact inventor.
GEORGE once attended a horse and mule auction at Tipley and bought a nice mare with weaning colt at side. A very fancy and beautiful colt. There was a young man in the crowd who was with his father who had come up second best in the bidding. The youth came up to GEORGE and asked if he would sell the colt alone? GEORGE said, "Maybe, what'll you give me for it?" The boy replied, "My father said to offer you $20 for it and if you won't take it to give you $25." GEORGE replied, "I certainly won't take $20. but I will take the $25." This young boy grew up and lead the northern armies in the Civil War and later became President of our United States (Ulysses S. Grant).
When the Civil War broke out, GEORGE and his brother, TOM, who lived at Ripely, helped escaping slaves to cross the Ohio River. The target was the underground railway starting at the Rankin House. GEORGE, being in his mid or late 50's, was too old to serve in the regular army; this was his way to serve the cause. He would keep his row boat in the river bushes on the Kentucky side. When runaway slaves showed up he would row them across the river. His brother, TOM, would then escort them to the Rankin House, their beginning to a life of freedom. Many of the black race today forget the efforts of some of the white race who made their freedom possible.
After the Civil War there became a great building boom of railways. In 1860 there were 30,626 miles of track in the entire new nation, by 1890 there were over 200,000 miles of tracks completed. GEORGE lived in the midst of these boom times. Many happy afternoons were spent around the pot bellied stove in the General Store swapping stories. It seems the Great Pacific and Western had a scheme to build more track than their next competitor; they set a barrel of whiskey one mile up the road bed. When the Gandy dancers laid track to the barrel they got to drink it. The railroad then placed another barrel one mile ahead, same results. Then came the express trains with speeds unheard of in those days. One of the favorite stories of the times is worth repeating. It seems a man on a caboose of a train in New Orleans leaned out to kiss his sweetheart good-bye; the conductor hollered, "All aboard.'" He kissed a cow in Kansas! We must remember over the years and century’s man has not changed much, only his environment. Life is much the same, enjoyment is the same, only the situations change.
GEORGE lived at Dover, Kentucky some sixty-three years. He then moved to Point Pleasant, Ohio, possibly to take care of his ailing parents till their deaths. In 1883 he moved to Mentor, Ky. MALINDA passed away only three years later. GEORGE lived at Mentor, KY till his death, being cared for by his daughter, MARY, who never married. There have been quite a lot of questions asked why MARY never married. All her life at any age everyone always commented what a beautiful and sweet person she was, she cared for her family. Some say

