F. H. KRAESZIG.
    F. H. Kraeszig, a well-known architect of Pine Bluff, enjoying a liberal
patronage and holding at all times to the highest standards of his profession,
was born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1885, a son of Joseph and Mary (Klapheke)
Kraeszig. His education was acquired in the public schools of his native city,
and afterward he there studied architecture and construction, being associated
with a number of the leading architects of Louisville, so that through study and
experience he gained broad and valuable knowledge, constituting the foundation
upon which he has built his subsequent success. In 1910 he came to Pine Bluff,
opened an office and has since followed his profession here. His capability and
merit have gained for him a large clientele and he has erected many of the
substantial and attractive structures of the city. He designed and superintended
the building of the Ichnabel residence of Pine Bluff, the Altheimer high school,
the Wabbaseka high school, the Masonic Temple of Pine Bluff and the residence of
Dr. 0. W. Clark. He has also erected many other attractive residences and
business blocks of pleasing design, and these structures stand as monuments to
his skill and ability.

    Mr. Kraeszig was married to Miss Cecelia Schweri of Louisville, Kentucky, a
daughter of John Schweri. They have become parents of six children: Katherine,
Marie, Aline, Leona, John and Albert. The religious faith of the family is that
of the Presbyterian church, and they are interested in the various branches of
the church work and in all of those plans and organized projects which have for
their object the upbuilding of the city along material, intellectual, social and
moral lines.
