Elaine,
I really don't think I have too much to help you out. Have you contacted
the Krapf and Hughes funeral home here in Hazleton? I believe they are
descended from the original KRAPF family of Hazleton and since they are a
funeral home, they might have records.
I recently posted some Hazleton marriages from abt 1880 to the Luzerne
County GenWeb Archives. I believe they were a couple of KRAPF people
mentioned there. You might want to take a look.
Over the years, I have extracted some names from the obituaries in the
Hazleton newspaper. I will list below the KRAPF people. Maybe one is
yours.
Name Age Date of paper
Henry Krapf - 6 months - 2 Oct 1879
Sophia Krapf - 5 months - 10 Apr 1879
Lewis Andrew Krapf - 3 yrs - 14 Oct 1880
John W. Krapf - -1 Dec 1893
Martha Elizabeth Krapf - 93 yrs - 3 Mar 1894
George K. Krapf - 72 yrs - 3 Apr 1900
William Krapf - - 18 Jan 1900
Elizabeth Krapf - 65 yrs - 25 Feb 1901
Betty Catherine Krapf - infant - 1 July 1930
Elvin Krapf - - 25 Feb 1935
Andrew Krapf - 30 Dec 1952
Carrie Ann Krapf - - 1 Mar 1952
Henry J. Krapf - - 17 Nov 1952
Andrew W. Krapf - 79 yrs - 27 Nov 1962

Hello, Dalice!
I noticed your post to the Zimmerman list a short while back and
wondered if you might be able to help me out. Do you by any chance have
any information -- census records, vital records, etc. -- for Hazelton,
Pennsylvania? My husband's great-grandmother was Elizabeth Anna KRAPF
and she was born 9 June 1875 in Hazelton, PA. Her parents were Adam
KRAPF and Hanna(h) HERB. I have no other information on her parents and
none at all on any siblings. I do know that they eventually moved to
Providence, Rhode Island where Anna (as she was called) met and married
Elmer Atwood FITCH. They had their two children in Providence and then
moved the family to Bristol, Lincoln, Maine where Elmer was born and
raised. This is all the information I have on Anna before her move to
Maine. Any information or suggestions of where I might look would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and have a great day!
Sincerely,
Elaine Corson