in her youth she had a sweetheart who came to an untimely end. She could not forget him, none other could take his place in her life. AUNT MARY loved my father and left her estate to him some $2,000 out of which he paid her final expenses. Dad and I placed a stone at her grave shortly after her death. GEORGE's home still stands and is used by a doctor as a summer home as of 1976. In GEORGE's hundredth year he raised three acres of corn, plowed and hoed it himself. He had most of his own teeth and could see quite well without glasses. At times, he would comment, "If I'd known I was going to live so long, I would have taken better care of myself."
On June 11, 1908, GEORGE's hundredth birthday, a surprise party was held at the Mentor town park. He was taken completely by surprise. All the stores and churches closed, over one hundred people came, some from far distances. Most came by horse and buggy. He was presented with a bouquet of one hundred daisies. After dinner, a baseball game was played. For two innings he played third base. The News Democrat paper of Cincinnati sent a reporter to interview him. The article is as follows: GEORGE WASHINGTON CREEKBAUM, born in this County, celebrated his 100th birthday at Mentor, a little hamlet on the C & 0 Railroad in Kentucky, June 11, 1908. He is a member of one of the oldest and most respected families in the southern part of Ohio. He has lived for years at Dover, Kentucky. "Yes, I have used stimulants," he stated, "and for years have chewed and smoked tobacco as long as I can remember." "I will walk two miles any day to see a good baseball game." I rise with the lark, take a good brisk walk before breakfast and retire early. I never worry about anything." At another time he made a most profound statement saying, "Besides Church, for your soul's sake, take time to stop and pet a puppy or cuddle a kitten, you will be surprised what it will do for your soul."
In GEORGE's 100th year some people interested in talking to a hundred year old man stopped at the Country Store and inquired where he lived. Driving down to where they had been directed, were not really sure which house. They saw a man hoeing corn beside the road and asked, "Which house does the hundred year old man live, and can he have visitors?" GEORGE, being the man, replied, "That house right over there," pointing, he added, "Sure I can have visitors, you go ahead and talk, I'll finish hoeing this row of corn! My great AUNT MARY, GEORGE's daughter, said in his 101st year sometimes his mind would wander. It was one of these times she and her father were sitting in front of the fireplace, she saw his senses were returning. She asked, "Daddy, what in the world is the matter with you?" GEORGE replied, "I don't know, unless I'm starved to death."
On Oct. 20, 1910 GEORGE passed away. His obituary read, "Oldest man in Kentucky passes away." His father died 91 years ago. This, according to our CECILE CONDIE, is wrong, which I believe is right; I have seen census with JOHN's name as late as 1860.
Imagine, if you will, the progress his eyes beheld from 1808 to 1910. He saw light advanced from the tallow candle to the electric arc. From stagecoach and flat bottom boats to the river steamers, express trains and the flying machine, and the autie mo beel. From mail taking months to cross the country to the telephone and telegraph, and the marvelous invention of the Phonograph. Forests changed into fields of waving grain. Flintlock guns into repeating rifles. Harvesting tools of sickles, cradles and scythes gave way to reapers, mowers and steam threshers. All these things and a thousand more he lived to see.
To say the least, GEORGE WASHINGTON CREEKBAUM was a very colorful and interesting man, a very kind man. He lived a very long and productive life. The world is a bit better because he lived. He has many descendants.
By his great-grandson, EMERY CREEKBAUM

KAY'S REPORT.......
Well, here we are again, time for another report. In the July issue 1983 I said that I would do a report on PETER KRIGBAUM of Allegany County, MD. Well, this report is going to be quite difficult for me to do. The reason being we have no real proof as to who the children of PETER KRIGBAUM were. So please remember that this report on PETER cannot be proven as yet, but this is how I have put it together according to the information that I have in my possession. If you have and information on this line, please let me hear from you. Also while reading this report please refer back to the July 1982 issue, page 9. I also want to thank GARY COATES of Portland, OR for all of his help. He went to Salt Lake City, UT this summer sent me a lot of information pertaining to this line. Also thanks to MARY and WILLIAM WILSON of Scheresville, IN, who made a trip to Corriganville, MD, which used to be referred to as KREIGBAUM MD. There is an article on some of the history of Corriganville in this issue.
PETER KRIGBAUM was born 21 March 1772 in Frederick County, MD. His birth date was found recorded in the Evangelical Church of Frederick County, MD. He married in Allegany County, MD -- 25 November 1797 to MARY McBRIDE.
Now I am going to trace PETER KRIGBAUM and MARY through the census records.

NOTE: Could one of the males over 45 be CONRAD KRIGBAUM the father of PETER? Maybe the others are from the McBRIDE family. Notice there are 2 females 26 - 45. One is probably MARY McBRIDE wife of PETER KRIGBAUM, who is the other one?

