KRITNER
ANNA R. EDWARD M.
1883 - 1949 1880 - 1951. The 1920 census shows two children listed for Ed and Anna Kritner. The oldest was Anna and the youngest was Alfred. Alfred was not in the family picture that was taken many years before the census. Also, no one seems to remember an Alfred so I think it was an error in the census. She was christened in 1883 in Hopewell Methodist Church by Rev. H. C. Ihne.5
