Harry Krob emigrated from Schalbach, Lorraine in 1888 with his mother, his brothers, Jacob and Louis, and his sisters, Sophie and Melanie. They were hoping to find their father, Jacob Krob, who had disappeared after he emigrated from Schalbach several years earlier.

The 1900 census identifies Harry Krob as a coal miner living at home in Connellsville, Pennsylvania with his mother and brother Louie, who was also identified as a coal miner. His mother ran a boarding house.

Harry Krob married Elise Hirzel June 25, 1903 initially living in Connellsville and eventually settling in New Kensington, PA. Their three children were born in PA: Elise (Elsie) in 1904, Alfred in 1906 and Marie in 1908. Soon after they moved to Toledo, Ohio, where Hirzel Family had settled, and they opened a neighborhood grocery store at the corner of Thurston and Delence on the East Side. Harry later took a job working for the City Water Department, eventually becoming a manager there. They bought a new home at 541 Raymer Blvd., also on the East Side, around 1914. Harry lived there until his death.