Who is the PETER KRIGBAUM age 25?
Is he a grandson of PETER KRIGBAUM and MARY McBRIDE or a son?
I believe a grandson. We will discuss this later in the report.
Now I want to make a correction on the death date of PETER KRIGBAUM. In the July issue we reported that PETER KRIGBAUM died: 15 May 1857 - age 86. This was recorded in a book, which I can't tell you the name of now, but according to two different sources this was incorrect.
According to GARY COATES of Portland, OR, it was MARIA KRIGBAUM, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. McBRIGHT, born in St. Mary's County, MD near Washington County, MD. She died: 15 May 1857 at the age of 85 years, 3 months and she died in the home of her son FELIX KRIGBAUM. This material was provided to GARY COATES by Mrs. Patricia Gbbin secretary for the S S Peter and Paul Church, Cumberland, MD after he sent two letters and sent a contribution to the church. But according to MARY and BUD WILSON who went to the church this summer, it also was MARIA KRIGBAUM in the home of son PETER KRIGBAUM. Could it be the same person PETER FELIX KRIGBAUM? What do you think? By the way, the church listed above is Catholic.
Some of the material that GARY COATES sent me seems to indicate that PETER KRIGBAUM was quite highly thought of including that in 1836 he was appointed by the Governor and Counsel as a magistrate. GARY found many other entries where PETER KRIGBAUM was named in wills both owing and receiving. Also as an appraiser for estates. Names connected with his included JOHN BOOSE, WENGERT, ANA McKELFISH, JAMES MONEY, CHRISTIAN SPEELMAN and JACOB SAYLER.

KAY'S REPORT con't.......
Remember a sister of PETER KRIGBAUM, MARY ELIZABETH KRIGBAUM married DAVID LORENTZ SPEELMAN. Is CHRISTIAN SPEELMAN a son of these two? We will get into the SPEELMAN family at another date. We have received material showing that a lot of the SPEELMAN family moved on with PETER's brother PHILIP of Green County, PA. This is the family that later moved on to Oregon.
We desperately need a will for PETER KRIGBAUM or church records to prove who his children are. The WILSON's searched the Allegany County, MD and Muskigum County, OH records and found no will. Also there is no mention of PETER KRIGBAUM in the St. Peter and Paul Church records, just his wife MARY KRIGBAUM. Where is PETER KRIGBAUM buried? When did he die? It seems to me as though he died before MARY, because the church records listed MARY living with her son. If PETER KRIGBAUM was living, she would have probably been living with her husband. So now here we are, PETER KRIGBAUM dies somewhere between 1850 and1857. I just can't believe that this man does not have a will or some church should have the birth dates for his children. HELP! The WILSON's have suggested looking into the Methodist Church records because some records indicate that PETER KRIGBAUM had something to do with the Methodist Church. GARY COATS has suggested searching more in West Virginia. I agree with both suggestions.
Now, the children of MARY McBRIDE and PETER KRIGBAUM of Allegany County, MD. This is just speculation and how I have put them together according to the information I have.
There is a HENRY KRIGHBAUM also listed in the 1840 Allegany County Census along with PETER CREAKBAUM.

As you can see, these two different census records look like the same family. HENRY KRIGBAUM was born about 1805 according to the census records. HENRY KRIGBAUM left a will in Muskingum County, OH dated -- 14 April 1885. This went to probate -- 12 June 1885. In the will he names his children.
GARY COATS found a will of HENRY KRIGBAUM in the Mineral County, West Virginia Wills and Inventories # 144 dated -- 31 March 1890. In both of these wills he says of one of his children: ITEM Eleventh....I have omitted to name my son JOHN P. KRIGBAUM as a beneficiary under this will on purpose and for reasons satisfactory to myself. Could this be the PETER living with his grandfather in the 1850 Allegany County, MD Census. It seems as though HENRY KRIGBAUM and JOHN PETER KRIGBAUM had a little difference of opinion. But why one will in Mineral County, W.VA. and one in Muskingum County, 0H? Why West Virginia at all? Mineral County, W.VA. is just across the state line from Allegany County, MD. I believe this HENRY KRIGBAUM to be a son of old PETER KRIGBAUM and MARY McBRIDE. By the way in the church where MARIA McBRIDE KRIGBAUM's death record is listed is the same church that lists the births of HENRY and FRANCES KRIGBAUM's children which are the same ones listed in HENRY's will. HENRY had a large family, most of which stayed in Muskigum County, OH. I have a lot of information on this family sent me by some of our members including Mrs. ROBERT AINLEY of Long Beach, CA. I can't go into this information at this time because of lack of space. I will do a full report on the descendants of HENRY KRIGAUM at a later date. One of the questions I do need answered....Where is HENRY KRIGBAUM buried and an exact date of death. HELP!

