Wesley Raymond Krumm was born in Grinnell, Iowa on July 15, 1934, the son of Marion and Thelma
Gillespie Krumm. He was a 1953 graduate of Gibson High School. Wesley suffered with polio as a young
boy yet that did not stop him from working on his family’s farm. Over the years he worked for several area
farmers before moving to Grinnell to run a Mobil Station. Eventually he returned to Gibson and took over
the family farm and milking operation. Wesley also drove truck for Kingsberry Homes, hauled live stock to
market for many local farmers, and he worked at the Louis Rich plant in Sigourney. After retirement he
busied himself with woodworking and home improvement projects. Wesley also enjoyed traveling to visit
family out of state. His final years were spent in the Manor House Care Center where friends and staff were
considered his family.

brothers, Lawrence and Claude Krumm; two sisters, Elizabeth McIntosh and Barbara Buckley; a brother-
