John and Magdalena Krieger

Johannes (John) Krieger was born March 31, 1841 in Norka, Russia, the son of Johannes Krieger (born 1816) and Christina Nolde (born 1817). 

John married Magdalena Jöst (Yost) on February 5, 1863 in Norka. Magdalena was the daughter of Heinrich Yost (born 1808) and Christina Sauer (born 1809).

John and Magdalena were blessed with 12 children, all born in Norka. Sadly, nine died in childhood. Three of the children, Philipp (born April 2, 1873), Margaretha (born November 21, 1887), and Heinrich (born July 12, 1891), lived into adulthood.

The entire Krieger family departed from Norka on March 11, 1904, and arrived in New York on April 4, 1904, aboard the steamship Noordland. It appears that the family traveled directly to Portland.

At the time of the 1910 census, the Krieger family lived at 762 Rodney Avenue. John was no longer working. Philipp worked for the railroad, and Henry worked at a furniture factory. 

John died on April 14, 1911, and was buried at the Rose City Cemetery.

Magdalena died on October 24, 1922, and was also buried at the Rose City Cemetery.