KAY'S REPORT con't
(Who is this JOHN P. KRIGBAUM? Is he the son of old PETER KRIGBAUM of Allegany County, MD, or HENRY KRIGBAUM of Muskingum County, 0H? If the age is correct in the 1880 census, this would make JOHN P. KRIGBAUM born in 1815 in MD. HENRY KRIGBAUM was born 1805. There is only 10 years difference in age. Who is ELIZABETH KRIGBAUM aged 73 and listed as an aunt?
I think that the census is incorrect and should list JOHN P. KRIGBAUM as 55 instead of 65. The PETER KRIGBAUM age 25 listed in the 1850 Allegany County, MD looks like a grandson to old PETER KRIGBAUM. Add another 30 years and PETER KRIGBAUM would be 55. What do you think?
Could the ELIZABETH be the wife of PETER KRIGBAUM or FELIX KRIGBAUM that MARIA (Mary) McBRIDE KRIGBAUM was living with at her death? PETER KRIGBAUM and MARY McBRIDE had a son listed on the 1830 Allegany County, MD, listed between the ages of 10 - 15. Where is this son? Is it possible that MARIA McBRIDE KRIGBAUM was living with her grandson? We definitely need much more research done in Mineral County, West VA. I really do need a lot of help here. I need to check the 1850, 1860, 1870 census records of Mineral County. W. VA. Could anyone out there do this for me? Please let me hear from you. Who is the father of JOHN P. KRIGBAUM, of Mineral County, West VA.?

I found JOHN P. KRIGBAUM in the 1870 census which I included in this newsletter but I have not found him in the 1860 census. I also found an excerpt of an obituary who I believe to be JOHN PETER KRIGBAUM b. ca 1814/1815. I believe JOHN P. KRIGBAUM is the son of JOHANN PETER KRIGBAUM and Mary McBRIDE. According to the obituary, JOHN PETER KRIGBAUM married MARY WRIGHT daughter of James Wright.
ELIZABETH KRIGBAUM from the 1850 living with Peter Krigbaum & Mary McBride, and in the 1870 & 1880 census living with John P. KRIGBAUM, I believe to be the daughter of Peter Krigbaum & Mary McBride and sister of John Peter Krigbaum. Her age in the 1850, 1870 & 1880 census is not consistent.
ELIZABETH KRIGBAUM’s age in the census:
1850: age: 27, b. ca 1823, living with her parents, Peter Krigbaum & Mary McBride
1860: ? – I haven’t found Elizabeth or John P. Krigbaum in the 1860 census.
1870: age: 50, b. ca 1820, living with her brother John P. Krigbaum
1880: age: 73, b. ca 1807, living with her brother John P. Krigbaum
I found the following obituary excerpt of J. PETER KREIGBAUM on rootsweb:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~mdallegh/c-times/1896.htm
Excerpts from The Cumberland Times transcribed by Charles Often, 1896.
KREIGBAUM, 13 Jul 1896. J. PETER KREIGBAUM died Saturday (11 Jul) at his late residence on Mechanic Street in his 83rd year. He had been in feeble health for the last 3 months. He was born near Frostburg and when young, moved to Corrigansville, which was once known for many years as Kreigbaum. His wife, a daughter of the late JAMES WRIGHT, a renown jeweler, survives and three grown daughters: Mrs. LIGORA SHAFFER of Wiley Ford WV; Mrs. WILLIAM ARNOLD and Miss ROSA KREIGBAUM at home. The funeral is from St Patricks.
1896 – 83 = b. ca 1813

