Martin, born just east of Columbus, was graduated from the Columbus High School. He was married to Wilhelmina Luckhaupt who was born July 16th, 1848, and died August 6th, 1870. He then married Mary Elizabeth Luckhaupt, a sister of his first wife. Wilhelmina and Mary Elizabeth Luckhaupt were daughters of Adam Luckhaupt and Wilhelmina Gertrude Karst. Adam Luckhaupt was born in Germany on November 2nd, 1809, and at the age of fourteen years he spent ninety days in crossing the Atlantic on a sailing vessel.

HISTORY OF FRANKLIN COUNTY - 1263

Krumm and his family still reside. Adam Luckhaupt died on August 21st, 1885, and his wife on July 21st, 1887.

To Martin and Wilhelmina Luckhaupt Krumm a son was born, William H., who died July 10th, 1928. To him and his second wife, Mary Elizabeth Luckhaupt Krumm were born seven children as follows : Raymond E. L., Wilhelmina, Clara, Howard L., Ruby, Richard and Helen. Wilhelmina, Clara and Richard died in infancy.

At an early age Martin Krumm became associated with his father in the manufacturir.g business and carried it on after his father's death. In 1878 Daniel, his brother, became a partner and the firm was known as M. & D. Krumm. In 1904 Daniel retired. In 1915 the business was incorporated under the name of The Martin Krumm Company with Martin as president and his son, Howard L., as general manager.

The production from this old shop has been of such variety as to cover a field of great scope. Among the commoner products of today are fire escapes, stairways, ladders, balconies, doors, railings, window guards, fences and ornamental jron. Practically all of the iron fencing on school properties and, it is estimated, seventy-five percent of all iron fencing in Columbus was made and erected by this concern.

Originally a horse traveled in a circle to furnish power for the operation of machinery in this shop. A gas engine, built by Reeves Brothers of Columbus, has averaged about eight hours of duty per working day since April, 1905, it having supplanted one of the steam engines which turned the wheels during the intervening period. A combination shear and punch press has been in operation for fifty years. One of the two first iron working lathes to be installed in Columbus, approximately seventy years ago, is still owned by the company.

Martin Krumm has invented and patented machinery and articles used in connection with the iron industry and with his many hobbies. A violincello presented to him by Henry Treyens and John Bickel more than seventy years ago, is his pet hobby today. He was a member of the Columbus Maennerchor for about forty years and played several musical instruments.

1264 - HISTORY OF FRANKLIN COUNTY

In 1893 when the Adam Luckhaupt estate was subdivided (Krumm, Sargent and Krumm Subdivision) Martin Krumm remodeled the homestead in order that Mound Street might be extended and he laid sidewalks and planted trees along the various streets of the subdivision and set aside a strip of ground for an alley. At this time he designed and built, along original lines, a furnace which, after thirty-seven winters of operation, is still giving satisfactory service to the fourteen room house.

Throughout his eighty-seven years of life Martin Krumm has derived his greatest pleasure and satisfaction in conceiving and producing things of unusual merit and durability and in contributing to the comfort and happiness of those about him.
