Anton's(at times Anglicized to Antony or Anthony)surname is KRUKENKAMP. He was buried in the Krukenkamp family plot at Calvary. In the 1900 census, Anton states he immigrated to America in 1860. He enlisted 11 August 1862 in the First Regiment Artillery Volunteers, Company L at St. Louis,
Missouri. He mustered out on 20 July 1865 at Benton Barracks, Missouri.

He also says in the 1900 census that he is a naturalized citizen and that he married in 1865. Anton Krukenkamp married Elisebeth (German spelling for Elizabeth) (Eckert) Coffey, widow of John Coffey, in 1865.

Elisebeth says in the same census that she has given birth to 9 children and 5 are living. The ones I know were living in 1900 in birth order are: William Peter Coffey born 1858, Bernhard Krukenkamp born 1869, Kate (Krukenkamp) Sieloff, Elizabeth and Anna Krukenkamp, one of whom was married to a Chouteau of the old St. Louis family.

Gone are John Lawrence Coffey born 1860, Mary Coffey born 1862, Emma Krukenkamp born 1867. We have yet to discover the ninth child.

Anton was a teacher after the Civil War. By 1870, the family was living in Germantown, Clinton County, Illinois.
Elisebeth's father, George Eckert, owned the City Hotel in Belleville, Illinois, so they may have lived there from time to time. By 1880 census they were living in Femme Osage in St. Charles County, Missouri. They then lived in St. Louis. Late in life Anton had a condition which precluded his living with the family so he became an inmate at the Federal Soldiers Home in St. James, Missouri, where he died. I found his wife, Elisebeth, living in St. James and St. Louis while he was in St. James. Elisebeth died in St. Louis City in June of 1920. She appears in the 1920 census for St. Louis City which was taken in January of that year. She and her Krukenkamp daughters are buried with Anton in the Krukenkamp family plot at Calvary.
