Emil KRAUSE born on the 7th of January 1890 in Tarutino, Akkerman, Bessarabia, South Russia was the third son of Ferdinand KRAUSE and Justine BIERWAG.
In order to avoid conscription into the Russian military at the age of 19, on the 29th of March 1909 he left Tarutino, Akkerman, Bessarabia, South Russia. Emil the first member of the Ferdinand KRAUSE family to leave South Russia, then sailed from the port of Libau (Liepaja), LATVIA on the 20th of Apr 1909 and arrived at Ellis Island, New York aboard the "SS LITUANIA" on the 6th May 1909.
The ship's manifest revealed that his final destination was Kulm, LaMoure County, North Dakota, to meet up with his friend Ferdinand BIERWAGEN. On arrival in America Emil apparently also had 34 dollars in his pocket of whatever currency it may have been at that time. It is believed that while living in America he worked for an uncle in North Dakota.
However the "1910 US Federal Census" on the 14th of Jun 1910 revealed that Emil was living with and working on the CONRAD Family Homestead, which was located about 5 miles northeast of the village of Kulm, North Dakota. There he was recorded as a 20 year old single Russian born, German speaking Hired Man/Farm Laborer that immigrated to America in 1909. Emil's employer David CONRAD, was listed as a 27 year old Russian born English speaking married farmer that immigrated to America in 1902.
Emil immigrated to Canada in 1911 and shortly thereafter took on a 320 acre homestead 10 miles west of Hilda, Alberta on Sec 32, Twp 17, Rge 2, W4. He married the neighbor's daughter Maria "Mary" KERN shortly before her 16th birthday in 1912 in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
In 1927, Emil moved his family north of Ponoka where he rented a farm. They moved back to Hilda in 1928 to their homestead where they remained until 1944, when they moved to Chilliwack, British Columbia.