I also want to mention that another one of our members Mrs. STAN (JoAnn) LITTLE of Webster Groves, MO descends through the line of HENRY KRIGBAUM. STAN and JoANN have also done research in Ohio and Maryland a few years ago for us. JoANN is having surgery this month and we wish her a full and fast recovery.
Now we will go to another man whom I believe to be a son of PETER KRIGBAUM and MARY McBRIDE KRIGBAUM of Allegany County, MD. This one is WILLIAM KRIGBAUM. He was born about 1801-1802 in MD. On 12 November 1827, there was a land transaction in Allegany County, MD, WILLIAM and BARBARY
KRIGBAUM (seller) and CONRAD KRIGBAUM (buyer). Then we find WILLIAM KRIGBAUM in Ohio.

The following taken from the History of Muskingum County, OH, published 1882. WILLIAM KRIGBAUM listed as treasurer of St. Anna's (Catholic) Church in the year of 1836.
NOTE: By the way Morgan County, OH is right next to Muskingum County, OH.
As you can see, I believe this WILLIAM KRIGBAUM to be the son of PETER KRIGBAUM of Allegany County, MD, also. (GARY COATS descends through this branch.)
One of old PETER KRIGBAUM's sisters, CATHERINE KRIGBAUM who married GEORGE DUTRO moved from Allegany County, MD, to Duncan Falls Twp., Muskingum County, OH. GEORGE DUTRO left a will dated 15 July 1827. This taken from his will:
To James Seright and Ruth Seright, his wife I give and bequeath a half Quarter section of land laying on what is called Duncan Run and being half of the said quarter that I purchased of PETER CRIGBAUM.....
Is this old PETER KRIGBAUM of Allegany County, MD? I believe that it is.
Also I want again to say this .... CONRAD KRICHBAUM Jr. purchased land in 1816 in Muskingum Co., OH. He gave as his residence Allegany County, MD.
Now on to another one named CONRAD KRIGBAUM. This is where ISABELLE MALONE, MARGARET McGINNIS and TOM McGINNIS descend.
This CONRAD KRIGBAUM was born about 1800 in MD.

As you can tell, I believe CONRAD KRIGBAUM to also be a son of old PETER KRIGBAUM of Allegany County, MD. I have much more material and pictures on the descendants of CONRAD KRIGBAUM and PRISCILLA BLAIR but will have to print them later due to lack of space.
Now for the female children of PETER KRIGBAUM. According to the census records of PETER KRIGBAUM there should be four [4] females. I believe that two of them are SUSAN KRIGBAUM who married VALENTINE ROUCK (not sure of spelling) and ANN KRIGBAUM who married JOHN BISAL. Any help here greatly appreciated...
Now this PETER KRIGBAUM, that I have been writing this report on, is a brother to JACOB KRIGBAUM who went to Ralls County, MO, and MICHAEL CREEKPAUM who went to Kentucky, then Indiana, & PHILIP CREIGHBAUM who went to Green County, PA and his descendants went on to Oregon. I have not printed a family group sheet for PETER KRIGBAUM as I am unable to prove all of the above. PETER, JACOB, MICHAEL and PHILIP are all sons of the immigrant CONRAD KRICHBAUM & ANNA MARIA.
NOW, I would like to take a little bit of time to talk to the descendants of the immigrant JOHANNES WILHELM KRIEGBAUM and his wife ANNA BARBARA RETTICH / RETTIG.
*** THIS IS IMPORTANT ***
The children of this immigrant are:
(1) JOHN ADAM who married Margaret Barbara GERMAN;
(2) JOHN PETER who married Anna Maria HOFFMAN;
(3) JOHN WILHELM who married Catherina GARMAN;
(4) ANN ELIZABETH married ?;
(5) EVE married Johannes Adam EMERICH;
(6) CATHERINE;
(7) JOHNNES (John) married Maria Elizabeth EMMETT
(8) GEORGE who married Rosina BERGER;
(9) BARBARA and
(10) GERTRUDE.
Please refer back to the October 1981 issue page 9.
*** We, "The Kriegbaum Heritage" have proven that JOHANNES WILHELM KRIEGBAUM b. 1754 who married CATHARINE GARMAN, is the son of JOHANNES WILHELM and not his brother JOHANNES ADAM. ***
*** The KRICHBAUM FAMILY HISTORY compiled in 1918 by Judge Charles KRICHBAUM and Raymond L. KRICHBAUM states the children of JOHANNES WILHELM correctly but gives the children of JOHANNES ADAM incorrectly. ***
But I want to tell you that I read THE KRICHBAUM FAMILY HISTORY of 1918 like it was my bible. Without this great genealogical work up we of the Kriegbaum Heritage would not be near this far along. It states on page 7, "In preparing this history every available record has been searched and the various traditional stories have been carefully considered. We believe this to be correct but there are always mistakes."
When I first received a copy of the History of 1918 I was just bubbling over. The first place I started was putting all of my family group sheets together according to the history, but the sheets did not fit according to the history, and I nearly lost my mind. I contacted our Vice President HAZEL MILLER and told her my findings. She, too, started searching the records of getting the immigrants with the correct children and we are still working on just that.
I intend to do another report on the descendants of this great immigrant JOHANNES WILHELM KRIEGBAUM in the January issue. If you have anything to help me with this report, please let me hear from you.

