He was born on Aug. 20, 1916, in Donnellson, the son of Albert and Emma Banks Krebill. He married Ruth Pace on April 5, 1941, in Bells, Tenn. She survives.

Additional survivors include: two daughters, Lynn Pace of Black Mountain, N.C., and Mrs. David (Liz) Fox of South Beach, Ore; two sons, Dan Krebill, of Chapel Hill, N. C., and Mike Krebill of Ann Arbor, Mich.; four granddaughters, Mrs. Peter (Kristin) McCabe of Frederick, M.D., Laura and Emily Krebill of Chapel Hill, and Sara Fox of South Beach; four grandsons, Peter Krebill of Chicago, David Burton of Danbury, Conn., Nick Krebill of Chapel Hill and Ian Fox of South Beach; two great-grandchildren, Christopher and Katherine McCabe of Frederick; and nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by two brothers and a son, John Robert Krebill.

Mr. Krebill had been a Keokuk resident for the last 50 years. A civil, structural and architectural engineer, he graduated from the University of Iowa in 1938, and worked for a year with the Iowa State Highway Commission. In 1939 he moved to Tennessee to work for the Tennessee Valley Authority, and pursued graduate work toward a masters degree in structural engineering at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

While living in Tennessee he met his wife, Ruth.

In 1943 he accepted a position with an engineering firm in St. Louis and consequently spent time in Canada, engineering for airfields, roads, bridges, pipeline and pumping stations as part of the war effort. He volunteered for the United States Navy in 1944, and served two years as a ship navigation officer. He returned to Iowa as an engineer for Stanley Engineering Company in Muscatine.

In 1950 Mr. Krebill moved to Keokuk and established Krebill Engineering Company. The company served the Tri-State Area for 36 years with a wide range of consultant services: architectural, civil and structural engineering, and land surveying. Area projects include farm-to-market roads and bridges, Riverview Park in Fort Madison, the Keokuk Fire and Police Station, Calvert Stadium, Keokuk Urban Renewal and the Keossippi Plaza. Subdivisions include Timberlane Drive, Westwood Drive and Ridgewood Addition in Fort Madison; Wolcott's Bluff, Indian Hills, Windsor Heights, Hazelhurst, Hays, and Kitzmann subdivisions in Keokuk; Wind River, Hillcrest and Pierce subdivisions in Hamilton Ill.; and Ridgely Subdivision in Kahoka, Mo. The company also developed plans for many tri-state industries for new plant construction or for plant expansion and alteration.

Mr. Krebill contributed to the engineering profession by serving as president of the Keokuk Engineers Club, the Southeast Iowa Engineering Society and the Iowa Association of Consulting Engineers. With others he formed the ILLIAMO (Illinois-Iowa-Missouri) Consulting Associates.

He served the Keokuk community not only through the contributions of Krebill Engineering, but also through numerous civic and professional organizations. He was especially active in scouting, in his service on the Trinity United Methodist Church Board of Trustees, in the Keokuk Rotary Club and as a member of the Keokuk Chamber of Commerce.

An Eagle Scout as a boy and a scoutmaster as an adult, he served the southeast Iowa Council by providing engineering design services for Camp Eastman, by working on district and council committees and by helping scouts build bluebird houses. In recognition of his efforts, he received the top award that an adult volunteer can get - the Silver Beaver award.

Mr. Krebill was the Keokuk Rotary Club's longest serving member (joined in November 1953). He served on the board of directors, was a Paul Harris Fellow and contributed occasional articles to the Pinion, the club's newsletter.

In retirement, Mr. Krebill was especially fond of golfing at the Keokuk County Club with his buddies (or children and grandchildren when they were visiting) and never tired of trying for his second hole-in-one. He enjoyed fishing, gardening, building bluebird houses and squirrel twirls and having lunch on Thursdays with his friends at Rotary.

Memorial services are at 3 p.m. Sunday at Trinity United Methodist Church in Keokuk, with the Rev. Paul Pennington officiating.

Visitation with the family will follow in the church's fellowship hall.

His property consists of eighty acres of good farming land, and he occupies a comfortable farm dwelling, and has a good barn and all the necessary outhouses. He has been a resident of the Hawkeye State since 1857, and has established for himself a reputation as an honest man and a good citizen.

Mr. Krebill was born in Ashland County, Ohio, Feb 1, 1849. His father, Jacob Krebill, was a farmer, of German ancestry and parentage, and came to the United States with his parents when a lad of twelve years old. They located in Ashland County, Ohio, where their son, Jacob, after attaining to years of manhood, was married to Miss Eliza A. Strickland, a native of the Buckeye State. After the birth of four children, Jacob Krebill came with his family to Lee County, and located in Franklin Township, upon the site of their present home. The father afterward changed his location, going into another part of the township, and is still living, at the age of sixty-four years, with his wife, who is sixty years old.

ONE OF OUR FIRST CORRESPONDENTS PASSES AWAY

Donnellson, Iowa,
Nov. 19, 1928
Mennonite Weekly Review,
Newton, Kansas.

Dear Folks:

I am enclosing a clipping from our local paper giving an account of the death of Father.

I intended to notify you sooner but have neglected it until today. He has been your Correspondent from Donnellson, Iowa for a number of years. Will appreciate it if you will mention in your paper next issue any part or all of the Obituary.

Very truly yours,
A. D. Krebill.

