   The Popular Veteran and Citizen Dies at Waveland.
   
   Yesterday the sad news was received from Waveland that William B. Krumbhaar, one of this city;s leading men, had passed away there during the morning. The death was not unexpected, for Mr. Krumbhaar had been ailing for over a year. He retired from business in order to regain his health and visited Saratoga and other resorts, but, finding that there was little improvement, he returned and sought relief in the piny air of Covington. Six weeks ago, by the advice of his physicians, he tried another change of air and scene, and rented a cottage at Waveland, which the family has since occupied. Every care was bestowed upon him, and every attention given, but he slowly drifted towards the end. A few days ago he became unconscious, and suffering did not awake him, so that he sank peacefully to sleep. The intelligence was received with regret at every resort along the coast, in all of which Mr. Krumbhaar had many friends, and sorrow in the city was general.
   
   Mr. Krumbhaar was born in Philadelphia on June 7, 1835, and was, therefore, justd a few days over 61 years of age. He was of distinguished ancestry, and received an excellent education. When quite a young man he came to the south and became one of the ardent lovers of the section. When the war broke out he enlisted as a private in the Washington Artillery, and was several times promoted for gallantry, taking part in most of the battles in which the Army of Tennessee won glory. He was in command of a battery for a time, and attained the rank of major before the surrender at Appomattox. Since then he has been a loyal supporter of the confederate veteran organizations, and was a member of the Army of Tennessee Camp, of this city.
   
   After the war, Mr. Krumbhaar became associated with Mr. Thomas C. Herndon, now the manager of the clearing-house, in the cotton business, the firm being known as Krumbhaar & Herndon. They continued in that business for years, Mr. Krumbhaar leaving it to take up life insurance, become connected with the Equitable Company in 1888, He enlarged his operations in that direction by taking Messrs. Wisdon and Levy into partnership, and was prospering when disease overtook him, and he was compelled to abandon active life, parting with his interest to the enterprising young men who were associated with him. In business, as in social life, he was the soul of honor and made many warm friends.
   
   Mr. Krumbhaar marzried Miss Bertha Penn, a lovely Louisianian, the daughter of General Alfred Penn, and the sister of Ex-Governor D. B. Penn, and six children bless the union and survive him. The sons are Alfred Penn, William B., Charles Conrad and Hugh M. Penn [sic], and the daughters Miss Evelyn and Mrs. E. Hellwege.
   
   Before his illness, Mrs. Krumbhaar was considered a man of fine physical strength, and took a delight in all manner of amateur sport and exercise. He was an enthusiastic member of the Southern Yacht Club, took an interest in varioius branches of athletics and encouraged his children to cultivate sound bodies, as well as sound minds. He was devoted to his family, and few men were better loved within the home circle. He was of a social dispositioin and belonged to the Boston Club and other similar organizations.
   
   The remains will be removed to Pass Christian and will be burined there in the family plot. A number of people from the city will pay tribute to the memory of the brave, gentle and generous man who has gone before.
