Billy Proudfoot's Obituary

SAD NEWS





My name is Elizabeth Charlotte Barbara Kracht. I was born on November 9, 1891 in Vanderburgh County, Indiana. I am the sixth child of Christian Frederick Kracht and Elizabetha D. Doerner. My parents were both born in Germany and my father was a farmer. My mother married father after he had widowed, with 6 children.

I grew up just north of Evansville, Indiana in Scott Township. My family attended The Trinity Lutheran Church in Darmstadt. In August of 1911, I married Edward Benjamin Erk, who was a farmer. We never had any children. I died in December of 1924. I am buried at Trinity Lutheran Church Cemetery with the rest of my family.
