JULIUS KRAUSE OF SYMCO WAS ALWAYS A MAN, SAYS FRIEND
Julius Krause, one of the chief business men of Symco, Union Township, for the past 25 years, died at the hospital in Kenosha last Monday evening at 6:15 following an illness of about four weeks from cancer of the liver.
Deceased was born in Pozen, Germany, May 11, 1866. In 1881 he came to America with his mother and step-father, locating in the Township of Union on a farm. He was but 15 years old when he came to American and with the exception of four weeks schooling in the Town of Union, his education was acquired in his native land. He learned farm work in Germany and for ten years he worked in sawmills and on the railroad here in Wisconsin. In 1892 he establsihed [sp] himself in the hotel and saloon business in Symco. He bought the old hotel building which he later remodelen [sp] and he also erected a saloon and the Symco Pavilion which he owned for 35 years. He was very successful in hsi [sp] efforts at Symco and has helped to promote many other business and community activities.
(The following is from Manawa Advocate of Jan. 29)
The man who made Symco the best known inland town in Wisconsin is dead. Residents of that village maintain that if Symco was on a railroad it would be bigger than any town in the county except the three cities. Perhaps there is truth in that statemen [sp] but much credi [sp] for the prosperity and publicity he [sp] town now has should belong to Julius Krause. Where a horse and top buggy took the place of Fords and Studebakers and Buicks, Jul brought crowds to Symco to attend dances and celebrations. Old West Side Park was the location of the only dance pavilion in the county at that time and it was really an innovation, and a successful one, for this part of the state. Later the bowery was moved nearer the village and the crowds still came but they were different. Dobbin lost his popularity and was succeeded by contraptions of metal that housed a gasoline engine and had to be persuaded to start with a crank at the side on in front. These, too, gave way to bigger and better automobiles but the crowds contined to come. Jul was liked. He was quiet and preferred much more to hear things than to tell them, but he could talk with rare ability when occasion demanded. He had ideas on religion, on politics, on affairs of state, and his opinions showed thought and reading that was surprising. Jul didn't believe in the prohibition amendment and he made no excuses for his stand, but so long as he conducted his place of business at Symco there was never a drink sold that was in violation of the Volstead act or that would cause an official to break his oath of office by having a convenient knack of forgetting or becoming suddenly blind. "The chisel that carves an epitaph should be held bya [sp] friendly hand, and the finest of fine things it can say is simply, "He was a man."
