John (Johann) was the son of Friedrich and Wilhemina Beuttenmueller Kraut. He immigrated to the US in October 1852. He was also a Civil War veteran.
"John Kraut was born in Wittenberg, Germany, September 27, 1834, died at his home near Gilead March 31, 1904, age 69 years, 6 months and 4 days.
When about 17 years of age, he left his native country for America and after looking around for a home he decided there was none better than Calhoun county and located here in 1866. Since then he has lived here the life of an honest, upright citizen, respected by all.
In 1861, when a call was made for volunteers to save the Union, none responded quicker or more willingly than he and four long years he served his country faithfully engaging in some of the fiercest battles.
He owned a nice little farm which by his careful supervision is a model fruit farm. There was probably no one in the county better posted about the care of orchards.
He was a patient sufferer from Asthma for several weeks and all that medical skill and gentle patient nursing could do was done, but death claimed him.
He was buried by the old soldiers, after appropriate services, in the Carrico graveyard Saturday evening in the presence of a large number of friends. He leaves a wife and six children, (four boys and two girls) to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. To these the HERALD extends its sympathy."
