Joe's dad grew up in Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska.
After the deaths of both his mother, and then later, his father, the five children
were divided up among relatives. Joe Sr. stayed with his step-mother, an English
teacher, from the age of five until adulthood.
She raised him in a tiny second floor apartment in one of these buildings.
Joe always likes to stop at the football field at the local high school where his dad attended.
The boys loved climbing all over the tank that is on display there to honor veterans.
Joe's dad is buried in this small country cemetery.
St. Mary's Cemetery is full of many generations of Krauses.
This is the original Christian Krause, who immigrated from Germany.
He died in 1898.
Here are a Joseph and Anna from days gone by.
The original spelling was KRAUS.
It was so cold and windy that day!
Oh my, we were FROZEN!!!!
