ABRAM KRUPP: Mr. Abram Krupp died last Thursday morning, May 23, following a severe fall which he had experienced the previous Tuesday morning. In pursuance of his work, he had gone to the top of an elevator which had been built for the purpose of hoisting building material in the construction of the Church of the Mediator, Fifty-first and Spruce streets. (Philadelphia, PA) This elevator is nearly fifty feet in height. In some unaccountable way, Mr. Krupp fell from this height to the ground. His unconscious body was picked up, and hurried to the Presbyterian Hospital. By this time consciousness returned. It later developed that no bones were broken. No internal injuries were manifest and every hope was felt that the injured man would fully recover. But it was not to be so. He slipped from us Thursday morning, suddenly and unexpectedly.
Mr. Krupp came to Roxborough about 1888, and on September 19, 1891, was married to Miss Anna (ie) Robinson, who, with one son, George, a teller in the Manayunk Trust Company and manager of the Roxborough Branch of that company, survives him.
The deceased was a carpenter by trade, and when Mr. Frank E. Wallace, formerly of Roxborough, commenced business as contractor and builder some fifteen years ago, Mr. Krupp went with him as a foreman, and later became superintendent of construction for Mr. Wallace. In this capacity he superintended the construction of many fine buildings, specializing on churches. He was building his eighth church at the time of his death.
Mr. Krupp was a good man, a genuine Christian. For nearly twenty-six years he had been an active member of Leverington Presbyterian Church. At the time of his death, he was a trustee of this church, an assistant superintendent of its Sunday School, and the teacher of a large Bible class of over fifty members. He was interested in every good work. Such men are rare, and when they leave us, they are sorely missed. Leverington Church and its pastor will miss Abram Krupp. D. C. H.
