7:3157. Feb. 1, 1811, Bethania: Br. and Sr. Pfohl visited Br. and Sr. John Krieger, who live outside the town. Some weeks ago Sr. Krieger fell on the stone pavement in front of her house, and probably broke the bone in her thigh, so for a number of weeks she has not been able to stand, and because of severe pain was obliged to remain in bed. Now she can move around the room on two crutches.
They had three children before Johannes died of a fever in 1819 at age 32.
