My great grandfather was Anton Kreucher, and when his wife died in 1896, he moved to Laurel MS with his son Joseph and Joseph's first wife Alma Maud Henderson, and Anton's daughter Fredricka Kreucher Johannson. They were all from the Clinton area, but moved to Laurel so that Anton and Joe could work at Gardiner Green Lumber. Anton died in 1900, and the Lumber Co buried him in the cemetery near there. I imagine that these were friends and neighbors that all moved to MS together to help start this Lumber Yard. We always wondered why Mississippi? Now we know. If anyone has information about these people, I would love to have anything further. Thanks. My Great Aunt Fredricka stayed in the south for the rest of her life. She lived to be 103. My Great Uncle Joe is buried in Laurel Mississippi in Hickory Grove Cemetery, as is my great grandfather.
