While looking for parents of Marion L. and Blanche Hallowell Krigbaum of Perry County, OH, I came across the following obituaries on Microfilm at the Zanesville Library and thought the information contained within might be of interest to researchers.

"Necrological Record..Demetris Krigbaum aged 71 years died at his residence No. 32 Zane Street (City of Zanesville, Muskingum County, OH) at 4:30 oclock this morning. Death was due to the grip. The deceased had for a number of years been a resident of Zanesville and was for a long time weigh master of the Market House scales. He leaves a wife and seven children to mourn their loss. The children are Mrs. Edward Call, of the Dresden Road, Mrs. Eli Basehart, Harry, Albert, Louis, Stewart and Miss Connie Krigbaum, of this city. The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed."
Source: Zanesville Courier Newspaper March 01, 1899
Further investigation brought the following information: Wife's name was Mary Ann born Abt. 1834 and a daughter Mary F. born Abt. 1856. He is buried in Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Zanesville, OH.

William Krigbaum, aged 83, until recently a resident of this city, (Zanesville, OH), died at the State Hospital in Columbus at 1 oclock Tuesday morning after a lingering illness. He was born in Cumberland, MD, but had been a resident of this county (Muskingum) since he was 17 years of age. For many years he was a farmer in the Philo (Harrison Township) neighborhood, where he was well known and highly respected. In recent years and until stricken he resided on Pierce Street, this city (Zanesville). Mr. Krigbaum was a member of the St. Thomas Catholic Church (in Zanesville) He is survived by one brother, S. K. Krigbaum."

I didn't think to write the source newspaper down for this one...Could be Courier, Zanesville Signal, or Times Recorder. The only other information I have to offer on William is that he was listed as a widow in 1910 living in Philo on the census.
