F. Krug - Tavistock
Description
During his sixty-five years living (1843-1925) and working in the Village of Tavistock, Fred Krug played an important role in the life of the community and contributing to its commercial prosperity.
Krug was born in Germany, but a British subject. His mother died when he was 2 years of age and after immigrating to Canada, his family settled on the Huron Road in Wilmot Township where his father was an innkeeper. His father died when Frederick was 10. Krug had come to Tavistock (then called Inkerman) at an early age, having delivered newspapers on horseback from Waterloo. In January of 1860, he accepted a position in the log store conducted by Jacob Wagner. Ten years later, he commenced business for himself in the red brick store built by Mr. Wagner, forming a partnership with Adam Falk in 1872 until 1884, when he returned to sole proprietor ship. He was appointed postmaster in 1885. His business grew rapidly and was given the name, The Glasgow Warehouse, in honour of his wife, Jane Stewart’s, Scottish family heritage. Mr. Krug, along with John Zimmerman, was instrumental in re-establishing the Tavistock Milling Company c. 1880, buying the property, donating the land for the siding, and finding an investor to build a new mill. He was secretary-treasurer of Knox Presbyterian Church in Tavistock for 42 years and a member of the first Tavistock Public Library board.
His family home, The Maples was built around 1879 and and at one time featured a tennis court on the front lawn, facing Woodstock Street. He and his wife raised nine children, Ellen Bell (Mrs. Wm. J. Arnott), Dr. Henry Stewart Krug, John Frederick Krug, Fred Krug Jr., Fleming Rankin Krug, Janet “Jessie” Louise (Mrs. R.B. Moore), Annie M. (Mrs. N.W. McVicar), and Robert Matheson Kru
