He was the fifth child of Martin and Frederica (Fichtner) Krumm,and was born March 12, 1850, on the S.W. corner of Sixth and StateStreets. When three years old his parents removed to the east side ofFourth Street near the alley between Friend (Main) and Mound Streets,where his father established a machine shop and later began themanufacture of iron fencing, a business still flourishing under themanagement of the younger brother Martin. Here his boyhood and youthwere spent attending schools and working between times in the shop withhis father and brothers. He graduated from the Columbus High School in1868, and for a time, while deciding on his future career, he clerkedfor his oldest brother Fred in his dry goods store on Fourth Street. Atthe age of twenty years he entered the law office of English & Baldwin,as a law student and after three years of hard study was admitted to theBar in 1873. He soon formed a partnership with J.H. Heitman, afterwardsMayor. In the spring of 1879 he was elected City Solicitor by acombination of Republicans and Greenbackers, and so well did he performthe duties of that office and so popular did he become that in 1881 hewas re-elected on the Republican ticket without opposition.
    At the close of his second term he declined to be a candidate againand resumed the practice of law and soon built up a large and lucrativebusiness which continued until within a few years past when ill healthcompelled his gradual withdrawal from active practice. As a lawyer hewas noted for accuracy and painstaking care in drawing papers for closeattention to the details of practice. He was one of the very fewlawyers in Columbus who could draw legal papers with equal accuracy andfacility in both German and English.
    Mr. Krumm was married in 1875 to Miss Mary M. Zettler, and was thefather of ten children of whom seven, together with their mother survivehim. He was a man of high character, public spirited and deeplyinterested in the upbuilding and improving of Columbus."
