Herman Heinrich Krause was born 7 Apr 1860 in Plathe, Pommern, Germany and immigrated to the U.S. aboard the S.S. Hohenstaufen in 1884. Herman had 7 known siblings: August Charles, Augusta, Bertha, John, Caroline & Gustav.
Herman married three times; first to Annie Brummund on 12 May 1888 in Mankato, MN. Annie & her parents, August & Louisa Brummund immigrated from Germany in 1884 aboard the Steamer Hermann.
Annie was 15 years old when they married and their son, Arthur was born 16 Apr 1889 in MN. They soon moved to the Hankinson area and Herman was naturalized 1 Nov 1892 in Richland County, ND.
He & Annie got along "pretty well" for the first few years according to Herman but after that "we had trouble".
Annie and Herman would divorce early in 1900 due, not only to Annie's abusive conduct, both verbal and physical, toward him, but mostly as a result of her affairs with "hired men" on the farm. When questioned as to his wife's conduct, Herman stated that having found Annie in the hired man's room in the middle of the night, her only excuse was that she was "looking for her clothes." Annie admitted to Herman that she was "criminally intimate" with the hired man, Paul Pautz in Nov 1892, and she ran away and stayed away from home three or four days with him; this relationship continued for 2 years.
After this, Herman and Annie's relationship improved a bit and he built her a home in Hankinson, ND to help make her life easier. This accommodation, however, didn't prove successful and the proverbial "final straw" was her scandalous affair with hired hand, Albert Bohrz. Herman filed for divorce in 1899 stating Annie "... is a woman of very violent and vile temper, easily angered, and very abusive..." having "...repeatedly struck and beat this plaintiff with her fists and with weapons..." "...and often called this plaintiff vile and obscene names in the presence of their child..." "...that she has repeatedly told this plaintiff that she did not love him and wished to be rid of him."
On 13 Nov 1899, Annie and Albert Bohrz were driven to the Fairmount train by Amanda Brummund. Annie deserted her son, Arthur, and left Herman a letter asking him not to try and find her as she was leaving the state and to "take care of the boy." This was such a scandal that Annie's sister, Albertina (Brummund) Krause (married to Herman's brother, John) gave a deposition as to her sister's conduct.
Herman was granted a divorce on 8 Mar 1900. Annie and Albert Bohrz married 23 Dec 1899 in Langlade Co., WI, making her a bigamist. Based on Federal Census records, it doesn't appear that Annie and Albert had children.
Annie's father, August Brummond, lived with her in Antigo, WI until his death 29 Jan 1908. Albert died in 1940 and Annie died 20 Dec 1946; both are buried in Antigo, WI. -- Excerpt taken from the book, "Hubrig and Krause - Our Family In Pictures"
