Kraske, William (Bill) Part 1

Details

DescriptionBill Kraske spoke about both his father's side of the family, the Kraske's who came from Germany through the Port of New York circa 1900, and also his mother's side of the family, the Wade's who had originally immigrated from England, circa 1611 first settling in Williamsburg, Virginia. The Kraske and Wade families were heavily involved in the local community of Ballantine and Worden and owned several businesses in addition to homesteading on the Huntley Project. Bill mentioned that his grandmother Wade had a total of 15 children and 4 sets of twins which was a record in Kansas where they had come from. Bill graduated from Huntley Project High School and entered the Vietnam War. Following his war service Bill joined his brother and traveled all over Europe. He settled back down on the Huntley Project to raise his own three children.
