Gus owned a grocery store housed ina two story building on the north side of Fifth Avenue, not far west ofits intersection with Stelzer. His parents, David and Elizabeth, hadsold Gus the acre of land it stood on in 1894. In 1931 small businessesfelt the full impact of the depression. Gus' clientele was made up ofworking men, many of whom were laid all. Bill Stelzer, who grew up justeast of Gus' properties, knows that the degeneracy of Gus' sonsdevastated him financially and psychologically_ Gus Krumm owned thesmall building just east of his grocery store, which he operated as afilling station. Many of the local men played cards there regularly.It ceased operation after Gus' death. Melvin and his family convertedthe filling station into a home and lived there for several years.
    Gus drove his automobile onto the field on the north end of his propertyand rigged his shotgun so that he could discharge it at himself. Itblew off the back of his head. The funeral was held in the front of thebrick house Gus built around the turn of the century east of his grocerystore on Fifth Avenue. Still standing, it's the most pleasing of theolder houses in east Columbus, a period piece in a run downneighborhood. A porch wraps itself around the front and east sides.The corners are filled up and ornamented with stone quoins. Edwardianirregularities give it depth and visual interest.
    My grandmother went to dances at her uncle's house on east broad streetand Gus played violin. Their Miller or Krumm relatives there "had aroom they used only for dancing", she said once. Gus played the violinalso for dances held in the long room on the second floor of thebuilding that housed his grocery. On occasion my grandmother used towaltz steps in her kitchen and, as she worked, hummed to "The BlueDanube".
