Lebenslauf
William (Bill) Krause wurde am 15. März 1921 in Tiegenhagen, Südrüßland, geboren. Bald darauf zog er mit seinen Eltern nach Deutschland, der Heimat seines Vaters. Im Alter von 5 Jahren wurde er getauft and in die lutherische Kirche aufgenommen. In Deutschland fing er auch an, die Schule zu besuchen, aber auf das Drängen seines Onkels, Jake Kornelsen, kam die Familie nach Kanada, wo sie zunächst bei Wheatley ansiedelte. Etwas später zog die Familie nach Port Crewe, wo der Vater im Fischfang arbeitete. Als William 15 Jahre alt war, brach er seine Schulbildung ab, um seinem Vater in der Fischerei zu helfen. Zwei Jahre später zog er mit seinen Eltern and einem jüngeren Bruder nach Point Pelee, wo die Familie eine eigene Fischerei erwarb.
1942 heiratete Br. Krause die ehemalige Annie Matthies in der Oak Street Vereinigten Mennonitengemeinde. Drei Kinder wurden dem Ehepaar geboren: Eric Richard (1943), William Alexander (1945) and Kathleen Ann (1956). Als die Faith Mennonitengemeinde gegründet wutde war die Familie Krause mit dabei. Br. Krause war der Bauherr des gegenwärtigen Gotteshauses der Gemeinde. Er widmete dem Ban kostenlos ein ganzes Jahr seiner Zeit.
Vor vier Jahren erkrankte Bill an Leukämie (Blutkrebs). Tapfer, und doch dem Willen Gottes ergeben, kämpfte er gegen these tückische Krankheit and nahm jeden Tag als eine Gabe von Gott entgegen. Am 15. Januar 1980 durfte er ruhig einschlafen, um erst in der Ewigkeit zu erwachen.
