Death of E. M. Krum - The people of this village were greatly shocked on Monday evening when the news
went forth that Mr. E. M. Krum had dropped dead in the postoffice. He left his house at half past eight in
the evening to go for his mail. He seemed as well as usual, and was conversing with others.
In the office while the mail was being looked over and without warning he dropped to the floor and was
immediately raised up and placed in a large rocking chair but he was dead. Heart disease was the cause.
Since last winter he has been quite feeble, although around to see to business. He has been
an active, hard-working man, always a good neighbor. He was the inventor of the Victor Mowing Machine
and manufactured the machines in this village for five years. From here it was taken to Niverville and he
was continued as its manager for a couple of years. His career of more than 60 years marks the
ample development of his Christian character. His work is done, and his life without a blemish is
finished. What richer legacy can be left to bereaved affection and faithful memory. He was a man whom
it was natural to love; every impulse of his heart was an impulse of kindly interest in the welfare and
happiness of all. Although the voice is silent and his kind hand will never be stretched forth to greet us,
yet
His memory long will live
In all our hearts, as mournful light
That broods above the fallen sun
And dwells in Heaven all the night

Death of E. M. Krum - The people of this village were greatly shocked on Monday evening when the news
went forth that Mr. E. M. Krum had dropped dead in the postoffice. He left his house at half past eight in
the evening to go for his mail. He seemed as well as usual, and was conversing with others.
In the office while the mail was being looked over and without warning he dropped to the floor and was
immediately raised up and placed in a large rocking chair but he was dead. Heart disease was the cause.
Since last winter he has been quite feeble, although around to see to business. He has been
an active, hard-working man, always a good neighbor. He was the inventor of the Victor Mowing Machine
and manufactured the machines in this village for five years. From here it was taken to Niverville and he
was continued as its manager for a couple of years. His career of more than 60 years marks the
ample development of his Christian character. His work is done, and his life without a blemish is
finished. What richer legacy can be left to bereaved affection and faithful memory. He was a man whom
it was natural to love; every impulse of his heart was an impulse of kindly interest in the welfare and
happiness of all. Although the voice is silent and his kind hand will never be stretched forth to greet us,
yet
His memory long will live
In all our hearts, as mournful light
That broods above the fallen sun
And dwells in Heaven all the night

from New England families.Our subject began his education in the district schools, advancing in tun to
the Worcester Union school, the Delaware Literary Institute, and finally the Cortland State Normal
school. His experience as a teacher dates from 1874, when he secured the school in district No. 5 of the

schooling. He taught others, in order that he might educate himself.For two years he was principal of the
Maryland graded school, which position he relinquished in 1885 to assume the duties of principal of the

The house was filled to overflowing with relatives, friends, members of the Masonic order and
faculty and members of the Worcester High school. The services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Cubberly

granted him the degree of Ph. B. He was united in marriage with Katherine Foland. He began school
teaching in the district schools and rose gradually to higher ones. His first principalship was at
Maryland. Afterward he taught several years in the grades of the Worcester Union school and in 1893
was promoted to the head of the school, which position he retained until 1907. Since then he has served
in a like capacity at Cherry Valley, Ravena and New Baltimore. Everywhere he was highly respected by
members of his faculties and schools and his work was of the highest character.
His last sickness was the first to detain him from the school room for any length of time and this illness
