Ernest Krause Obituary
Ernest Krause, 98, beloved brother and uncle, fell asleep in death Jan. 15, 2016. He was born in New Leipzig to Charles and Louise Krause.
Ernest attended school in New Leipzig and later he and his brother, Leon, went to California for industrial-mechanic school. He served in the military nearly four years at Fort Sill, Okla., and in Europe. Back home in North Dakota, he drove a school bus and helped with construction of the Heart Butte Dam.
For 60 years, he was a caring and capable farmer, assisting his brother and nephews at the New Leipzig and Flasher farms. He was an avid reader and applied his knowledge to equipment operation and repair.
He had a cheerful, colorful personality and was always ready to lend a helping hand or entertain the kids with his stories.
He moved to Mandan in 2012.
He is survived by his brother, Leon (Helen); his sisters, Evelyn and Ruth; and many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews.
He will be buried at the Lark Cemetery.
