Danny Weeks of Wildorado, Texas, a small town west of Amarillo, sent us the enclosed article, which was written by the late Doris Cress and published in the Council Grove Republican on July 7, 1982. Weeks has heard about the current repair of the Greenwood Cemetery wall and told us of his ancestors’ involvement in the original construction. Weeks said, “Charles Krause was my Great Great Granduncle who helped build the wall. His sister was Johanna Krause, my Great Great Grandmother They came over from Germany on the same ship.