(The Editor of the paper suggests that it would be fine for the above writer to consider that the mantle of his father has fallen
upon him and we expect to enroll him as one of our regular correspondents.)

F. H. Krebill
Frederick H. Krebill was born February 1, 1849, in Ashland county, Ohio, where he spent his childhood days. At the age of eight years he came with hi parents to Lee county, Iowa, where they settled on a farm 2 miles northwest of Donnellson.

At the age of 14, he was baptized and confirmed and taken in as a member of the Mennonite church, to which he remained faithful and active member until death.

He remained on the farm with his parents until he was 21. In the year 1871 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Rings, and established their home on a farm about mile west of Dover where they lived for a number of years. Their next home was on a farm west on Franklin where his brother Joseph now lives.

In the year 1882, after a lingering illness, his helpmate was called to her heavenly reward. Of their six children, three preceded their mother in death. Mr. Krebill, then was left with three small children, two sons and a daughter, to mourn the loss of a beloved wife and mother. Clara, the daughter, passed away in 1897 at the age of 16 years.

In 1883 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Rings, a cousin of his first wife. This union was blessed with seven children, one of whom died in infancy. Soon after their marriage they moved to the old home place northwest of Donnellson where they made their home until Mr. Krebill retired from active farm work. In 1916 they moved to Donnellson where he spent the remainder of his days, passing out of this life on Wednesday morning, October 31, 1928, at 9:30 o'clock, at the age of 78 years and 9 months.

Surviving Mr. Krebill are his faithful wife and children, Albert D., Edwin J., Mrs. Lottie Lowenberg, Otto C., Emma L., and Mrs. Lizzie M. Neff all of Donnellson; also Elmer of Rothiemay, Mont., and Wm. F. of Davenport. He is also survived by 27 grandchildren; one brother, Joseph, and two sisters, Mrs. Jacob A. Krehbiel of Donnellson and Mrs. Amanda Krehbiel of Cooperton, Okla. His parents, brother William, and two sisters, Mrs. Nancy Seyb and Mrs. Charlotte Webber preceded him in death.

Mr. Krebill was an active member in church and Sunday school, which latter he served as superintendent and teacher for many years. He also served for several years on the board of directors of Bluffton college. He was always ready and willing to help in all community affairs, serving as state representative from this district and always taking an active part in Red Cross work. Never did he fail to have a kind word for everyone with whom he came in contact. By nature he was self-sacrificing and always endeavoring to do something for someone else in his cheerfulness, helpfulness and goodwill.

His true religious life, and influence, will ever be stepping stones to a better and higher endeavor to live lives consistent to the memory of a devoted husband, a true-hearted father and grandfather; a real friend and a worthy neighbor of our community.

He spent and was spent

For truth and for right;

He gave up his best--

He fought the good fight.

Funeral services were held from the home and from the Zion Mennonite church Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. E. Kaufman. Pallbearers were: A. D. Krebill, E. J. Krebill, O. C. Krebill, Wm. Krebill, sons, and A. B. Lowenberg and B. J. Neff, sons-in-law of the deceased. Interment was in the Mennonite cemetery.

A Tribute to the Life Work of the Late F. H. Krebill

E. C. Lynn, Lee County Superintendent of Schools, and for many years a close friend of Mr. Krebill and co-worker with him in many community projects, very kindly wrote the following summarized account embracing many of the important things the late F. H. Krebill helped do for his community.

In the passing of Mr. F. H. Krebill, Donnellson and the surrounding neighborhood has lost a very valuable citizen. The span of his life covers so many years of usefulness, and the service he rendered was put forth with so little of the spirit of egotism that the community is apt to fail to grasp the real significance of his life of service. When we consider his long and useful life, the thoughtful person cannot help but ask, "Who can fill his place in the ranks of useful men in our community?"

Mr. Krebill was a good citizen. He was a good and progressive farmer. He was a good justice of the peace -- township trustee -- township clerk -- and town clerk. He served with credit in the 34th Iowa general assembly as a representative from this district, and he had much satisfaction in the results of the high school tuition law which he helped to frame and which opened the doors of the high schools in this state to many a farm boy and farm girl.

F. H. Krebill was the last of the original organizers of the Lee county fair. He served as director and treasurer for many years and as he grew older his interest did not waver. When the fair was recently reorganized, he was the first subscriber for stock and at the last annual program he took his usual pleasure in managing the exhibits in the art hall.

In 1906, when the Lee county farmers' institute was organized, Mr. Krebill was again in the front ranks. He helped make the organization, and for the 14 years of its existence, served as a
member of its executive committee.

When the World War came on, and Lee county was asked by the federal government to organize a farm bureau, Mr. Krebill's was one of the first three names on the required petition, and he has been a steadfast member of that organization up to the time of his death.

As to relief work and Red Cross work, we all know the part he has taken so well that it is not necessary to recount these activities.

Possibly no one came nearer summing up the life of Mr. Krebill than did Mr. J. J. Tigert, Commissioner of Education of the United States, who after having been entertained at the Krebill home, remarked, "I have been well fed and well entertained in a real America home. I have gained a new vision of retired farmers. I now know that a man can grow old and retire from active business without losing interest in his community with its young people, its schools and its churches."

confession of her faith she was baptized and received by Elder Christian Schowalter as a member of the Zions Mennonite congregation, whose faithful member she ever remained.
