KROUT, Addie Burks - Fountain County INGenWeb Project

Mrs. Addie Krout, wife of M. L. Krout, died at her home near Wallace Monday morning, July 22, after an illness of but a few days. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Burks, and was born in Parke County, Ind., Oct. 11, 1878. After the death of the father and five children, the family moved to Fountain County, near Wallace, where they have lived to the present time.  On the 26th of March, 1899, she was married to M. L. Krout, to whom she proved a loving and faithful wife. But when every earthly prospect seemed brightest and when home most needed a mother’s care, she was suddenly called to her heavenly reward. “Her sun set while it was yet day,” but it has gone to brighten other climes and though her death was the cause of deep sorrow to many hearts, yet it is a sorrow brightened by hope. For her sun shall rise again; her mortality shall put on immortality, and her corruption incorruption.

The funeral services were held Wednesday, July 25, at 11 a.m. at the Lutheran Church of which she was a member and her body was laid to rest in the adjourning cemetery to await the final summons from on high.

The funeral was largely attended and the offerings of flowers by the alumni of Jackson Township, of which she was a member, were beautiful.  She leaves a husband, an infant son, a mother, a brother, a sister and a host of friends to mourn her loss. -s
