After my great-grandmotherElizabeth died in 1924, my grandmother and the other heirs, for manyyears, held the property in common. And they rented it to Red Casto, whoworked in the Ralston plant in the twenties and thirties when he was notlaid off... The house was well suited to Red's large family even thoughit had no plumbing except for a pitcher pump in the kitchen connected toa cistern and no central heating. My grandmother received $22/mo rent...and distributed it...
Page 46: when David Krumm died, he endowed his children with propertyenough to make them relatively secure. I remember as a teenager tryingto articulate that quality my grandmother conveyed when she studiedthrough the windows of the Sears roebuck bungalow the land in theKrumm's had held for a century. "Pride of place", by which I meantsomething a hair different from pride of ownership, some more intimateand extended connection, a tenure of inherited land that inspiredassurance without arrogance. The 30 acres my grandparents acquired eastof Stelzer road, my grandfather described to me one time as acres "Ibought" and acres "I sold" to pay my grandmother's medical bills. Isurmise that it was his decision mostly and his money which went to buythe land later in Idaho. I do believe that the two of them werepartners in the use of their assets.
Page 54:
David Krumm family was a farm family but on the extent and nature ofwhose leisure activities were more common in the city than in thecountryside. The family situation on the edge of Columbus and theexistence of affluent relatives in the city, no doubt, influenced themtoward a new more sophisticated embellishment of life.

On February 08, 1900, David Krumm himself died the age of 65. EdithYearling, whose parents lived on adjacent farm, remembered that sheattended David's funeral. A child then, she was somewhat curious toknow what dead bodies looked like. The casket must have been placed inthe front parlor in front of the oversized window that looked out on theroad. The wall on which hung the double-tiered fireplace mantle, thewall with the door to the front porch, and the wall into which were setsliding double doors would not that have accommodated it... A portraitof David Krumm and his wife Elizabeth hung on a wall of my grandparent'sliving room facing the portrait of my grandfather's parents in Sweden onthe opposite wall. Upstairs, in one of the low closets under thesloping roofs, was stored to reed runner that had been laid down overthe parlor carpet for mourners to walk on when they viewed the corpse.

David Krumm's estate, my grandmother (Margaret (Krumm) Swenson), RalphConley, and my grandmother's sister Emma ((Krumm) Seydler) each received14 acres fronting on Stelzer road. Because the land there was lessvaluable than the land on Fifth Avenue distributed to other heirs, Emma,Ralph, and my grandmother were awarded an additional four to 5 acreseach on the south side of fifth avenue. Thus my grandmother became withGus and the others a partner in the Krumm's heirs' development of theeast end of east Columbus.

When David Krumm died in 1900, according to a partition of his estateamong his heirs, ordered by the probate court, Gus, his sister Carrie,and his brother Henry each inherited 13.7 acres, extending west of Gus'sgrocery in the order above, each parcel fronting, on the north side ofFifth avenue. In 1912 the Franklin county commissioners approved aplat the three owners submitted for "Krumm's addition". The platdivided the land Henry owned between fifth and sixth avenues into 22lots; Gus's, into 18. In 1924 the village council of East Columbusapproved a platform "Krumm's second edition", dividing the land Carrieowned between fifth, sixth, and seventh avenues and the land Gus ownedbetween sixth and seventh into the 36 lots belonging to Carrie andsixteen two Gus. Seventeenth Avenue has never been extended into thearea covered by the plan. After 1929 the village was too hard pressedto add to existing streets; and there was no need, for there was verylittle building. Between 1929 and 1930. Gus and Carrie's expectationsfrom the sale of real estate-Gus' especially-faltered. Issues affectingGus and his widow, the Ralston companies schedule of operations at itsplant on the south side of fifth avenue and the extension of seventhavenue, were much discussed in my parents as house in the thirties."