KAY'S REPORT cont.
Well, I have finally come to the end of this report. It was a very hard report for me to write because of lack of proof. I do believe that we are very close to getting this proof.
Along with my report on JOHANNES WILHELM KRIEGBAUM (the immigrant) I will do a report on JOHN KRIGBAUM of RaIls County, MO, which is the ancestor of mine and OLIVE KRIGBAUM ISAACSON, Victoria, TX and ALLENE ADAMS of Perry, MO.

LANDMARK PASSES - Having survived its usefulness with the discontinuance of passenger service on the Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroad last September, the old C. & P. KREIGBAUM station at Corriganville, built about 1874, now is being dismantled. KREIGBAUM was the terminus of passenger service on a branch line of the Pennsylvania railroad by way of Huntingdon before completion of the short line between State Line and Cumberland. During the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876 KREIGBAUM station was the transfer point for mapy passengers enroute to the world's fair.
HISTORIC KREIGBAUM RAILROAD STATION IS BEING DISMANTLED
Old Transfer Point at Corriganville Was Erected in 1874
Erected sixty-nine years ago, the Old C & P KREIGBAUM station at Corriganville is being dismantled, having survived its usefulness with the discontinuance of passenger service on the Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroad in 1942. This old station building was the scene of much activity when KREIGBAUM was the terminus of passenger service on a branch line of the Pennsylvania railroad by way of Huntingdon before the completion of the short line between State Line and Cumberland. During the Philadelphia centennial in 1876 KREIGBAUM station was the transfer point for many passengers enroute to the world's fair.
One of the first telephones in its neighborhood was temporarily installed in this station more as a curiosity than anything else shortly after the Philadelphia exhibition where the Bell telephone first was introduced.
The stain remained as an important C. & P local telegraph and ticket office and an outlet for passenger traffic to Cumberland up until the advent of the bus and automobile.
KREIGBAUM Station was built about 1874.
The above news item was copied and given to BUD and MARY WILSON when they were in Cumberland, MD, this summer. Taken from Maryland Cumberland News, Monday, March 1, 1943.
The picture to the left is a photocopy of a photo taken by the WILSON's. We hope it will reproduce so you can see how the house looks now after being resided and added to.
The WILSON's were told by an old citizen that the name KRIEGBAUM is carved into the logs now covered with siding.
