Donald Emil Kraling, son of Mr. And Mrs. Emil Kraling, was born at Big Spring September 16, 1914. He was brought to his Lord in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism on November 1, 1914. After having been duly instructed in the saying doctrines, he received his baptismal vows in the rite of confirmation in 1929. He remained a member of St. Paul's Lutheran church until the time of his departure.
He became ill before he was through the eighth grade. A great deal of time was spent seeking medical aid. He has been continually bed-ridden for the last twenty-five years. The stiffening of the joints from arthritis finally advanced so far that he had little movement left.
Donald communed regularly. He attended church services in the only way possible for him--first with the loud speaker placed by his bed and then by the tape recorder which was brought to him each Sunday. This project was taken care of by the men of the Church,
