Kraus get-together
Not every family has a self-proclaimed "nut" like the Kraus' family's
Dick Kraus, of Cotuit, Mass., who organized the granddaddy of family reunions,
complete with more than 150 descendants of David and Mary Kraus in town for
the "grand" family reunion this weekend. David and Mary, who immigrated
from Volga Russia to this country in 1876, left because of a family rift over
religious preferences. Of Lutheran parents, they converted to a German Baptist
sect. The couple came through Ellis Island and settled in Marion County. Later,
in search of farmland for the sons and husbands for the daughters, they moved
to the Arlington area. A highlight of the reunion was the detailed family history,
published in loose-leaf form, with names, maps, photos and genealogy details
- a year-long research effort by Dick Kraus, a retired Cape Cod college president.
Events included a slide show, meals and a worship service this morning at the
old family church near Arlington.
