 KRAKE, Delos W., of Town Hartland and one of the oldest pioneers of 

Shawano County has passed away last Monday at the age of 86 

years. He was born on 28 December 1828 in Montgomery County, N.Y.

into a family of fourteen children, of which only three are still 

living. His parents were Jacob and Eve Krache.

Volunteer Regiment and took part in many battles. In 1864 he married
