Rings, Elisabeth

Notes:

Source: German Christlicer Bundesbote, 13 May 1941, p. 14; Translated by Liz Osborne

Mrs. Elisabeth Rings Krebill, daughter of Christian and Elisabeth Ellenberger, was born on April 6, 1860, in Lee County, Iowa. On the
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. On August 30, 1883, she was joined in marriage with F. H. Krebill, who was father of 3 children: Albert D., Edwin J., and Klara. Klara preceded her in death. They made their home on a farm northwest of Donnellson, where they lived until 1916, when they returned to Donnellson. She passed away March 19th, 1941, at the age of 80 years, 11
months, and 13 days.

This marriage was blessed with seven children: Mrs. Lottie Loewenberg, Otto C. Krebill, Emma L. Krebill of Donnellson; Mrs Lizzie M. Neff, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa; Elmer H., Billings, Montana; William F., Davenport, Iowa. A son, Milton, died in early childhood. Also surrounding her in mourning are 27 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. In 1928, her husband died; her sister Mrs. Theodore Hirschler also preceded her in death in 1908. Sister Krebill was an active member in the church; so also in the mission society, where she was many years president. Her faithful Christian life and acts are an inspiration for us to follow as we work and strive for heaven. She was actively doing so long as her health permitted. Her daughter Emma was always with her, and lovinging and faithfully took care of her to the end.

The funeral was held at home and at the Zions Mennonite Church Friday afternoon, March 21st, led by Elder Adolf Friesen. A mixed quartet sang the songs "Abide with Me" at the home, and "He Leadeth Me" and "Father Suffered Me Day by Day" at the church. She was interred in the Zion Mennonite Cemetery.

Miller crowned Lee County fair Queen; Krebill honored for 42 years of volunteer service

Nick Mueller/Daily Democrat Intern

A new queen took the throne in the grandstand at the Lee County Fair Thursday night.

Melissa Miller, a Wever resident and 2001 graduate of Fort Madison High School, was crowned in front of a large crowd in between sessions of the Bill Riley Talent Show. Tara Wellman, the reigning Lee County Fair Queen, presented Miller with the crown.

Miller shared the honors Thursday night with the first and second runners-up, who were, respectively, Wendy Walljasper and Jessica Krogmeier. Bridget Dunlay was voted Miss Congeniality by her fellow candidates.

Before Miller was crowned queen, a member of the Lee County Fair board was honored in the grandstands; but it was not just any member. After 42 years of service to the Lee County Community, and everyone who enjoys the Lee County Fair year in and year out, Dwight Krebill was given his due this Thursday night during the Grandstand events. The Lee County Fair Board, who feels wholeheartedly indebted to Krebill for all of his services over these past 42 years, presented the board veteran with a gold watch.

Though a gold watch is certainly nothing to scoff at, the gift that the board really wanted to give to Krebill was not really a material one, but one of recognition, and a public outpouring of appreciation. When someone serves on the board of something like the Lee County Fair, the decisions and contributions that they make are enjoyed and felt by hundreds of
people, literally everyone attending the fair, in some cases.

That is what Thursday evening's ceremony was all about. Krebill has seen the Lee County Fair through the thick and the thin, along each and every step of the way, since 1958. That's no small achievement, and the board, along with the entire community as a whole, showed its thanks this Thursday night.

Brenda Mohrfeld, current member of the Lee County Fair board, sang Krebill's praises at Thursday's ceremonies. "We just can't thank Dwight enough, because not only was he always pitching in, but he was also our resident historian. We can always go to him for wisdom. We just wanted, along with the public, to acknowledge just how hard he has worked and how
selflessly he's contributed over all these years.

Recently, Krebill has taken the time to both honor his loved ones, and to help out the area, as memorials for his relatives are being used for different reasons. One, for his wife Mildred, was designated for the Art Hall. Given that, the money was used to landscape all around the building. This project is still in progress. In addition, Krebill set up a scholarship in the memory of his son, Doug, which goes to benefit area ag students.

In addition to all of the hoopla surrounding the crowning of Miller as queen and the honoring of Krebill, spectators were also presented with all sorts of amazingly fantabulous abilities, during the Bill Riley Talent Show. Acts of all sorts were presented, from tap-style dancing, to solo singing. The show was divided into two categories, one for "sprouts" or
youngsters, and a senior division. All of the acts performed were terrifitastic.
