(Submitted by Kate Watson) Name of Deceased: Henry Krill County Name: Williams State: OH Newspaper: The Edgerton Earth Obit: Thursday, December 22, 1938 ESTEEMED CITIZEN CALLED BY DEATH Henry Krill, Widely Known Merchant, Closes His Earthly Career At about 2:30 o'clock this (Thursday) morning the earthly career of Henry Krill came to a close. While his death was not unexpected, yet it was received with a great shock as the word was passed along. Mr. Krill was one of the early pioneer business men of Edgerton, coming here in about 1874. Serving an apprenticeship with J.H. Miller in the undertaking and furniture business, he became a partner and later bought Mr. Miller's interest in the business. All caskets were custom made in those days. Last April marked his 63rd year of entrance in business in Edgerton. In later years his sons Edwin and Oscar became affiliated with him in the work. Oscar has charge of the Krill & Son mortuary at Bryan and Edwin in Edgerton. Mr. Krill had been confined to his bed for several weeks. Although he was barely able to do so, he got up from his sick bed on Thanksgiving and ate dinner with his children and their families. He remarked at the time that it would be the last observance of the day for him. Deceased always took an interest in civic affairs, serving as councilman, mayor and on board of education at various times. For many years he had been a loyal member of the Methodist Episcopal church, punctual in attendance, liberal in his giving, and faithful in his service. He was a member of the order of Knights of Pythias and Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He was a man of untiring energy and ambition, strictly honest and ever ready to extend generous aid to friends. Mr. Krill had been in declining health for several years, but was active as a business man until failing powers could no longer serve him. Had he lived until April he would have reached his 80th milestone. Surviving is the widow, three sons, Oscar, of Bryan, Edwin and Paul, of Edgerton, and a daughter, Mrs. W.S. Unger of Melbern. Funeral services will be held from the M.E. church Friday at 3 pm, Rev. Horst officiating. The body will lie in state at the church from 1:30 until 3 pm. (submitted by Kate Watson)
